Story

This is my tribute to maestro Vangelis who sadly passed away a few months ago.
So I took the soundscape of his formidable 1982 soundtrack for Blade Runner and came up with this.
Enjoy =)

So many things going on here with how Marcel layers things. Just listen to those oscillators!

Not only is he masterfully playing on the lead motif, but he breaks it down and then builds it back again, now Vangelis style. Teasing of something just beyond the horizon, leaving you wanting more.

And I do want more than this trailer track with visions of a smokey room with Deckard interviewing Rachael.

Beautiful! Interesting and intelligent phrasing in your solo's. Also a very distinguished mix and master. Very pleasant to the ear!

Goeie Marcel! 😉 *both thumbsup*

I have to ask out of interest and peace of mind for my ears and brain…: Luftrum's Vangelis for Omnisphere?

Very Bladerunner-esque and some gorgeous atmosphere in this one. It takes all the best moments of the original and gives them room to breathe, without losing its feel either.

Another masterpiece of fusion from Marcel's studio. I am a huge fan of Vangelis, and months later I am still depressed by his passing. And, of course, I am a huge fan of SID music, too. And Marcel is the amazing musician who is at the intersection of those two, here masterfully combining the style of Blade Runner Blues with the melodies of Green Beret. Marcel, words cannot express how much I appreciate your remixes, they mean so much to me on so many levels. Thank you!

The sounds of Vangelis should never be forgotten and this is going to keep the stew of awesome sounds that Vangelis invented boiling. You've done a man's job Sir
