Yeah that's a good question. Nice selection of albums btw. I will have to check out Oceanic and Direct

Let's see if I can narrow it down to ten. This will not be easy...

1. Albedo 0.39
2. Soil Festivities
3. Direct
4. L'Apocalypse des Animaux
5. Heaven and Hell
6. Blade Runner
7. Spiral
8. Juno to Jupiter 
9. Rosetta
10. Opera Sauvage

Very tough. I'd love to somehow squeeze in Beaubourg and The City (a seriously underrated release), but the other ten = essential Vangelis.

Juno to Jupiter is incredible!

Really? There are so many ideas there it almost sounds like a sampler album! I've loved it since '88. "Elsewhere" and "Rotation's Logic" are fantastic. "Elsewhere" could even fit on Spiral. I listened to Direct yesterday and had to repeat some of the tracks because I like them so much. Unlike Optical Race, I think Direct has almost no filler (and that's debatable, since I don't mind "Intergalactic Radio Station").

Now I'm listening to China and thinking I may have to swap out Rosetta.

Be honest: Who of you would take "Beaubourg" along on this island?

Hi,

I would. 

In actuality, I would take ALL OF IT, instead of a select few, as there are many things worth enjoying in each and every album going back to the very first, and the many soundtracks!
But you're only allowed to choose 10. It's a Vangelis-themed survivalist game. You got your blanket, a knife, a water bottle, your sense of humour... and a select few more things. Now choose your ten Vangelis-albums and off to your desert island you go.

He only does sneering rather than top tens. Of course a lot of people love Beaubourg and posted as such but we are just not worthy Embarrassed
Yes I know, but I'm pretending that I don't:)
