Cheers androow, often look in on this , a rare treat for us mere mortals. It looks the same synth set-up as the soil festivities part vid, the timelines of the albums are very close too I guess. The fairlight in the main setup with percussion and whatever else he had loaded into it, the cs80 and vp330 switched around tho..hell ,....am I an anorak or what!

@mik300z its a EMU emulator as Vangelis as far as i am aware never owed a fairlight ,.. but deffo to that vid and Soil Festivities.. would have been filmed the same time as he was recording SF album.  This vid i don't believe is in Nemo , the layout ,lighting ect..was prob a temp setup in Paris as the other part of the vid is there when he is walking with the Director..however I could be wrong :)

Vangelis and The Beatles were both good musicians/Group, but don´t compare them to Bach and Mozart. It´s like Comparing a Commodore 64 to Cray XT5. There are worlds between them.

[androoow]

agreed. Vangelis is the Cray XT5 ...cheers

Is the top synth he plays at 1:41 a Roland VP-330?

@teknobeam That's the stupidest thing I've heard all morning.

@door34

You are comparing apples and oranges. Commodore 64 vs Cray is a comparison of power and speed. Comparing Bach and Vangelis doesn't make much sense--one made classical music, and the other electronic. Both result in beautiful artistry which we can admire. Imagine what Bach or Mozart would have done with today's electronic technology...

[iammagyar]

what is the name of the song at 1:20 where the 808 beat kicks in? im almost certain it didnt make the soundtrack...

@androoow Not exactly... Although it's sure Vangelis would have had no problem in being a genius with early 1700's technology, you can't know what Mozart and Bach would've done with today's technology... So you can't really be sure neither there's a huge gap between their approach to music, nor who would create better sounding music. And my best advice for door34, never compare human minds with computers.

This is my favorite album by him. A prized possesion.
