The Vangelis unofficial official bootleg thread [lossless and non-lossless]

[whoop]

I don't have access to my CD's so I didn't rip either of these myself. Was lucky enough to find FLAC's online, but not all of them had cue files, which isn't that much help to answer the questions you're asking. (And if the included art actually corresponds to the ripped discs, then none of them were from the CAM releases.)

I'll post all the different versions I have and perhaps you can make some sense of it...

Hi whoop,

This version now includes proper artworks courtesy of Pendor.
Not the same version of the previous upload by dvran anyway.
Thanks to dvran and Pendor for both versions!

[whoop]

What no scan of the actual disc?

Seriously, though -- great find! Thanks to Pendor, dvran, and dadadacicici.

I'm afraid there's no scan of the disc!

Actually this version differs quite a lot from the one uploaded by dvran.
It is way less compressed and more open. The version uploaded by dvran sounds like it was re-edited. A different version on this one anyway.

So grab them both!

I was somehow expecting something less clear when the maker wrote "listenable" but I am really happy with the surprise. Pretty complete too. The more complete will be the man himself licensing his music for a more archival oriented release... which will never happen considering the approach used for Blade Runner matter of fact... so I am the most grateful for his efforts.
Some of the songs are the traditional irish music heard in the movie which makes a nice interlude in between the Vangelis cues... I like that approach.
Everything seem to be right there including the percussion pieces.
If you already have it you should also get this version.
It also includes the front cover now! Not to mention a nice tagged back up for your mp3 players!
I'm afraid I have no(t that much) idea on how to use photo editors but I'll be glad to help with the originals for the covers if anyone is interested to take over on the task!

Thanks a lot to dvran for the latest posts!

Happy Xmas everybody!

It seems Father Christmas had already worked out his magic when I wrote that... It was delivered in my inbox just today!
Full color artwork courtesy of Pendor... or is he indeed Father Christmas?

Whoever did the artwork between the two's gets my sincere thanks... and our Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

[ptpt88]

Thank you very very much! As a vangelis collector I found several albums that i never thought to be able to find in lossless quality. Btw the Megaupload is down since the original owner seems to be charged into a court. If possible, please reupload into mediafire (best one without having restrictions about multiple downloads at the same time), for the sake of archival purposes.

THERE SEEMS TO BE A BIG PROBLEM WITH THE WHOLE FILE SHARING SYSTEM AT THE MOMENT, NOT ONLY MEGAUPLOAD. ALSO FILESONIC AND FILESERVE ARE DELETING HUGE AMOUNT OF FILES BECAUSE OF COPYRIGHTS INFRINGEMENTS. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE WHOLE THING WILL SPREAD TO THE OTHER SERVICE PROVIDERS INCLUDING MEDIAFIRE... AND FROM THERE TO FORUMS AND BLOGS AS WELL PERHAPS.
I'D RATHER WAIT TO SEE HOW THE WHOLE THING TURNS OUT BEFORE RE-UPLOADING THE WHOLE 20 GB'S SHARED TO DATE... BUT GIVEN THE CHANCES WE ARE WITNESSING I THINK WE'D BETTER GO BACK TO THE ED2K NETWORK LIKE IN THE OLD DAYS... OR PRIVATE TRACKERS LIKE DEMONOID... IF THEY PASS UNTOUCHED FROM THE WHOLE AFFAIR...

I APOLOGISE FOR MY PREVIOUS SHARES... BUT DO GRAB EVERYTHING YOU MIGHT GRAB UNTIL IT IS STILL THERE... FOR THE REST WE WILL HAVE TO WORK OUT ANOTHER SOLUTION...

[GreatKenji]

Thank you very much for the expanded score of Alexander! You've just made my day!

[frater_mavros]

OK I came across a blog post referring to and carrying some of the Tegos Tapes.

I think no one posted about it here yet. Apparently Vangelis scored some music for a set of tapes with surgeries for Medical Students back in Greece years ago and it's about 12 hours worth of tapes, the vast majority of it scored by vangelis so the videos of the cases being studied wouldn't be too boring.

I found it here, at the Growing Bin: [Hidden link. Register to see links.]

But it's incomplete. A handful of those 35 links are down. I think each of the links is a standalone download though, but I haven't bothered to download them yet.

Does anyone have this complete?

More information about this amazing trove of undiscovered Vangelis music here: [Hidden link. Register to see links.]

The educational set of tapes costs over €400.

As you guys are discussing Vangelis music, thought this might be of interest.
Again, if anyone has the complete rip of the music, please share. I'd appreciate it.

No, they are all there. Try different mirrors to get the files. Thanks for the tip!

Not all of them are broken. It will take some time to spot the working ones but the content is all there anyway.

[frater_mavros]

Are you sure? I don't see all of it there, there are some links down for me on jdownloader and a couple of mediafire links have bee turned to private. Did you manage to get all of them, dadadacicici?!

Oh I see. WUpload is working again, great.

All files are available...just need to use mirror links (if needed i could upload them all on mediafire)

[zyzz]

All files are currently available, you just have to clicky clicky in the right places. 9h26m24s of music.
