i am attempting to, er, acquire it as we speak but not enough seeders :(

Blade Runner is good, but it's not even the best Vangelis soundtrack, let alone best in general.

I don't know if I'd say they're better than Blade Runner, but Opera Sauvage and 1492 are at least as good

Opera sauvage is the best, yeah. Antarctica is also there among his best soundtrack work, the main theme especially is the most gorgeous thing he's written.

But obviously the best soundtrack of all time is Geinoh Yamashirogumi's, for Akira.

Tuomas, Tuesday, 11 February 2020 15:41 (four years ago) link

I'd have L'apocalypse des animaux as my favourite of his soundtrack works.

Ngolo Cantwell (Chinaski), Tuesday, 11 February 2020 16:26 (four years ago) link

Création du monde may be the best track he ever recorded

the girl from spirea x (f. hazel), Tuesday, 11 February 2020 16:43 (four years ago) link

Aye, hard to disagree. Kinda partial to The Dragon as well.

Ngolo Cantwell (Chinaski), Tuesday, 11 February 2020 16:49 (four years ago) link

The album or the song from China?

the girl from spirea x (f. hazel), Tuesday, 11 February 2020 16:53 (four years ago) link

The epic banger of a title track off The Dragon. It's kinda kitschy but I love it.

Ngolo Cantwell (Chinaski), Tuesday, 11 February 2020 17:02 (four years ago) link

y'all skip over 'one more kiss, dear', right?

But obviously the best soundtrack of all time is Geinoh Yamashirogumi's, for Akira.

I enjoy 'One More Kiss, Dear' in the spirit in which I think it's intended, a technical exercise in pastiche.

Have we ever had a soundtracks poll?

You and me both.

I have it on now and it's beautiful.

Side thing: did David Dundas nick the main melody from Le singe bleu for the Withnail and I theme?

There was a TV theme song poll, I don't remember a soundtrack poll? Might be fun?

It's from Heaven and Hell, don't remember if that bit is in Part I or Part II. I can check it once I get home.

Tuomas, Tuesday, 18 February 2020 14:47 (four years ago) link

Ok, I checked it, that bit starts playing in Heaven and Hell Part II around 3:15. It's always been one of my favourite parts of that album.

Tuomas, Tuesday, 18 February 2020 14:52 (four years ago) link

What? Never! The segue from One More Kiss, Dear to Blade Runner Blues on the soundtrack is amazing.

the girl from spirea x (f. hazel), Tuesday, 18 February 2020 15:13 (four years ago) link

thanks, Tuomas! not sure how i missed that.

No but we were just talking about doing one in the thread for the latest decade by decade classical music poll, after I was bugging Pom to include Herrmann, Waxman and Rozsa in the 40s one.
