It seems to me that we were happier when albedo was 0.39 instead of 0.29, oddly enough

Happy Birthday to Evángelos Odysséas Papathanassíou, electronic musician and composer, popularly known as Vangelis

 

Older fans know the Academy Award winner for his soundtrack to 1981's film "Chariots of Fire", which includes a memorable rendition of "Jerusalem", and to Carl Sagan's "Cosmos" on PBS in late 1980. 

 

 

Vangelis: What I'm Listening To Now

 

In the "tyranny of Greece over Germany", winter is finally getting a proper beating tonight in Michigan so I am enjoying a little light Vangelis over dinner. It transports you to a warmer, more relaxed place which you have been missing for too long but suddenly remember viscerally. This album charted in Europe most popular in Ungarn, followed by Oesterreich, in 1996. Romantics all.
