Won the Academy Award for Best Original Score (Chariots of Fire, 1982). Widely known for Blade Runner and numerous film scores; extensive use of synthesizers; historically performed few concerts and maintained a low public profile.

DeBaser reviews present Vangelis as a reclusive genius of electronic and film music. Key albums discussed include Blade Runner, Chariots of Fire, Antarctica and early experimental works. Reviewers emphasize his cinematic scope, use of synthesizers and occasional avant-garde experiments.

For:Listeners of cinematic electronic and ambient music; soundtrack collectors and fans of experimental synthesizer works.

 Vangelis is the prototype of a complete musical genius: an eclectic composer, arranger, multi-instrumentalist, producer, and successful author.
