Originalni Blade Runner je bio još bolji zahvaljujući Vangelisovim skladbama, a Vangelis se zalagao i za istraživanje svemira te je skladao čitav soundtrack za televizijsku seriju Carla Sagana – legendarni Cosmos, napisao je Mythodeu kako bi se proslavila NASA-ina misija Mars Odyssey 2001. godine, a njegov posljednji album je prošlogodišnji Juno to Jupiter, nazvan prema letjelici koja je otkrivala nove detalje o ovom plinovitom, gigantskom planetu.
Epic music befitting an epic journey. Thank you to legendary composer Vangelis for providing the score to so many of the #JunoMission's discoveries at Jupiter.

2003. godine je dobio NASA-inu Public Service medalju.
Rođen je u Grčkoj 1943. godine, punog imena Evangelos Odessey Papathanassiou. Uistinu veliko ime. Karijeru je započeo s pop glazbom, ali je tijekom sedamdesetih zabrazdio u elektroniku. Ostalo je povijest.
Utjecao je na filmsku glazbu, stvaratelje elektronike, a čak i Armin van Buuren, Flying Lotus i El-P (Run The Jewels) ističu Vangelisa kao svog junaka.
words can't describe how influential Vangelis's music has been in my life and especially on "Yasuke". Yall know this one cuts deep. RIP to the legend! https://t.co/5aASJjfPI5

Dear Vangelis,
We will all remember your unique touch and your moving melodies forever.
You & I have always shared the same passion for synthesizers and electronic music since so long…
May you Rest In Peace,
