◇ image via WikipediaVangelis
Vangelis is a Ambient and Electronic act. Their catalogue also touches K-pop and Progressive rock. Their sound grew out of Dick Morrissey, Jon Anderson, Donna Summer, Quincy Jones and Kathleen Battle. Those roots explain a lot about how Vangelis arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Mike Oldfield, Enigma, Isao Tomita, Jerry Goldsmith and Cliff Martinez, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Kitarō, Music Has the Right to Children, The Stadium Techno Experience, Koto and Invisible Connections, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 47 connections around Vangelis, reaching back through Dick Morrissey and forward to Kitarō.
