I'd say that's a hoax. Vangelis' leads have an assurance that comes  
with keyboard mastery as well as a particular logic to his melodies  
even on an off day or less than inspired. This track has a certain  
tentativeness like someone is trying to play their best but who's just  
okay. It lacks any of the uncommon sounds Vangelis turns to over and  
over. It has some inspired by sounds but those are ones anyone could  
easiy find. Also something snuck out of a studio might have an over  
duped sound like it passed through a couple media - like mag film,  
cassette, etc. This just sounds like a home studio recording. Not that  
Vangelis didn't sneak a couple hotel recorded tracks onto his later  
albums as filler (a track of 2 on the regular edition "El Greco" for  
instance), but he was at Nemo during Blade Runner.
