Vangelis is one of the greatest musicians and composers of our time. Vangelis will be remembered like Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (& other great composers of the past) and his music will live on forever.
BUT when it comes out a new album of Vangelis? And when we have a web site with some decent music video for his improvisations? Why Vangelis is so private? Vangelis made to feel !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You have to teach music to future generations !!!!!!
I think Vangelis is a messenger of the gods to delight us with its majestic scores and compositions which leave their soul and simply reflect the lineage that comes from sua famous direct ancestors. One of our contemporary composers, which must be enjoyed in life. You're the best and I am grateful to life the power to breathe the same air as you. Great Man!
What happened to the guy? He just physically fell apart. He used to be so good looking, not so long ago. Looks like he has skin cancer now. All that money, can't he take better care of himself?? :(
20000 pounds of gear! god bless u Vangelis... i could do your.. theme with one EMU PROTEUS. synthesizer...and yet i sit here in my studio, broke and jobless..you are the chosen one of us.. be humble my friend!

Philippines and other South-east Asian were not recorded in history. Correct me if it is recorded.
It begins in 1521 the discovery of Philippines by Portuguese explorer Magellan. If Alexander discovered India, then it follows the Western influence in Asia.
Exscuse me, India existed for 4000 yrs. What do you mean by saying that Alexander discovered it. Buddha was born in India in 625 B.C which was about 200 years before Alexander was born ! I do not know about Phillipines but please do not talk about South Asia becuase it was recorded way back thousannds of years ago. The westerners won't know about it as they were not civilised during those days.
Their civilisation starts only with the Greek Civilisation !
Egypt, Persia, India and China existed many thousand years ago. So please do not distort history but go to the Library and do some reference, please ! Do not be ignorant.
Alexander did not discover anything. He only conquered territory which was already discovered by the Persians !
@sahajad Taj mahal is an Indian property but its architecture and Design belongs to Arab Culture. Almost All the greatest architecture in India is attributed to Islam. India doesnot have any Great architecture of itself constructed by Hindus. Hindus were Hut, slum village dwelling ppl lacked education, lived in superstition, worshipped tree Gods, who wer civilised only after Arab and British Entered India. They were typical villagers just like today 60% of Indians live in Rural Areas.
Arab's do not have much of a culture coming from the bedouin tents of the dessert. They only lived in tents and that is all. You have go tall facts mixed up. The Taj Mahal has got the Persian architecture which was brought to India by the Persians. ( who were originally Zoroastrians until the Arabs forced them to change their religeon ).
India had different types of architecture before that. Look at Buddha Gaya during Lord Buddha's time ( 625 B.C ).
If you go to the very North of India you will still see these ruins of the early architecture that existed during Buddha's time and then you can analyse how the great palaces , parks and ponds were built. Most of them are in ruins now due to the invasions by Alexander's troups and also the Persians. But still you can analyse the ruins carefully.
Come to Sri lanka and also see its 2,200 yr old ruins that belonged to the anceint kings !
Anyone know what some of the gear shown here is. I know the yamaha synth but what are those little boxes he seems to have a whole bunch of with the red lights and the 3 black knobs?
its his custom made equipment.. used for instantly accessing and changing whatever sounds he wants.
since the late 80's he has had his "direct" equipment so he can change things as quick as possible , and these modules are probably the current version of it .
But I wish if the Greeks were still followers of their Old religeon instead of shifting to Christianity.
The greeks Gods were similar to the Hindu Gods of India. The Greeks are centred around Zeus at Mt. Olympus and the Indian gods are centered around Shiva from the Himalayan mountains. So if the Indians can still follow their 4000 yr old religeon, it is a pity that the Greeks could not do the same !
@sahajad even if your comments is 2 years old i will tell you something because you judging without know everything...in Ancient Greece they never exist a relegion...in modern call in 12th gods...they were thousands of thousands gods..Greeks have temples for them to honor them cause they save them from the titans,nephilims etc they honor them as heroes...they honor them like we Greeks of modern day honor the heroes of the revolution of 1821 in ancient Greece believe to the the one and only God

