Oh boy, I think you're going to run into some nasty negative-comment trouble for THIS review, Christian. But it is a very accurate one, in my opinion. Outside of the catchy and memorable title cue, there's no point in buying this album.

It's ok. You have to keep the context in mind. For your average score collector ** is fairly accurate, for Vangelis collectors **** is accurate. And it's indeed a fact that Vangelis scores are presented as rearranged albums rather than complete scores. Some may like that, others not. As a Vangelis-album, it's a classic, and that long 21-minute piece is *really* very good, one of the best long suites in his carreer.

I still think Blade Runner is his best score *and* one that could appeal to typical score collectors as well. Closely followed by 1492.
