      To consider to modify sooner or later on all versions: Term "previously unreleased" (on tracks 1,2,8,9,10 ...5 of 14 themes) means they are not compiled from other releases, then this is not exclusively a compilation.

        Track 10 (Closing Titles from The Bounty) is a markedly different mix to that heard in the film, with the prominent drum track and cowbell pushed waaay into the background. Though whether this was an artistic decision, or just a plain mistake is unclear.

          Un ,,best,, al lui Vangelis, care îți va crea o anumită stare, fapt care se întâmplă frecvent prin audiția genului electronic ambiental. Cele mai apreciate piese de până la editarea acestui disc sunt prezente pentru a invada spațiul cu finețea lor. Nefiind un mare fan al genului, am fost totuși pus într-o plăcută ipostază de ascultător, chiar dacă știam toate înregistrările de pe acest vinil. Un disc bun, cu o excelentă calitate a imprimării și o foarte bună prezentare grafică, căruia îi acord nota 8,75.

            This one contains the opening title from the movie Mutiny On The Bounty/The Bounty, which is one of my all time favourite Vangelis tracks of all time. The compilation is worth of this track alone! Sadly the soundtrack itself is not released by this time.

              Stunning collection of some of his best film work. Plus it's a stellar pressing!

                An alternate title for this release could have been "Vangelis' Greatest Hits." In fact, the Japanese title on my Polydor K.K. pressing is "Blade Runner / The Very Best of Vangelis." It does tend to focus on the composer's soundtracks, though, as opposed to his other works.

                At the time this album came out, it was the only official source for the music in Tracks 1 & 8 from the "real" Blade Runner soundtrack, and it also contained one more Blade Runner track (Track 11). That alone made it worth the price at the time. Now it's academic, but this remains today a great introduction to Vangelis' work.

                Another note -- if you have this and enjoy Track 7, I recommend the entire "Antarctica" soundtrack album. Track 7 is an abridged version -- the original track on "Antarctica" runs 7 1/2 minutes. Not to mention a lot of other great music with it -- another Vangelis gem of an album.

                  Dammit, I've been iring Vangelis' work for many years ("Albedo 0.39" is one that's somehow firmly stuck in memory thanks to listening to it over and over while less than sober) that now, reviewing and LISTENING to this compilation, it seems there's an apology overdue - both to myself and Vangelis: Why do I not actually OWN any of his albums?
                  For any anyone wishing to delve into this man's music, this is surely the perfect starting point (despite the track title mistakes).
