Re: [Mellotronists] Mellotron dominated recordings

I'm 99% sure the Greek did�most of the music, and nicely at that too!

------------------------------------------

I’m glad you said “most” of the music..........

�

You won’t get an argument from me that most of the music from the Cosmos series was Vangelis.

There was one piece in the TV series that stood out and I couldn't find it on any Vangelis album.

I’m not a musician but I have a good ear, and I know Vangelis – and have his stuff as well.

While most people were disco dancing - I spent most of my time at the electronic/”New Age” records bins, sometimes searching until I found what I was looking for - often after hearing just the piece of a track on the radio...

�

The particular sounds I’m referring to are indeed on the Malaysian Pale album because I looked high and low until I found it.

�-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sufficiently interested enough now to pull that vinyl and search for that track...(think “whale sounds” because that’s why I bought this album..."Marouba Bay" caught my eye, or ear .....I'll see if I can dig it up...unless Frank beats me to it.

Better check that out because Vangelis was responsible for all of the Cosmos music that I know of.
I have been a fan of his since before that series aired, own the series and without checking the credits right now I'm 99% sure the Greek did�most of the music, and nicely at that too!

Ypsilon In Malaysian Pale ............

I bought the original vinyl.

I'm talkin '80's here...

Background music...but some of it I actually liked - (the part that was used in the Carl Sagan's Cosmos series on TV)

From what I have heard, there was a remix that butchered the original (OK..I'm sure some of you wondered if it could get any worse)...and that original release fetches some hefty�bucks (aural fecal and all).

I'm not paying 36 cents to find out!
