If I was a millionaire, I'd buy you a tiny little house deep in the alps on top of a 4000 meter mountain equipped with a mind blowing sound system and I would sit next to that house listening to that tune while watching the milky way. Fantastic!
The fact that you name the synths used in the description as well… this is probably the coolest thing I’ve seen in a long time, on a very serious note. I’m not even big on synth music but this is just brilliant and mesmerizing to listen to.
I discovered your Vangelis "cover" work a while ago, but I just have to leave a comment. I must say that "cover" is a dirty word when listening to your sublime work! Your music is not a cover, but a tribute. You are by far the best, if not only person besides Vangelis himself that can produce a sound so close to the original that it is indeed interchangeable like another commenter said. Great work, please keep it up, I keep coming back here to listen. Thank you thank you thank you!
Years later, after I first experienced this, it is still the best, most authentic sounding rendition of one of the best synth tracks every conceived from film.
It's completely amazing to me just how underrated the ESQ-1 is. It's an amazing synth and they only go for around $200! If anybody here is looking to get into to synths, the ESQ-1 is the way to go. The programming can be a bit intimidating at first, but in time you will be making some bad-ass sounds on it.
Wow if I would not have listened to this would never believed that a ESQ1 could nail the sound of a CS 80 , here goes another illusion lol. Great performance by the way, your sound is very close to the original.
I am a synth-player like to be, and not only is the sound you create amazing, but being able to watch you while on this musicle journey for me is exciting to watch! Thanks for posting.
Jarre and Vangelis have been among my favourite musicians/composers since my high school days. Even 20 years later I still get gooseflesh listening to their music. I've seen quite a few covers over the years by other musicians. And only a few of them actually manage to get it right. You sir, are definately one of the few. Good work :)
I bought an ESQ 1 when it first came out. Sold it. Bought another one a few years back to see if I could do a better job at programming it a second time around. Sold that one, too. I never got a patch out of it that sounds this good. I always knew there was more there in that ESQ 1 than I was touching. Great job.
Awesome playing it's just so relaxed and natural sounding, dare I say just like the master himself. I can't believe I sold my esq-1 for £100 about 10 years ago! I want it back now :-(
This is one of the most hypnotic passages in cinema, due to the combination of soundtrack and visuals. This type of atmospheric sound requires the utmost expression and sensitivity. Uncanny how well you've captured it.
Mik, this is hands down one of the Best things you've done! Holy Crap you Nailed this! Must have that ESQ patch! Still can't believe that's an ESQ-1! :O excellent!
It`s not often I use the word awesome but this definitely is !! What a great set up you have and thanks for transporting me back to 1982 when I first saw Blade Runner at the cinema. It would be nice if the film was re released in the cinema for it`s 30th anniversary.
Ok. I surrender. You are the best. This cover is breathtaking! You have a unique talent in finding the right tones... Oh I love the bleeps of the Juno 6!!! ...and the ESQ-1 CS80 brass... incredible. Too bad we live so far... I'd love to jam with you...
Man, awesome! The sounds sound great together, great selection and programming. This is about as close as you can get to the original, I suppose, given the "jamming" nature of the piece. The CS80 sounds are great, they are definately one of the hardest things to nail. Great stuff! :)
May Vangelis be forever remebered in his awesome "off-world" inspiring synths. RIP to a true Maestro. BTW : I'd say this cover is second olny to the original synth by Vangelis himself

GOOD CALL SIR LOVE TO HAVE A BEER WITH YOU IN THIS REALM X
Sign me up for the alpine synth experience - I'll be there 😌
😂😆🤩💪👍
I'm in
I will sympethize and go on in the alps!
He.....plays things...you people wouldn't believe....
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha! This wins.
"My cover? Let me tell you about my cover."
this is why i love synthesizers
The fact that you name the synths used in the description as well… this is probably the coolest thing I’ve seen in a long time, on a very serious note. I’m not even big on synth music but this is just brilliant and mesmerizing to listen to.
You've done a man's job sir.

Same here. This guy is amazing. I heard this years ago when he posted it and I still come back often to give this a listen.
Agree!...perhaps the best. There used to be another great cover of this done by Hansdeckert (or something). It went away...wish I'd saved it.
This is absolutely mind blowing
Stay tuned for the ESQ1 parameters for the cs80 brass:)
Incredible. I closed my eyes and I was in the movie. Very impressive. What a lovely way to start a Sunday morning.
It's completely amazing to me just how underrated the ESQ-1 is. It's an amazing synth and they only go for around $200!

This is still one of my favourite videos on youtube.
Rebecca Schade Thankyou Rebecca! long time ago now...B-)
It was SERIOUSLY impressive.... I felt I was there again... Los Angeles 2019
I know the ESQ pretty well and am impressed with how you have used it here. Well done!
You are so nailing this. There's a lot of people out there playing 100 synths at a time, but this is the real deal.
This is literally one of the most incredible things I have ever seen.
Wow if I would not have listened to this would never believed that a ESQ1 could nail the sound of a CS 80 , here goes another illusion lol. Great performance by the way, your sound is very close to the original.

