like Klaus Schulze who died just couple weeks ago, Vangelis has a massive and influential discography. These chaps left us with so much good stuff.

My personal Vangelis faves:

tangy eastern-vibey avant-rock:



little-known synth-led album of moody mysterious incidental movements:



gorgeous vibes here, the angelic vocals sell it:



...and naturally:




i've also got his Heaven & Hell LP but never got round to playing it. gonna now!
 

RIP Roger Angell, 101.

He wrote this, which all Evertonians will understand completely.

"It is foolish and childish, on the face of it, to affiliate ourselves with anything so insignificant and patently contrived and commercially exploitative as a professional sports team. ... What is left out of this calculation, it seems to me, is the business of caring -- caring deeply and passionately, really caring -- which is a capacity or an emotion that has almost gone out of our lives. And so it seems possible that we have come to a time when it no longer matters so much what the caring is about, how frail or foolish is the object of that concern, as long as the feeling itself can be saved. Naivete -- the infantile and ignoble joy that sends a grown man or woman to dancing and shouting with joy in the middle of the night over the haphazardous flight of a distant ball -- seems a small price to pay for such a gift."
