"The Bounty" by Vangelis (cover)

[@Sploooks]

This guy deserves way more credit than he gets

[@tonydoherty2190]

Unfortunately hes good only crap music and artists sell these days so that's what they will sign it's a crazy world

[@module19]

I think this is my favorite Vangelis Cover video on you tube. Superb sound programming, effects and playing.. and your timing is so perfect.... :-)

[@Boulotaur2025]

I'm crying. This is so good. Brings back a lot of memories. There is a real niche of people who miss Vangelis sound from the early 80's. You could record that and sell it. That would work, I'm sure. The master himself is too old to get back at it so... you know...

[@floris1200]

Man I Love this track so much !!! Great Work !!!

[@Lasselkv28]

This is by far the absolute best cover version. Great work

[@Mdroudian]

Dude... this is the best cover of Vangelis I have ever heard. You have a pretty good ear:D Excellent Job 5 STARS!

[@EnvelopeGenerator]

Still amazing! Sounds even better in stereo. Brilliant stuff - can't wait to hear more from you!

[@module19]

Absoulutely beautiful. I do this one myself and can not touch the programming and playing you did on this. Bravo! :-)

[@mik300z]

Thankyou, wish I had spent a bit more time on the chord arrangements, but with comments like yours i'm quite happy with it! Yes, love to hear your music

[@DerathorTV]

Really great work, my friend. I frequently open and listen to this video :) it has become one of my favourites. Thank you.

[@psbmastering]

I can listen to this all day as well! Awesome rendition!

[@jezgomez]

This sounds great! A superb take on my favourite Vangelis song. Really special.

[@bassplayerthebest]

Thank you very much for this moment of dream and meditation. You make it so good!!! 10/10!! Congratulations!! This theme is so beautiful, and it's one of my favourites of Vangelis'music.

[@byte19]

my absolute favorite Vangelis track!!!! it ain't got to be accurate, the essence of it is just amazing!!! well done!!!

[@NorskTorsk]

wtf? THAT WAS INCREDIBLE! Stereo and everything. First guy who actually sounded like Vangelis.

[@mik300z]

Yes, there are 2 bass tracks, the Microkorg does the pulsating one, and the Juno 6 makes a deep growl

[@Andronicus2007]

Amazing! I think that its good that its not exactly the same as the original, your version has its own character. I'd say this is as good as the original, I was quite amazed that you really got the vibe and sounds exactly right. Vangelis himself would be pleased with this! Sounds a whole lot better in stereo, exellent mix. Proves us at home guys dont need mastering engineers, doesnt it? I do similar music, will upload when I figure out the technology of it all!

[@Sikosh]

Absolutely amazing videos.. this is a stunning track and you've absoultely done it justice. Look forward to more videos :)

[@itsjustnopinionok]

That 80's sound. Love it.

[@SteelskinDMC]

Absolutely brilliant! Incredible cover of an oft-overlooked Vangelis masterpiece. I actually prefer your cover in certain areas, as it's a little more dreamy. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with the world and keep up the skills!

[@SladjanSindjelic]

Great job dude. U rock,. this i one of my favorite tunes from Vangelis.

[@CleverDjembe]

Dude I get chills every time I listen to this. Please consider uploading these covers you do in higher quality audio files somewhere.

[@fabiendyleinski7407]

great job !!! this sound the bounty is just amazing pure beauty!!

[@srmedias]

very powerful sounds ! great work :)

[@annengmail32]

I love this transfer from Vangelis Blade Runner blues -cover (live) to this musical clip.

[@paolloo]

This sounds much better than the original! Sounds natural and analogue, especially the chorus and swirling vinyl sounds 100% analogue. Want to hear more.

[@mik300z]

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks!! they sound like cool speakers hooked to your pc

[@Gusakov]

It sounds wonderfully! Thanks .. *****

[@darko4402]

The Best of Vangelis... Buen trabajo 🖤

[@templarseries]

Love Vangelis. Interesting listening to cover versions,using different synths.

