Been threatening to find some of his original stuff and listen for a while now, out of curiosity. He would slip in one of his own compositions now and then, but he otherwise synthesized and rearranged pretty much everything he could lay his hands on over about 20 years, Vangelis, Alan Parsons, Mike Oldfield, Jeff Wayne, Jan Hammer, Duran Duran, OMD - the list is endless. Don't understand why anyone would not want the real thing, or how he could do that with impunity to begin with, but apparently he has sold gazillions of "Synthesizer Greatest"'s!! Strange. Anyway - he stopped all that in the late 1990's to concentrate on composing his Universe Symphony which seems to be taking some time to complete. I confess to having one of his CD's somewhere which I acquired inadvertently and that I haven't actually listened to! I didn't mind some of this - guilty pleasure, lol!
(One from a different compilation - I seem to remember that the title is his wife's name backwards, or something like that ... I also kinda like it
