MOTM

I'm a big Vangelis fan, too, ever since "Cosmos" was on 20 years ago. 

My tastes in Vangelis have changed over the years, though. I was 
originally attracted to his music because a lot of it is very 
melodic. Now, some of his more "difficult" music I find a lot more 
interesting. Opera Sauvage is probably my favorite album. Albedo 0.39 
has some great cuts on it, especially Nucleogenesis. "666", an album 
by the band he was in before he went solo, is a great prog-rock 
concept album, too.
