Composed some of the greatest movie scores ever. My favorite would be "Blade Runner". His music was used for the science series "Cosmos".

I liked his The Friends of Mr. Cairo, a tribute to 1940s detective noir films.

He was also in a psychedelic-prog rock band in Greece in the 60s:

Aphrodite's Child

I had this album from the day it was released and bought the CD about a year ago. Memories from my youth:

Jon and Vangelis - I Hear You Now - 1980

Just goes to show you don’t have to be able to read ‘fly poo on paper’ (music notation) to make great, memorable music

Personally, his best stuff was for Bladerunner, but that just me.

Still listen to some of his fantastic music even to this day. He will be missed.

He also wrote Hymne which was used in a Gallo wine commercial in the early '80s. It took his work outside of the movie theaters to the mainstream public.

I remember 2 albums he did. One was Albedo 0.95 (or something like that).

The second album I forget the name of but I remember the cover.

RIP. I was just listening to a cut off his Opera Sauvage album last week:

And that led me back to this Chanel ad (1979) that Ridley Scott directed, Vangelis doing the music

I used to fall asleep on my ship to the Cosmos soundtrack.

Composed some of the greatest movie scores ever. My favorite would be “Blade Runner”.

Opening scene and sound of “Blade Runner” is one of the best dramatic openings of any movie. The sound fits the mood of the scene so well.
