CHARIOTS OF FIRE (OST)

1. Titles for one of the most striking titles of the VANGELIS era; a rise, a piano arpeggio, electronic cymbals, the gong in the distance, the artist's musical touch; and off we go to go far, further, faster; a flight of violins to magnify a major theme of electronic music and boost the film, who doesn't remember those athletes in long shorts running on the edge of the beach? 2. Five Circles with the contemplative, languid atmosphere, the synth on a solemn organ accompanied by a minimalist bell; the air that instills reflection and meditation, a grandiloquent zest, a tad repetitive that serves the cause well; ah the impression that VANGELIS was blowing into his keyboard keys 3. Abraham's Theme that passes without noticing; haunting, soporific but hypnotic, or the ballad that kills; very simple 4. Eric's Theme returns with this piece with an evangelical sound; church air, majestic; an eloquent march, a divine melancholy air, the thing that makes you vibrate with go. Very demonstrative 5. 100 Meters and musical doubt in less than 2 minutes; a hint of 'Beaubourg', synth sounds that spurt, a mysterious air that would come from space, yes indeed 'Flash'; the gong vibrates in the sidereal space, the drum rolls fall on our anvils with a crash and 6. Jerusalem continues with an Olympian church choir, ah no simply Christian but it's perfect. For once shh listen, it's clear enough like that

7. Chariots of Fire on the second side, did you change the LP? There it is 20mn non-stop, so slow start on wave noises, hey SCHULZE had already experimented; reprise of the theme in watered down with comings and goings in the universe of Evangelos; a piano arpeggio which breathes the central air and allows to escape at the whim of the waves trodden by the athletes; there is a roar, a brisk step, there are bursts of synth which make this piece epic, an ode, an offbeat and crazy musical work with trumpets and drums; the wink to the epic title of 'China' also for its melodic research, for its creation and its musical introspection. you have to wait 12 minutes to have the classical-symphonic flight with bass drums; piano arpeggio break before relaunching the air on typical Evangelical notes, pompous, grandiloquent, airy, eloquent and majestic; between soaring synth notes and velvety piano separated by the wind blowing on the beach, an ode to unrestrained sport, to the cult of the body and keyboards that dare the final musical fireworks. the final wind is still part of the title.
