Vangelis Blade Runner blues -cover (live)

A very happy new year to you all! I never would have tried to cover this, but when I made the cs80 like lead on the juno 6 it was too tempting :) here is a link to a German magazine interview , the settings for the Juno 6 patch are on the last page www.amazona.de/index.php?page=...
also a link to to a warm up while I was getting the right atmosphere to the cover version

This is INSANELY GOOD. You don't have to be a fan of the film, or even Vangelis, to appreciate this note (and nuance) perfect live performance.

[@Iamgudjoe]

Hear, hear

[@mik300z]

A very kind comment, cheers! I don't think vangelis delves into the past , he moves on and looks forward. I guess for us guys who love this music it is quite sad as no-one will ever make this kind of music again. I really enjoyed making this video, it was around christmas a few years ago , I head spent a day preparing the sounds and it was pure joy of playing this piece of beautiful music. Thankyou Vangelis.

[@CP200S]

Wait did you play all the pieces? Thats... just perfect...

[@mrjohnnytoobad]

You played the entire piece live with no multitracking!? Insane. If not note perfect then certainly ‘nuance perfect’, and with a piece like this, that's what counts.

[@ZiddersRooFurry]

@@mrjohnnytoobad Yeah this is all done live with many of the same instruments used to make the originals.

[@abrahamengel5768]

I really need to know how to recreate the lead synth tone. Any tips or tricks you could share?

[@Mazryonh]

This is amazing stuff. You can almost hear the rain from the movie.

[@wizewizard1840]

Still love this 10 years later. :) Just can't stop listening to this after all these years. Thank you so much for this video. ♥

[@mik300z]

That puts a smile on my face, thankyou

[@wizewizard1840]

@@mik300z would be great if you could publish a mp3 version of it without the KZbin compression.

[@plangephace]

Hi. Just wanted to express my appreciation for keeping your videos available. I've been coming back to view your videos for the last 8 years or so -Thank you!

[@mik300z]

Oh , thankyou so much. It is so nice to hear that, yt has changed so much in these years I am glad I still have a space here, and people like you ❣

[@VultureCulture]

Maybe the most authentic sounding version I've heard. Really beautiful.

[@Penfish2k]

This is absolutely, hands-down, the best Vangelis cover on the internet.

[@caplotnik]

I still get goosebumps listening to this. Excellent interpretation!

[@richierichardson5333]

I like this better than the original, it has everything,,, it's absolutely fabulous!" 10 out of 10,

[@joethecounselor]

Deeply enveloping. Lost in my relaxation of the mind and body, only do I here ever feel deeply alone, isolated, and protected, submerged in the sound.

[@n3rd2n3rd]

It's incredible. The timing. I don't even know how this is possible. You must just feel the music on a deep level.

[@edgeofbed]

i have watched this about 50 times..............and NEVER get bored..wish i could do it

[@jjjww975]

This music is better than what's being produced today!

[@slyslaughter5115]

At least what gets any push or exposure. This music is timeless!

[@matttdb]

Listening to this again and it's so hypnotic. Thank you.

[@MyRYLO]

listening again....this is simply brilliant!!!

[@josephrbates]

I’ve been listening to this for at least a decade. Inspiration every time. Thank you.

[@thedonal]

Always a pleasure to come back and listen to. :)

[@Sam_Utah]

Over the years I have come back to this inspired rendition. Just a great listening experience.

[@cyrusjameskhan]

All these sounds will be remembers, with tears on my keyboard... Amazing...

[@slyslaughter5115]

Very VERY VERY nice!! The places this Vangelis tune still takes me are my favorite and you do it up wonderfully!

[@laffingduck08]

Thanks, after retiring I bought my first used synth on eBay without knowing much about keyboards, and now have a Akai Miniak that I enjoy using to creative new sounds. This vid will remain one of my favorites as it is a fantastic listening journey as well as exciting to be able to watch your movements as you play. Thanks for posting and so far I enjoy listening and watching all of your creations.

[@MrKersey]

8 years since you posted this video, I still get back and listen to your wonderful performance. Simply amazing!

[@Joa1717]

You really captured the essence of Vangelis’ music. Well done

[@stephenbrown8018]

It’s 2022 and just as magical. Thank you

[@PITBULLI79]

Amazing cover. Greetings from Greece homeland of Vangelis

[@orsonincharge4879]

Its a shame youtube video compression rapes the sound quality , i imagine this sounds prefect live .

[@szw1337]

Was listening to Vangelis as I often do walking my dog in the rain, then this video randomly popped up. 13 years old and now my favourite cover. Thanks for making this❤

[@synth4ever]

Lovely, just lovely... great interpretation and performance of such a beautiful song, the Juno 6 sounds amazing! Blade Runner and Vangelis' soundtrack are unforgettable... thanks for sharing your performance and homage to these true classics! :)

[@kaimortensen9366]

Fantastic, best Vangelis cover ever! You must really have immersed yourself into the Blade Runner material, gives me shivers down the spine - as any music by Vangelis would do to me....

