This Week's Playlist #20 - The Vangelis edition
Week #20 - The Vangelis edition
TL;DR: I'm running a weekly newsletter with 5 songs and a short description of it, and a matching Spotify playlist if you want to subscribe.
For the non-Spotify readers, there is a Youtube link for each of the songs on the cover.
Week 20
Another pioneer of electronic music left us this week. So I thought I would pay another tribute newsletter today.
I don’t know that much about Vangelis besides his main soundtracks. Still, I remember as a teenager borrowing a CD of “L’Apocalypse des Animaux” documentary soundtrack from my local library (in the pre-internet era). I listened to it this week, and it was nice to have all the memories coming back.
Hence, this week’s playlist is a selection of instrumental pieces of movie soundtracks in the pure Vangelis style.
Vangelis - La Petite Fille de la Mer
From the documentary "L'Apocalypse des Animaux (1970)"
Max Richter - The Haunted Ocean 4
From the 2008 animation documentary on Sabra and Shatila massacre in Beirut in 1982
From the movie "Lost in Translation"
Alexandre Desplat - Mr Mustafa
From the movie "The Grand Budapest Hotel"
From the movie "Snatch"
Until the next time, Godspeed!
