https://www.theguardian.com/music/2022/may/19/vangelis-greek-composer-chariots-of-fire-blade-runner-dies" rel="nofollow - Evángelos Papathanassíou, better known as Vangelis, a pioneer of progressive and popular electronic music and composer for Blade Runner, Chariots Of Fire and many other motion pictures, died two days ago in a French hospital today while receiving treatment for Covid-19. He was 79 years old. "Alpha" was the first song I remember to ever make me cry because of how beautiful it was, and in searching for it (knowing only the name of the artist) a family member gave me a copy of the album Oceanic, the first CD I ever got. I feel rotten for giving his last album such a negative review, so I'll instead encourage everyone to listen to the one song which I really liked from it: ------------- https://mirasnelder.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow - Freelance composer, accepting commissions | https://mirasnelder.bandcamp.com/album/altered-acuity" rel="nofollow - Bandcamp page |

What a great loss! ------------- Amos Goldberg (professor of Genocide Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem): Yes, it's genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion. |
