Rest In Peace, Vangelis. - Iconic films like Chariots of Fire (1981) and Blade Runner (1982) would not have become benchmarks and masterpieces in film without his great compositions.

Take wing, dear Evangelos. Apollo and the Mousai all herald your triumphant return to Olympus.

RIP Vangelis.
I'm a big fan of his music and personally think what he did for Blade Runner helped set the tone of the movie from the opening shot and turn it into the classic it is today.

RIP Genius.
So many "musicians" who are really mere computer samplers (plagiarizers of others creativity) can be wrongly described as "geniuses". But this man was the real thing. A true (and modest) genius. My favorite of many of his masterful tracks is "The Mayflower" from the brilliant album "The Friends of Mr Cairo." RIP.
