Vous les zicos pros des synthés (pas comme moi) je sais pas ce que vous en pensez, mais quand je re-écoute certains albums de Vangelis, du style The City, la BO de Blade Runner ou encore Direct, eh bien je n'ai trouvé personne dans son style qui ait fait mieux, surtout au niveau sonore , je ne parle pas des mélodies ,qui en général sont simples mais accrochent bien l'oreille.
Quand on écoute vraiment bien attentivement ce genre d'albums avec la texture, la complexité, l'originalité et le nombres de sons , moi qui joue modestement du synthé, ca me laisse vraiment admiratif.
Si on compare à du Kitaro ou autres du même style (je ne parle même pas de JMJ, ils ne sont pas dans la même catégorie) eh bien ya pas photo.
Ce gars là est un génie de la création sonore et mélodique.

Plus d'infos sur le documentaire de Oliver Stone, dont la première sera au Festival de Venise.
Sa publication
"I’m proud to finally announce that “Nuclear,” my latest documentary, will premiere at the Venice Film Festival on September 9th. I’ve been working on this for almost two years with the enormous help of Joshua Goldstein, coauthor of “A Bright Future.” By now, I’m sure you know that this is an argument in favor of nuclear energy as the realistic solution to the gulf we now face in the production of clean energy for our continuing existence here on the planet Earth. This is an energy that will not only save the planet but allow us to thrive upon it. And although it’s long regarded in popular culture as dangerous, it is, in fact, far safer than coal, oil, and gas. The documentary, at 1-hour-45-minutes, gets into the details but doesn’t sink into all the petty arguments that the anti-nuclear crowd throws at it. Renewables like wind and solar work to a limited degree, but by now, we should know they don’t come close to fixing the problem alone -- which is why the fossil fuel companies support renewables. Because they inevitably require large amounts of methane gas to ensure their reliability.
I believe this is the greatest story of our time. We must use science and our brains to overcome this ultimate challenge given to us by nature.
We’ll be making the film more and more available on domestic platforms as we get closer to its release."

PRESS RELEASE
André Kuipers' film BEYOND is a tribute to his good friend Vangelis
On October 19, 2023, the film BEYOND, with which astronaut André Kuipers makes his directorial debut, will premiere. This unique musical movie experience shows the infinite beauty of the Earth from space through the eyes of the spacefarer. André dedicates BEYOND to his good friend Vangelis, who passed away in the spring. Until his death, the world-famous Greek musician, composer, songwriter and producer - known for among others famous film scores for Chariots of Fire, Blade Runner, 1492: Conquest of Paradise and Alexander - was musically involved with Kuipers' special film project with great enthusiasm. In BEYOND, image and music connect seamlessly and provide an unprecedented cinema experience for young and old.
The film BEYOND contains no less than 40 different tracks from Vangelis' rich oeuvre. “In the choice of music, I was solely guided by the musical emotion that best loaded the scene,” says Kuipers. The astronaut drew on Vangelis' complete oeuvre that spans six decades. “Vangelis loved the fact that we chose music from the whole spectrum of his works.“
The famous composer was closely involved in the creation of BEYOND. André Kuipers: “The best moment was when he called me after seeing the umpteenth edit. "André, this is fantastic!", he called out on the phone. "I am so very happy, you make my day!" When we reviewed the latest edit at his home, the film was 95% finished. Although unfortunately he can no longer see the end result, I am very happy and grateful that we have come this far together."
Kuipers first became acquainted with Vangelis' music in the documentary series Cosmos: A Personal Voyage by Carl Sagan. As a great fan of Vangelis, the astronaut took his musical work with him on his two space missions. “Listening to the captivating Vangelis sounds as I floated through the space station and looked out made the experience very intense. I would like to share that special feeling with others.”
Onboard the ISS, the astronaut first became personally acquainted with the composer. “ESA and NASA arranged for me to have a live conversation with Vangelis from the space station. He was sitting at his piano in London at the time, playing for me. I took him to the window to look out and see our Earth. It was an unforgettable experience that made a big impression on both of us.” Once back on Earth, the astronaut and the composer met in person. "Ever since we saw each other a few times a year at his home, where the visit often lasted until the early hours," says Kuipers. "Vangelis's fascination with the universe was enormous."
More information about Vangelis' music can be found at http://elsew.com
About the movie
The new film BEYOND is a unique film experience with a special role for Vangelis' music. The soundtrack contains works that are very dear to Kuipers. “Music plays a crucial role in this film experience”, André Kuipers assures. “The audience takes on the role of an astronaut for an extraterrestrial experience. You can't get any closer to my own experience in space.”
BEYOND will premiere in the Netherlands on October 19, 2023. The film is produced by SpacePlays, M&N Media Group with the makers of films such as The New Wilderniss and Wild Amsterdam. M&N Film Distribution will be handling the distribution.
About André Kuipers
The space adventure of medical doctor and astronaut André Kuipers started at the age of twelve when he received science fiction books from his grandmother. He was sure: one day he would view the Earth itself from space. His entire career has been devoted to space travel.
André was selected as an astronaut by ESA in 1998. After years of training, he flew his first mission to the International Space Station in 2004. Mission DELTA lasted eleven days. Much too short, André thought. He wanted nothing more than to go back to space to live and work there for a longer period of time. In December 2011, André left Earth again for a 193 day stay in space, the longest European spaceflight to that date. He regularly appeared in the media to let as many people as possible enjoy his experiences up there. Now he still does that with performances and lectures worldwide. In addition to being a speaker, André is also an ambassador for various charities such as the WWF, the Red Cross and the Emma Children's Hospital. He promotes science and technology among young people as an ambassador of the Technology Pact and is co-initiator of the educational school program SpaceBuzz. André is a member of the Palace Committee, a member of the Supervisory Board of the KNMI and a board member of the international Association of Space Explorers.

Bonjour à vous, fans de Vangelis.
En regardant sur le Net les paroles du morceau "See you later", pour la fin chantée par Jon, je vois avec surprise, sur plusieurs sites, que les paroles sont "living, or not living"...
Vu le contexte et le thème du morceau ("Puisqu'au fond, ce n'est pas si loin d'aller très loin"), je pensais plus qu'il s'agissait plutôt de "leaving, or not leaving"... ce qui se ressemble phonétiquement mais dont la signification est tout autre....
Qu'en pensez-vous ?

Après... "vivre ou ne pas vivre" et "partir (mourir?) ou ne pas partir (ne pas mourir?)" ce n'est pas si loin non plus. A que ça soit "partir" au sens premier? J'avoue que je ne me suis jamais vraiment penché sur le texte. Juste que je trouve cet album superbe et que sa "prise de risque" à l'époque m'a beaucoup plus, avec des chansons parfois bien barrées.
