1. Me

Hard to find anyone who is familiar with his music.

First came to my attention during the first airing of Carl Sagan's "Cosmos" series in the early 1980's

2. For a brief moment

Back when "1492 - Conquest of Paradise" came out.

F.W.I.W. the famous Chariots of Fire openning sequence running along the beach was filmed in my university town (the very finest place in the whole of Scotland).

9. He and Jon Anderson of Yes ...

Did an album together in the late 70's, Olias of Sunhillow, and it was a delightful, atmospheric work of prog rock, showcasing Anderson's composition and vocals and Vangelis's extraordinary synthesiser composition .... I adored that album ....

10. They put out about five albums together!

11. Didn't he do 'Chariots of Fire' or whatever it was called?

I liked it for a while, just because it was truly different. Never did get around to seeing the movie however. The song lost all interest for me when I spotted my dork-from-hell downstairs neighbor, slow running in place, tossing his "hair" with the song turned up full blast. This was when I lived in New Orleans and the whole apartment complex was centered on a common courtyard with the laundry facilities there. I was doing laundry, glanced into his apartment because the music was SO FUCKING LOUD and just about gave myself a hernia from laughing. There were about 8 apartments that shared this courtyard and we were all friends, except for this social cripple. He sold Pepsi, or at least he used to wear the uniform a lot for some reason. We later learned from a brief fling of his that he liked to dress up as a hooker, with full makeup, and get "raped" when he was entertaining his special, and very infrequent, friends.

What the hell was the topic???

12. The problem is poeple only know him from COF. And it

became vulgar. It's the only song I don't listen to from him. Oh, BOF came out the same year I ran a marathon.
