    "“I've seen things you people wouldn't believe ... .
    Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion.
    I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate.
    All those moments will be lost in time ...
    ... like tears in rain."
    If there was any quote, that moved me, it was this one, by the great Rutger Hauer (Roy Batty).
    And know ... this was pure improvisation ... .
    What an actor he was, Rutger Hauer ... .

      i was telling a friend earlier tonight how i felt about Vengelis score, its a flawless creating that transports the audience to a dystopian environment that makes you not only feel it, but smell it, and listen to it. The background Ambient urban sounds, people, cars, etc then Vangelis creates what I'm my firm die hard film score lover understands,
      Vangelis created the perfect confluence of all that Phillip K Dick wrote. Vangelis clearly read the book and probably others to understand the dystopian aesthetic PK Dick wrote. And you are paying the highest tribute to its flawless creation. Thank you for sharing your rendition.

      Thanks for your comments! Chariots of Fire was my first exposure to Vangelis, and I used to go to sleep to the album and love it deeply. Five Circles was my first Vangelis cover, and I have always been curious why it is my least popular Vangelis cover when I love the music so much. I guess I have not done Chariots of Fire partly because it is so iconic and perfect, and I think it may be hard to get close to that. It's been covered by so many, and they are never half as good. There also is a video of Vangelis playing it; ...some of what I try to do is give people the opportunity to see some of these great works being performed. Do you think I should do it?

    Hi Tarus, as always true, absolute perfection, and grace. I used to put this on at night, and simultaneously played a separate CD with rain along with candle light, incense and a profound sense of peace. It transports us to a realm of peace and tranquility that is ethereal. I am a die hard Blade Runner fan, and Vangelis as well. Pretty sure this is the best soundtrack Vangelis ever did. There's a sadness yet soothing feeling woven into the fabric of this composition. What's a bit distressing is there are only 1.8 K subscribers. No words can convey how much I appreciate you're gift to us with keeping this compelling and timeless art alive. When an artist creates a work of art, and gifts it to you, then it become Priceless. Thank you so much for keeping this art alive! I love every video on your channel! You really are so awesome and gracious!

      Thanks so much! I remember a philosophy professor talking about how we can sit at the feet of the masters and have a conversation with them when we read and analyze their writings. I had that feeling at times as I analyzed and worked on this. For example, when you slow some of the fast runs way down, you can hear a slight difference in speed on a few notes which strongly suggested which fingerings he must have used. When I noticed that, I changed my fingering!... and felt like I was interacting with the great man.

      Чайковский, пожалуй, мой любимый классический композитор. Когда я рос, я любил играть на валторне прекрасную тему «Лебединое озеро» из «Лебединого озера». Моя дочь (из видеоклипа Рэйчел) выступала в «Щелкунчике» как минимум пятнадцать раз, так что я видел его как минимум столько же раз. Мне нравится версия «Ромео и Джульетты» из «Черной луны» Эмерсона, Лейка и Палмера. Я также видел Переворот 1812 года в исполнении настоящих пушек!

    Playing 3 keyboards at the same time and it still sounds good
    I love the jazzy feel to it, even though there were some timings that were not 1:1 to the original song, I feel that is what makes this piece feel more original, another reason I love this cover is that the synth is a lot punchier than the smoother one in the film, feels like a 90s video game soundtrack

      Thanks for your comments! You may enjoy my "Making Of" video about the sounds. You need at least four sounds, but I have the Montage split so that I can do both the bass and electric piano there. And then, as I discuss in "Sounds of Blade Runner," Vangelis did a lot of layering with strings during this period, which I try to replicate by using multiple instruments via MIDI.

For several weeks, the Hydrasynth was winning, and I assumed that I would play it on it (which would have been handier at the end). But eventually the Rev2 caught up and did a far better job. I guess sometimes analog is better for analog.

      @@TaurusTarkus There are a number of good tracks you could explore and see which one's resonate most with you. I think the following are solid choices: "JOI" "Tears in the Rain" "Mesa" "All the Best Memories Were Hers" "Rain."
      You'll find that none of these tracks reach quite the same heights as the original Vangelis score in my opinion, however they are still great and worth exploring. Also, if you consider covering some, you'll have some room for creativity because many of the tracks (like "Mesa") have a beautiful part but taper off to music for the context of the film. So you could splice the good parts and extrapolate should you wish. Happy listening :)