O.K. You may be a Christian fanatic but please do not distort history or deny the ancient Greek God's. The ancient Greeks wers not only heroes but they were worshipped by the people with temples etc the same way you Christians do today.
The worship of the Greek God's on Mount Olympus is similar to the worship of the Hindu God's of India on the mountain of Himalayas. The only diffrerence was that the Christians could not destroy the Hindu Gods.
@sahajad fanatic christan bfff you kiding me??trust me i am Greek and i know few things that you dont know i respect your opinion and i like that you respect the ancient Greeks...and because some East fanatic"christans"destroy the ancient Greek temples etc...doesnt mean that it was jesus christ fault the hindu gods that you describe that are look like ancient Greek gods actually they are the same gods with other names for example in north europe the God Thor was Apollon
androoow mate i apologize for using a bad language for my first comment.second thing...i could do a chord progression analysis for you to show that he practically uses same chords over and over...only some times he changes the position in wich he takes the chords
what a stupid comment! ,... both Vangelis and Hans are amazing artists , yet you have to bring them down to a " i'm better than you" level!! tell your comment to Hans and i'm just see how he would reply to you.. Grow up!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
vangelis is so repetitive...nothing new in his music,not even the instruments,nor the style...nothing inovative...if u follow up the chords he uses...they`re the same
whilst you are truly entitled to your opinion.. if you listened all of Vangelis's publicly available music from the 70's to now , you would hear a Vast variety that would invalidate that statement.. recently i would agree that the sound palette he uses is similar..but then the same is easily, if not more so said for Hans.. i love them both..
@havox84 A stupid comment, every artist has their own style and if they stick to it its up to them. You may as well say blue should try to be red or green should try to be orange. Blue hasn't changed much since i caught on to it but i still like blue........
@havox84 A stupid comment, every artist has their own style and if they stick to it its up to them. You may as well say blue should try to be red or green should try to be orange. Blue hasn't changed much since i caught on to it but i still like blue........
@havox84 Hahaha I don't care how old this comment is, it cracks me up. I love Hans Zimmer don't get me wrong, but most of his scores are literally the exact same notes in the same. Gladiator - Pirates of the Caribbean in particular have bits of music that are IDENTICLE to one another. hahaha and Vangelis who has spanned untold styles over his immense career is repetitive. Please.
Hans Zimmer is a soundtrack composer dummie, vangelis is a real musician , you just listen vangelis music from the movies , vangelis composed much more than soundtracks!
all of that ancient stuff is pretty much far back in time. someone gave me crap for saying what i said earlier, but somehow my original comment is missing. i said "how fitting to have a greek composer do the soundtrack" and someone rubbed it in my face that alexander was macedonian. i made the above comment and people hate it, so what. makes no sense.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
take ya hairy chest and big nose and crappy dancing plus all of the hassle you give women in clubs and stick it all up your ass and fuck off why you are doing it you fucking slimey greek sex pest on the dance floor. We have all been clubbing only to have the sweaty greek hassling the girls in the group thinking they are real magnets but really they are creeping all the girls out. They are a night clubbers nightmare.
i believe its part of his custom made sampler plackback devices linked /part of his " DIRECT " setup..so he has instant access to changing the sounds hes using in an immediate way, rather than via menus on commercially available stuff.
I think the movie was good. Maybe because i have read about alexander the great for almost 10 years. I'm not representing a nation like macedonia or greece, were "of course" the people wanted a new version of braveheart. Facts wasnt that interesting, they wanted some kind of movie that could awaken the nationalism. Lets face it ! He was homosexual but that word didnt even excist in those days. Sins, jesus and popes werent invented yet.