[@baardk2]

AMASING! I know its a cover, but still its so perfect! Great jobb :)

[@UlrichSaukel]

the best cover so far on you tube! Awesome

[@jcarlosallo]

This is absolutely brilliant!

[@mik300z]

Thankyou , I think i've heard part of the track you are referring to, but I don't have the the OST bootleg album. I still live in hope Vangelis will officially release it some day!

[@innosanto]

As many orchestras play the acoustic symphonic repertoire, why not many synthesizer players and electronic orchestras play the electronic repertoire? Very good, very well done. I would pay to go to an Odeon and watch live such a show with many tracks in this type of repertoire.

[@mik300z]

Well spotted, yes the Juno G is superb for certain sounds but using it in multitimbral mode is a nightmare, midi can be a real pain at times. The real star of this track is the juno 6 which can be heard almost as an undertone doing the rich bassline. It really finished off the track and can be through the mix with very little tweaking

[@TheKonga88]

Love the percussion on this too.. So much going on..

[@43nostromo]

This is not entirely accurate, but I think it's an amazing job. I have KZbin on autoplay and then this came on and woke me up. It's darker and more rich. Deeper sounding than the original. Awesome.

[@mik300z]

Thanks! Guess your partly responsible for me trying it in the first place because of your great video that I keep going back to!

[@mik300z]

thanks again, this was in the good old days when youtube allowed stereo uploads

[@MrKersey]

Great performance, almost like Vangelis live! Keep up with the good work!

[@mik300z]

Hi, I used some compression on the overall mix, but apart from that it's just the synths running through an ordinary mixer using reverb on some patches. Glad you like it, cheers!

[@MSM4U2POM]

Very, very good indeed. It isn't often that I enjoy these home-brews, but this is a notable exception. Absolutely tremendous.

[@growla666]

Mik, I have to say as a fan of Vangelis since the mid 80s this is a truly superb cover of one of my fav vangelis pieces. I have heard this track literally hunfreds of times and never get bored. Seeing you play this is inspired me to get a midi keybaord and Logic for my Mac and start learing for myself. Ok I'm probably never going to reach your level but what a FANTASTIC cover. I even listen to it in the background over the original! If you have an other vangelis covers PLEASE post em. Brilliant!

[@wheeldo]

Better than I could have ever imagined... this is incredible.

[@crebegea]

10 years on and still nothing like it anywhere.

[@999MichaelMyers999]

I can listen to this all day!

[@ElectricSparq]

Flawless.Such beautiful music.

[@willswheels283]

What a masterpiece, it certainly does the original a justice, I’ve been listening to Vangelis,s music for over 20 years and this blew me away, thank you!

[@BACT911]

I feel the power!!

[@wn186]

Niesamowite! Szczerze mówiąc ta wersja podoba mi się bardziej niż oryginał. Brawo!

[@JupiterSynth]

Great job, awesome cover! Closer to Ed Starink's version which in my humble opinion is even better than the original. Thanks for sharing your work!

[@migueldoliveiracomposer]

Tremendous job. Well done

[@handpuppe]

This is my first comment on any of my (over 100 faforite movies on youtube). Realy realy impressed by it!!! Best cover I ever heard of this song in my life! "Respect"

[@theEMALE33]

What a monster !! perfectly performed bravo

[@zerokomma]

...absolutely marvelous. Kudos, you play wonderful.

[@marciomoraes70]

This is one of my favorite Vangelis songs, the other is "Message" from the album "Direct"... You could do a cover of this song too? Congratulations, very good job!

[@nmarks]

Great to see so many people take an interest in this most compelling of true stories. For anyone interested Bligh's grave is in St Mary Churchyard, Lambeth, London (where he is interred with his wife Elizabeth). I made a pilgrimage to Lambeth last year, and remembering what Bligh might have said, kept a stiff upper lip. Bligh's house at 100 Lambeth Road has railings outside the garden decorated with . . Breadfruit! I can understand Christian's emotions as my own my is Balinese.

[@deanevo800]

Wow! Those beautiful compositions, supported by such lush and fat atmosperics. These are exactly the reasons why I still listen so often to Vangelis. I have read that german interview. It all sounds very familiar. The album "Themes", a personal milestone in musical experience. On of my rare favourites, Abba with Eagle. And not listening to song texts much.

