Jon,
I was surprised to see you slam Vangelis so hard in the latest "IDM
TIMES"... and this from the guy that raves (so to speak) over Klaus
Schulze?
My two cents: Vangelis definitely runs hot and cold musically, but I
don't think his music is /quite/ as rancid as you describe it. Even
when his work is a bit fluffy musically, it is amazingly executed from
a production standpoint. As for Klaus, he is also a very talented,
and ground-breaking musician, but I really believe that at best he
is Vangelis' equal. Hmm.. I'm still very surprised that you feel that
way about ole Vangelis... I quite like his work.
Brad.
