Spiral was my first taste in Vangelis music. I have just about every CD he made. Also some early stuff with a band he fell out with and had his name removed from all credits later in his career. Fantastic musician and a very very sad loss. Just discovers that Constance Demby is no longer with us either. May they both Rest In Peace.
RIP - many a chilled out evening spent in my mates flat, smoking ‘relaxing tobacco’, listening to the LP ‘China’ - opening track ‘Chung Kuo’ is a masterpiece
I went to that event in the burgeoning dock lands, had to walk miles through the mud of the development and ended up near a VIP balcony with Lady Di amongst the throng (bet she arrived by car). It was supposed to be a grand light and music show in a industrial wasteland which sounded good in theory….but. Either way RIP to a genuine innovator, who had worked with Demis Roussos previously.

I am another who loved his collaborations with Jon Anderson.
Great talent.

Jon Anderson recalling how he met Vangellis - it's worth a listen.
