Happy Birthday to Evangelos Odysseas Papathanassiou, or to keep it simple, Vangelis. Born this day in Greece - in 1943.
If this rare interview is anything to go by, the huge body of his work that we know about is only the tip of the iceberg, and seems likely to remain that way. Apart from his very obvious musical genius, the man is a philosophical luminary; we need more of them. He sees right through all the nonsense - plenty of food for thought - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5K0kiYSStZM.
⦠and because I like it a lot - here's "Islands of the Orient" from Oceanic -