since you are reading about alexander the great for over 10 years,you must know that Alexander was Greek,living at the greek region called then and now makedonia,as leonidas was greek,living in Sparta,again a greek region...Improve your studies friend...
they are his custom built modules , prob evolved /linked to his "direct" box system..i'd guess they contain samples/sounds that give him the immediate control he needs that commerical stuff cannot provide.
Absolutely phantastic score! I wait that the uncut-version of ALEXANDER (ALEXANDER REVISITED) will be released in Germany to hear more music of this VANGELIS score. MY PRAYER GOES TO SONY MUSIC TO RELEASE A 2-CD-DELUXE-SET OF THIS SCORE, THERE WOULD BE ENOGH RECORDINGS TO RELEASE THAT! I only can recommend his other masterpieces like "1492", "Blade Runner 3-CD-Box-Set" and "El Greco" (2008th Soundtrack released in Greece, only!). Phantastic filmmusic, also! - Great Regards from Germany
maybe you should listen to some other of Vangelis''s work before saying something like that!!! A lot of the Alexander music WAS done by live orchestra and choir, and imo it pales in comparison to his synth/sampler work and synth/sampler and choir work ( 1492 for example)
i wasnt saying it was bad. i like vangelis. it was an awesome score that i would be interested to hear without the added synth. (nothing wrong with synth just want to hear both versions)
i too wish there were two versions, i've said before i would love to hear his original "guide" version of the score when he's in his improv mode just playing the synths and"composing " it. Audio Sotware companies need to develop a "remove synth" filter :)
they say that he composed much more material for the film (vangelis worked over a year with stone) but as the film didn't succes in USA, they decided to put only one cd, i like the soundtrack but i would prefer a full sinths work....
You can keep Vangelis' shamelessly derivative later output. There can be no heart and soul in a sampled choir and horn section, and I suspect he knows that really. Go back to Vangelis' pre-1985 work and you will hear a talented Composer in his natural habitat - and it can be wonderful.
when u listen to any mp3 or a CD your listening to sampled choirs, horns and everything, how do u think the sound comes from them?..so to make the statement about no heart and soul from a sample is somewhat bizarre!..some people can use analog synths and sound heartless and souless..it's What u do with the equipment that matters. I agree Vangelis's earlier work sounds different from newer stuff but then i find Anthem and Mythodea 2 b lacking and they were done with a real orchestra and choir!
whilst i agree Vangelis is better or maybe a better way to put it is different to many other composers...why should you single out American composers?? your remark borders on being racist for singling them out!!
i agree with you, but he refuses a lot of soundtracks, besides he want to have liverty to do what he wants, (and vangelis can do that) i would like to have the missing and bounty soundtracks, but as i said he choose what he want to do....
does anyone know what the music was called when he was wounded and said men were going home i cant seem to find it? when hes placedo n a horse and sees his dead father
Yes, there is no other who could have scored this movie than Vangelis. The music of Vangelis is indescribable, just as Alexander was.. They are two Greek heroes.
too bad the movie sucks balls. Hey Stone, hes called Alexander THE GREAT for a reason. hes not a wuss whos right hand commander looks like a woman. And whats with this "new world order" crap people keep shouting about?
Well said...the scene where Alexander is riding triumphant into some city and his right hand commander gives him that girly lovers look....made me want to puke. I dont mind in those days there was some funny stuff going on but lets just make the movie with Alexander as a real man. We can let slide the boy lover nonsense for documentaries. The action battle scenes were great but the close relationship stuff...was hard to get over.
However, 'Alexander Revisited - The Final Cut' is the best that you can have from this extraordinary movie. Stone is not against the New World Order, it's what's brewing behind it in which he doesn't agree with, and she shows it through the inhuman and superhuman Alexander character. With 'Nixon', the third version is his masterpiece.
where can i get all the tracks? im afraid the cd is not for sell in portugal and im not buying it on net. i only have the end music the called "Titans"

