5 Hours of Vangelis inspired music with plenty of references to the beloved music of BLADE RUNNER. When Vangelis died on 17 May 2022 (aged 79), it hit harder than I could have imagined. Coming only weeks after the death of Klaus Schulze, I found myself in a fug of unproductive thoughts about mortality and what we really leave behind when we depart. It’s probably my age. I was thrown a lifeline by @KidNarco over on Twitter who DMd me to say, “Vangelis tribute compilation? I appear to be ready.” I slept on it and in the cold light of day I realised that it had to be done. For Vangelis, for me, for Kid Narco. For all of us. I went back to him. “I’ve been thinking that this is a pretty fucking great idea.” I told him. It was on.So the call went out and as happened with my previous compilation adventure, “The Isolation Tapes” I was inundated with music of astounding range and quality. And quantity. It took me too long to realise that the magic in this one would be greatly diminished by taking a tiny selection of the tracks, constrained as we would be by the length of the sides of a vinyl album. As the project is essentially to raise money for The Trussell Trust, I also ruled out double albums, triple albums and box sets as being too expensive. Eventually.

The whole process has been pretty slow, but the time taken is rewarded in this brilliant collection. Not everything made it through, but this final selection of music inspired by the great man is a wonderful thing. It’s great that we got representations of music from across his vast range of styles, but when compiling, I tried to select things which caught his essence. That indefinable thing that always made a Vangelis track a Vangelis track – that’s what I went went looking for. I think I found it. And now you have too.