Freaking amazing. It brings memories of the city, and the entire atmosphere of the movie.
Jarre and Vangelis have been among my favourite musicians/composers since my high school days. Even 20 years later I still get gooseflesh listening to their music.
I've seen quite a few covers over the years by other musicians. And only a few of them actually manage to get it right. You sir, are definately one of the few. Good work :)
FANTASTIC! GREAT OLD SCHOOL BOARDS THERE! GREAT JOB! GREAT PLAYING! GREAT SOUND!
Good lord this gives me goosebumps! As an avid fan of both the movie and Vangelis' work, this is truly inspiring. Thank you for posting this!!
dude you did a very good job with this. the sound and emotion that is felt in the movie is heard in this. very well done.
Excellent! Now I have to watch the movie again. Thank you for your work.
I bought an ESQ 1 when it first came out. Sold it. Bought another one a few years back to see if I could do a better job at programming it a second time around. Sold that one, too. I never got a patch out of it that sounds this good. I always knew there was more there in that ESQ 1 than I was touching. Great job.
I just had to come back & listen to this again.... Very well done & an enjoyable listen without a doubt.... Thanks....
One of the best videos I know of on UA-cam.. this cover is beyond amazing! You sir are an artist
"Do you like our owl?"
"It's artificial?"
"Of course it is."
"It must be expensive."
"Very. I'm Rachel."
"Deckard."
Blush response 🤭
So, I was listening to this while working, and I completely forgot that this wasn't a Blade Runner soundtrack. Well done, sir. Well done.
Top... incredible... The best BSO ever and amazing performance. !!!
Awesome playing it's just so relaxed and natural sounding, dare I say just like the master himself. I can't believe I sold my esq-1 for £100 about 10 years ago! I want it back now :-(
Still brings a tear to my eye. I have no idea why, it just does.
You've really got some nice toys here.
those ain't no toys, boy.
You didn't 'get it'. It was a line from the movie.
That's a good one!
J F Sebastian : toymaker extrordinaire !😔
Man, Vangelis should be proud of you :-) Really great sound and interpretation !
There is harmony in dissonance, excellent job!
Amazing. Can't believe I'm only discovering this now.
This is by far the best cover.
That's wonderful... I am breathless.. I cannot reproduce such a feeling with my arturia cs80v and omnisphere.. I am addicted to your sounds!
This is one of the most hypnotic passages in cinema, due to the combination of soundtrack and visuals. This type of atmospheric sound requires the utmost expression and sensitivity. Uncanny how well you've captured it.
Brilliant how did I miss this one 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Good stuff :) remember watching this video years ago, glad I found it again
This is exceptional, btw. Favourite movie soundtrack and flawlessly replicated.
Wow ! I love atmospheric electronica and you have created an amazing soundscape there, well done :)
This gives me chills down my spine...
Perfect!
fantastic. just... fantastic.
I comeback to this again and again. Your atmospheric cover is amazing. Like an extended version of the song.
Wow! Never thought it would be possible for one person to perform that live. Well done.
Love those CS80 brass sounds!
Great work. Sounds so authentic....
Absolutely beautiful.
Excellent as always. Love the programming on the lead patch and the Juno 106 falling. Thanks for posting this. 5 Stars
Same as when listening to the master himself.. Goosebumps allover. Awesome.
Came back to say: That I've heard a lot of other renditions of this track and yours is so very accurate to the original, it's almost interchangeable.
Very good atmosphere
Great sound and It isn't easy to distinguish yours from the original. Love the film and your music.
Fantastic work recreating a masterpiece!
Mik, this is hands down one of the Best things you've done! Holy Crap you Nailed this! Must have that ESQ patch! Still can't believe that's an ESQ-1! :O excellent!
I could spend my whole saturday watching your clips. They really get to me man. Wow at that ESQ1.
That's a great Vangelis feel . Awesome !
AMAZING! Great cover of an absolute genius composer. Not to mention from one of the greatest films of all time.
that esq1 one is a wonder, hidden gem of a synth
Casi siete minutos inmerso en un fabuloso mundo visual. Cerrando los ojos y dejándome llevar. Enhorabuena, maravilloso.
It`s not often I use the word awesome but this definitely is !! What a great set up you have and thanks for transporting me back to 1982 when I first saw Blade Runner at the cinema. It would be nice if the film was re released in the cinema for it`s 30th anniversary.
Just beautiful!
Ok. I surrender. You are the best.
This cover is breathtaking!
You have a unique talent in finding the right tones...
Oh I love the bleeps of the Juno 6!!!
...and the ESQ-1 CS80 brass... incredible.
Too bad we live so far... I'd love to jam with you...
Just amazing. The best cover on youtube.

Thankyou !! That comes as a great compliment from someone who actually owns a real CS80:)
this is my favorite of all your videos !!!!!!!
Wow! This is a fantastic cover!
Great programming and playing of those classic sounds!!
Dude, you are fantastic.
I'm totally jealous of your talent and skills with old synthesizers.
Keep up your marvellous work.
Man, awesome! The sounds sound great together, great selection and programming. This is about as close as you can get to the original, I suppose, given the "jamming" nature of the piece.
The CS80 sounds are great, they are definately one of the hardest things to nail. Great stuff! :)
Bravo man... BRAVO!!!
Great version.
Gave me chills.
