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.