androoow mate i apologize for using a bad language for my first comment.second thing...i could do a chord progression analysis for you to show that he practically uses same chords over and over...only some times he changes the position in wich he takes the chords

vangelis is so repetitive...nothing new in his music,not even the instruments,nor the style...nothing inovative...if u follow up the chords he uses...they`re the same
havox84 2 years ago
whilst you are truly entitled to your opinion.. if you listened all of Vangelis's publicly available music from the 70's to now , you would hear a Vast variety that would invalidate that statement.. recently i would agree that the sound palette he uses is similar..but then the same is easily, if not more so said for Hans.. i love them both..

@androoow lol... mr zimmer is the less innovative composer of the modern soundtrack era, his chord progressions are the same since 1980

@havox84 A stupid comment, every artist has their own style and if they stick to it its up to them. You may as well say blue should try to be red or green should try to be orange. Blue hasn't changed much since i caught on to it but i still like blue........

@havox84 Hahaha I don't care how old this comment is, it cracks me up. I love Hans Zimmer don't get me wrong, but most of his scores are literally the exact same notes in the same. Gladiator - Pirates of the Caribbean in particular have bits of music that are IDENTICLE to one another. hahaha and Vangelis who has spanned untold styles over his immense career is repetitive. Please.

all of that ancient stuff is pretty much far back in time. someone gave me crap for saying what i said earlier, but somehow my original comment is missing. i said "how fitting to have a greek composer do the soundtrack" and someone rubbed it in my face that alexander was macedonian. i made the above comment and people hate it, so what. makes no sense.

i believe its part of his custom made sampler plackback devices linked /part of his " DIRECT " setup..so he has instant access to changing the sounds hes using in an immediate way, rather than via menus on commercially available stuff.

I think the movie was good. Maybe because i have read about alexander the great for almost 10 years. I'm not representing a nation like macedonia or greece, were "of course" the people wanted a new version of braveheart. Facts wasnt that interesting, they wanted some kind of movie that could awaken the nationalism. Lets face it ! He was homosexual but that word didnt even excist in those days. Sins, jesus and popes werent invented yet.

since you are reading about alexander the great for over 10 years,you must know that Alexander was Greek,living at the greek region called then and now makedonia,as leonidas was greek,living in Sparta,again a greek region...Improve your studies friend...

Absolutely phantastic score! I wait that the uncut-version of ALEXANDER (ALEXANDER REVISITED) will be released in Germany to hear more music of this VANGELIS score. MY PRAYER GOES TO SONY MUSIC TO RELEASE A 2-CD-DELUXE-SET OF THIS SCORE, THERE WOULD BE ENOGH RECORDINGS TO RELEASE THAT! I only can recommend his other masterpieces like "1492", "Blade Runner 3-CD-Box-Set" and "El Greco" (2008th Soundtrack released in Greece, only!). Phantastic filmmusic, also! - Great Regards from Germany

andreagiuseppe 3 years ago
maybe you should listen to some other of Vangelis''s work before saying something like that!!! A lot of the Alexander music WAS done by live orchestra and choir, and imo it pales in comparison to his synth/sampler work and synth/sampler and choir work ( 1492 for example)
androoow 3 years ago
i wasnt saying it was bad. i like vangelis. it was an awesome score that i would be interested to hear without the added synth. (nothing wrong with synth just want to hear both versions)
andreagiuseppe 3 years ago
i too wish there were two versions, i've said before i would love to hear his original "guide" version of the score when he's in his improv mode just playing the synths and"composing " it. Audio Sotware companies need to develop a "remove synth" filter :)
androoow 3 years ago
they say that he composed much more material for the film (vangelis worked over a year with stone) but as the film didn't succes in USA, they decided to put only one cd, i like the soundtrack but i would prefer a full sinths work....

bgs67089 3 years ago
You can keep Vangelis' shamelessly derivative later output. There can be no heart and soul in a sampled choir and horn section, and I suspect he knows that really. Go back to Vangelis' pre-1985 work and you will hear a talented Composer in his natural habitat - and it can be wonderful.
mcan4287 3 years ago
when u listen to any mp3 or a CD your listening to sampled choirs, horns and everything, how do u think the sound comes from them?..so to make the statement about no heart and soul from a sample is somewhat bizarre!..some people can use analog synths and sound heartless and souless..it's What u do with the equipment that matters. I agree Vangelis's earlier work sounds different from newer stuff but then i find Anthem and Mythodea 2 b lacking and they were done with a real orchestra and choir!

Film producers should request more soundtracks from Vangelis. He is much,much better than some pathetic american composers.

Well said...the scene where Alexander is riding triumphant into some city and his right hand commander gives him that girly lovers look....made me want to puke. I dont mind in those days there was some funny stuff going on but lets just make the movie with Alexander as a real man. We can let slide the boy lover nonsense for documentaries. The action battle scenes were great but the close relationship stuff...was hard to get over.

However, 'Alexander Revisited - The Final Cut' is the best that you can have from this extraordinary movie. Stone is not against the New World Order, it's what's brewing behind it in which he doesn't agree with, and she shows it through the inhuman and superhuman Alexander character. With 'Nixon', the third version is his masterpiece.
