Sad news of Vangelis's passing. One of the most esteemed and long-standing figures of electronic music, creator of some of its best pieces, with carrier spanning close to six decades, at several points he had tremendous commercial success in every part of the world. To honour his memory I'd like to offer an overview of his (sometimes quite stunning) chart action.

Or if I wanted it searchable...
My uncle was the person who introduced me to the joys of Vangelis and CHARIOTS OF FIRE is often an earworm in my world.

Hi Adelaide! "Chariots of fire" is one of a kind, certainly. Vangelis seems to have been able to create such wide-reaching work once a decade (in 1990s it was "Conquest of paradise"). There's something magical about it, for sure.
