Yamaha CS80

I guess I would agree that this couldn't be Vangelis and if it's only for the simple fact that if this were a Blade Runner Vangelis track it would have been discovered a long time ago, just look at the number of bootlegs that are around.

The track itself however at least to my ears does have a certain Blade Runner feel to it.

As for the CS-sounds in there, to me it sounds like the real CS-80 and not the 80V.
