Podcast episode profile for 89. In loving memory of Vangelis
Vangelis. The man behind Chariots of fire, Conquest of Paradise and the music in Bladerunner has left us. On the 17th of May, he concluded his work leaving it to posterity. DJ Daemon celebrates the man by simply playing songs from tracked music artists that clearly must have been inspired by him.An apologyThis podcast differs from the original broadcast in that the tune \"Syndrom land\" by MAF has been removed. Some listeners took offence as it was out of place in a remembrance program. I apologize for this lapse in judgement and this part of the program has now been remade.
ericade.radio knows the chiptune and demoscene! We're the radio station playing all the best tunes from the most prominent, promising or trending artists in the scene. We also know about the artists and songs as well.

DJ Daemon speaks. We have just been reached by the news that legendary composer Vangelis has passed on. He walked into that good night on the 17th of May 2022. In this hour, we will play music by tracked artists clearly inspired by the man. In many ways they pay tribute to the inspiration he gave to…
Nitzer - Emptiness
DJ Daemon speaks. 59s
Nitzer and Emptiness. Vangelis has been an inspiration for a lot of track music artists. This is clear. The man was born in 1943 in March. He is known professionally as Vangelis or was known and he passed away a few days ago. His real name is Greek and I dare not try to pronounce it.We will talk more about him, but we must go on with the first medley of the day. It's Three Times Lamb of Marshmallow and Farewell Tears, Loneliness and his last one, Memoirs. And the last one in this medley will be Brian and Brian's invention, the number one in D minor.
Lamb of Marsmellow - Farewell tears
Lamb of Marsmellow - Loneliness
Lamb of Marsmellow - Memoirs (vinylmix)
Brian - Brian's invention No. 1 D minor
DJ Daemon speaks. 40s
Sad and heavy chords, but it is a somber day. If you never heard anything by Vangelis, I wonder have you my friend lived under a stone or something? You probably know about Chariots of Fire, because that is his most famous song. It was composed for the Oscar-winning movie Chariots of Fire. And we are going on with emo jerky oddity of nature.
Emujerky - Oddity of Nature
Here's a question for you. Do you think it is possible to use the Amiga to make great orchestral music? Absolutely! It's been done many times. And here's one example. It's BTS and Orchestra 1990. He writes, this tune was made and composed in the first days of October 1990 and it was by BTS.All samples were taken from Roland S50, and Led Farguss in 2019 rated it 8 out of 10 and wrote a very long orchestral composition made in ProTracker, I think.
DJ Daemon speaks. 46s
BTS - Orchestra 1990
DJ Daemon speaks. 57s
He was kind of a secretive man. Yeah, Vangelis. In Wikipedia they write, for an artist of his stature, very little is known about Vangelis personal life and he rarely gave interviews to journalists. But he did say some stuff.and he had kinda turned his back on the lifestyle, the decadent lifestyle of his band days. So he chose not to use alcohol or drugs. Exactly where lived his last years is not known, but we know he's no longer with us. But we have more music just to play for you, so you know how great orchestral synthesizers and the music they produce can be.Next up is Gothur and Conquest of Farrakhan.
Gopher - Conquest of Farakhan
DJ Daemon speaks. 29s
As I stated, that was Gaffer and the song was called Conquest of Farah Khan. Very popular on the mod archive with many 8s, 9s and even more 10s out of 10. So yeah, I can totally get why that is a great song. Not just me thinking that obviously. Going on with Warhawk of Cheetah and Jorgen Dyr.
Warhawk of Cheetah - Jorgandir
DJ Daemon speaks. 54s
Going back to Wikipedia about Vangelis' musical style and composition. They write, The musical style of Vangelis is diverse, although he primarily used electronic music instruments which characterize electronic music. His music has been described as a mixture of electronica, classical, progressive rock, jazz, ambient, avant-garde, experimental and world.Vangelis is sometimes categorized as new age. Yeah. This classification has been disputed. Wikipedia. Original research there. I don't know. Anyway, we're going over Shnu and Sonatina in Eid Major.
SNU - Sonatina In E Major
DJ Daemon speaks. 23s
it's time for the second medley of today. A set of four tunes. It's Edric with Nara and Mara's battle, Yomaru Kasuga with the Swan Lake, and an unknown artist with triology, and finally, Opinache, sweet melody.
Erdrick - Nara and Mara's Battle
Yomaru Kasuga - The Swan Lake
Trackerartist - Triology
Opinash - Sweet melody

Going on with the Corsairs voyage by Goffer and he writes, sit back and relax, I hope you enjoy this, this is the culmination of about a month of trekking. And it sounds depart.
Gopher - The Corsair's Voyage
DJ Daemon speaks. 26s
We haven't forgotten about Jumalauta, the Finnish demo party that went a few weeks ago. Last week I think even. It will be covered in a few weeks, yes. But we are going on with serious two songs. The first one is Love. And this is Flashback, tracks from the past. And I'm DJ D-MOM.
Psirius - Love
DJ Daemon speaks. 36s
It is time to close shop for today. Next week another episode, but I am leaving the studio in a few minutes. Leading you into that good night is serious and utopia. It's not the one from the game that would be another utopia. I'm DJ Daemon and if you want to listen to more podcasts from me, go to Ericade.radio. Yeah, we have a whole radio station there, know. Great.Good night.
