Finally, someone got wise and noticed the absence of Vangelis' superb soundtracks on CD. Hats off to 'em, as now anyone enamored of Vangelis' work on BLADE RUNNER, THE BOUNTY, or some of his more obscure projects now has reason to rejoice. BLADE RUNNER has since been made available in its entirety, but the taste offered earlier on THEMES did much to sate the senses before the full soundtrack's release.
THEMES is most notable for featuring Vangelis' now-signature theme from CHARIOTS OF FIRE, the main theme from Costa-Gavras' MISSING, and the opening and closing sections from THE BOUNTY. The latter remain some of the composer's most underrated and majestic works. THE BOUNTY's opening theme is a twilight excursion into the unknown hinterlands, with whistling electronics and isolationist synth harnessed to a clanking percussive pattern. The closing theme, a somber mass of deep-ocean synths and yearning rhythms, echoes the film's sacrificial ending. A case study in electronics rendered with intellect.

Like Yanni and Ray Linch or Orbital Its peacefull in a Techno way before Techno was techno. Submitted by a reviewer (Richmond, CA. USA)  Was This Review Helpful? Yes No 1 of 1 found this helpful.
Heaven on 1 album This is the best album you can buy for the money & for the quanity & quality; on one album! Nothing in the entire collection of Vangelis tops this ablum! If you've been around the block with these guys, then this CD is a must for your collection! If you're new to the stage of Vangelis, than this album ought to be your first! Really folks, wether you listen to 'Industrial' to 'Rock', this WILL make you feel anywhere from brillantly sad to death on a dark step, to up lifting and mystic all in one!
5 starts - is a let down, try 10 stars = ********** Submitted by a reviewer (St. Louis, Missouri)  Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
Vangelis? Van-genius! Having already heard just about everything there is by Vangelis it would be hard to say he could do better. I guess I'm eating my own words. He aced this album. This album captures just about every emotion one could feel from music. From the sadness of "Missing" to the victoriousness of "Bladerunner" he captures it all. Plus, he hits everything in between such as the reverent music from "Hymne". If you like New Age Music and you're not a Vangelis fan, you will be after listening to this album!
