In your opinion, Vangelis's greatest film soundtrack.

[Aristus]

He won the Oscar for "Chariots Of Fire', and that iconic running theme. He received critical acclaim for his soundtrack to "Missing".

But I recently downloaded his soundtrack to Ridley Scott's film "1492 - Conquest Of Paradise", and it is quite simply astonishing. I think it's superior to "CoF".

Any opinions?

1. I think I've seen only Blade Runner, but I like "Bounty" and "la petite fille de la mer"

2. Both are very good soundtracks.

I have the entire soundtrack for "Blade Runner", and it's one of my favorites; and I have selections from "The Bounty", also quite good. It seems to convey very well the mystery and danger of the open ocean.

5. Blade Runner for me

I always considered Chariots to be one of his weakest, actually.

I remember buying the soundtrack of the Blade Runner on an LP after I'd first seen the movie at the cinema. I was so excited when I got home and immediately played the track I most wanted to hear: Blade Runner Blues. I was mighty puzzled when the sounds of a fat guy vigorously blowing his nose started coming out of the speakerx.

I looked at the album cover again. It wasn't actually the real soundtrack. It was an orchestral rendition of the score by the New American Orchestra since (as I found out later) Vangelis refused to release it. Blade Runner Blues was played on a Flugelhorn.

It was great when the actual score came out 10 years later. There are also three bootleg versions around which contain tracks that are not on the official releases.
