Only yesterday I was listening to his powerful masterpiece concept album Heaven & Hell, from 1975 - in my opinion his best work, and the first album to be recorded at his Nemo Studios in London. I bought this on vinyl in the early 80s and have listened to it regularly (at least a couple of times a year) ever since.

The complete album is on Youtube of course;

A sad day and a great loss to the world of film and modern symphonic music :(

He gave this movie the sound of awe it deserves


And to this movie, a sound of mystic mistery and anxiety it deserves


Thank you for your genious, Βαγγέλης ο Μέγας

He added so much to so many films.

The sadness of this theme, a part of an OST, both often overlooked when remembering his work, is very appropriate for this occasion

I think the owner of the “dicky tickeur” was Monsieur Alfonse (Kenneth Connor).. though I hesitate to contradict a woman of the opposite sex such as yourself! :enamorado:

Mais oui! Yes, after I'd posted that I was thinking I may have muddled two different characters.

The guys over on the Sea Of Tranquility Youtube channel have just released this interesting and moving tribute to Vangelis;
 
Paula Rego - an artist whose work - and life - greatly appeals to me, she expressed the strange, dark undercurrent of female imaginings in paintings that have an unsettling, 'fairy-tale' surface, and often challenged both male and 'respectable' female notions of what women should feel and be:

This article prompted by a retrospective exhibition of her work at Tate Modern last year shows more of her work and tells more of her life and thoughts:
