Vangelis – Spiral

Some time ago, I thought that Vangelis only made epic music in the style of Chariots of Fire and Mythodea, good music but bordering the kitsch, especially Mythodea! I suppose Vangelis must have missed Greece with all his time in the US and has therefore fallen into the trap of over-romanticising the homeland, like many expats understandably do.

His earlier work though, as I discovered from watching Carl Sagan’s Cosmos, is something else entirely. This is fantastic music. That and his work with Aphrodite’s Child… What do you know! I recommend you find and download his album of the same name, which is like a Best Of collection of his earlier work from the ’70s.

Instruments of Robot Repair FTW!

No idea what the concept is (apart from “let’s sample aaaall of our musical instruments in a single montage — how neat!”), but I still like it! It’s addictive, actually.

While we’re at it… (no, I haven’t completed Portal 2’s co-op yet*hi-fives Mordread*… still addicted to this track from the OST though!)