[@mik300z]

Thankyou and greetings! these synths are my personal choice, but to be honest any instrument can emulate Vangelis music, it depends on the person and their state of mind I guess!

[@TheKonga88]

I normally hate these covers because they are usually crap compared to the original, but this is brilliant.. In some parts there sounds like there is more depth than the original.. :-))))

[@ripplesr5655]

True!

[@ccengine]

I absolutely agree! Excellent job!

[@hugodbtx2012]

Agree fully. Mik300z is in my opinion the only one that can reproduce Vangelis' sound. Even more so now since the legend passed away yet lives on through Mik300z

[@mik300z]

It was an official release by off world records. Vangelis did not have any part of it. I have to say I envy you having the real thing with the colour booklet, because it truly is a collectors item. I didn't mean to get your back up, it's just that I have heard some of the tracks from it, and the audio is quite poor in places. As I said it is a collectors item. And becoming very valuable, so hang onto it!! Mick.

[@groover881]

Hi Mick, nicely played, i love those atmospheric tunes, keep up the good work

[@mik300z]

@Gizmoriderful Hi there and thanks:) The Juno G...it is a great sound library, the pianos and other acoustic instruments are superb, the price tag is heavy but you do get the phantom sound engine and a huge library of stuff you think you never need but when you do its there.. The downside is an un-necessary song recorder which I never use,but overall a wonderful tool to have in the box:)

[@jimmy50-74]

Excellent effort! Thank you!

[@LaurentziuRo]

stunning is my favorite soundtrack thanks!

[@lucky1205100]

only one word ... amazing !

[@Lasselkv28]

Outstanding peace of work mik300z

[@aniioska]

So stunning :)

[@jimtzikis]

[@quinnMAD1]

[@amonrahorusseth]

Great Vangelis

[@drifter7508]

[@Atolis2008]

Best cover ever!

[@l228spn]

Superb!! well done mate.

[@timjerome8942]

nailed it! bravissimo maestro!

[@CamdenMusicFrance]

Very, very impressive!!!

[@mik300z]

Thankyou for the kind comments

[@vederchi]

What a beautiful piece. It was a great movie also.

[@nitronjected]

great job mik10 on this composition, my boston acoustics speakers truely enjoyed the major synthesizer and so did my ears, might sound corny but these kinds of tunes with serious synthesizer are what get me relaxed when i seek it.

[@mik300z]

cool! Hope you enjoy the Juno, I've lent mine to a friend over christmas, I'm missing it!

[@bernard240vdc]

real nice rendition of this piece by vangelis and makes me think of the real story and drama of this most famous of mutinies in the 1780s

[@EBIInfoTV]

Wunderschöner Sound

[@Spiked90]

Amazing love it!

[@rwrw10]

Very, very excellent work Thank you man

[@ionutzbejan]

Good work, Mike! 1000000000 like!

[@taskmaxter]

Amazing job on this cover

[@vanseventy]

How long did it take to get all the equipment? I bet it took a lot of work to get this old technology!! Great job!!! One of my favorite movies and Soundtracks!!

[@Fixmix78]

You sure, it's not the original CD? Very well done!!

[@ingoodmusic]

It's better

[@jleb22]

This is really wonderful. The best cover I have ever heard of anything by Vangelis...I would like to send you some of my stuff see what you think of it....

[@davidhendrox]

You did great man.

[@SerdarNovak]

Thank you very much Mike :) It's wonderful

[@immortalharneil]

Oh my God dude! This is soooo good!!!!!!1

[@SRDhain]

superb! even better done than the original end of credits theme, which is REALLY sayign something. one of the best vids ive HEARD on youtube! :-D

[@bennethos]

I totally agree with that. I for instance do own a JD-990 with the vintage expansion card. It has the waveforms sampled from the CS80 :-D . You just need the spirit and listen a LOT to Vangelis, trying to get emotianal and stuff helps :-).

[@barkulator]

That was pretty good!
