Doing some shopping today and picked up the Vangelis - Themes LP. It’s a bit hit and miss but a particular highlight is Memories of Green from the Mutiny on Bounty OST, as well as the iconic love theme from the film Bladerunner. Vangelis used a technique of recording all tracks simultaneously on tape, using a device especially manufactured for him which he calls the Direct box.
He explained his customary method of approach in an interview with Music Maker. His technique involved connecting as many keyboards as possible to a control-desk, which in turn are directly connected to the applicable tracks of the multi-trackmachine. The idea was to play as many keyboards as possible at the same time, although im sure he has embraced cubase, logic and protools by now. Anyway, heres the pick of some of the other soundtracks I bought this week that are worth checking out;
John Carpenter - Escape From New York
Donny Hathaway - Come Back Charleston Blue
Giorgio Moroder - Scarface
Bernard Herrman -Taxi Driver
Cerrone - Brigade mondaine