[@DaveG207]

This is incredible - I was just listening to the original and came to KZbin to see if anyone had managed to cover it..and this is so close it’s insane. Kudos.

[@Frackingcyclon]

thanks for never taking this awesome performance down. well done.

[@forcedadventure]

BLADE RUNNER...........................................PERFECT SOUNDTRACK !!!

[@richierichardson885]

WOW! Perfection. Best cover of BRB I've come across. Well done.

[@patnocat]

I've seen things you wouldn't believe. 57 dislikes!!!! Brilliant . You've done a man's job sir.

[@TheJonathanlewis1000]

Soooooo glad you made this video and posted the Juno setings. It's so close to the CS80... Excellent programming.

[@Synthalog]

Came back -Again. Such a piece of moment man!

[@RS4KING]

Wow. I wish I could do this... sounds amazing.

[@patrickcruz2587]

Press F for Respect. RIP Vangelis

Pure atmosferic, fantastic cover

[@riverwhite8418]

The soundtrack of my life. Masterpiece.

[@Raider2Knight]

So Intoxicating, I love this piece, an amazing work of art, thank you so much

[@Webbula]

I loved this as a kid, it was probably the first soundtrack that pricked my ears up as a child and probably the reason I love music and film so much.

[@tinotrivino]

YOU FEEL THE MUSIC.. and that what really makes you an ARTIST my friend!

[@leschwartz]

Excellent, as great as the CS80 is, this shows that what really matters is the skill of the player.

[@jkruppa]

I could just live inside those high, bell-like flourishes. Beautifully done.

[@tonyaalaniz]

Fantastic cover of probably my favorite song to relax too. Put on the headphones, turn off the world, and for a few minutes just get lost. Bladerunner Blues...gotta love it.

[@GRiMFoX11]

My soul left my body and I could see myself listening to this in the third person! One word....DEEP!

[@blondie7012]

Absolutely stunning!!!!!!!

[@zedster911]

Absolutely stunning....

[@davidpwade44]

It is ridiculous how good this is. Phenomenal

[@richierichardson5333]

This guy is brilliant man, the real deal 👏

[@FellowDrive]

Damn dude, that's really good! You have no idea how calming this song is to me right before I go to bed.

[@StegOo]

Outstanding! I'm sitting in my way to hot room and I got the chills, love it! Thank you so much.

[@mattgamer]

That was amazing. I could spend hours playing that if I were in your studio. Great work, man. Loved every second of it.

[@tyrellc303]

this is my all time favorite track and you hit all the sounds. the emotion as well. thank you

[@steveo1964]

I listen to this cover almost every night, awesome effort m8.

[@peteexxtreme]

Best cover i've ever heard !

[@theevilmrraven]

The very beginning sounds like Antarctica, and then it melts into the Blues we all know and love. Now I can't help thinking of mixing the two themes (and images) together, Blade Runner and Antarctica. Great cover, by the way.

[@crazycatlive]

It has the soul of the music of Vangelis. All your covers are realy good. And it is not easy to cover Vangelis. So the dislikes are just jealous people! Greatings from the Netherlands!

[@triplebacon1]

Just stumbled across this,WOW! astounding well done mik300z. I could not close my mouth, a massive pat on the back;)

[@ChemicalComedown]

You managed to recreate all those sounds so accurately !!! : ) Absolutely amazing work my friend !!! : )

[@FusionFan1991]

Superb, captures the film's atmosphere really well!

[@labyrinth999]

Great ! Great sound, great playing... great work ! Vangelis certainly would be pleased with your cover

[@reniisgod]

Absolutely epic cover

[@viktorsagi6037]

Hello. I love listening Vangelis.This track is so beautiful.Great performance, congratulation,very nice.Thank you.

[@GuitaristPAX]

Memories ... you're talkin' 'bout memories ...

[@anth7354]

Probably the best syfy film, great actors, great music

[@MaXaNoMaLoUs]

My god this is beautiful... ambient, atmospheric. I used to watch Blade runner as a kid, too young to understand it at all, like age 5-8, my mom always showed me her favorite stuff even if I was too young lol this music is definately bringing me back, I need to see it again, I wish AKIRA had this music

[@AdrianJonesAerial]

Wow, this is amazing, there has obviously been a lot of work gone into this. It's fascinating to watch.

[@jprochester]

This is absolutely amazing!

[@garyhaber333]

Gave me chills all over wearing my headphones.

[@pfaprado]

Man this should be shared with the rest of the world. The best cover I've seen for a song...

[@pfaprado]

...still the best cover I've seen for a song, 7 years later...

[@pfaprado]

... still the best cover I've seen for a song, 10 years later...

[@audiomedien]

Thank you again for a wonderful work, gorgeous sounds, memories and great six minutes.

[@ERRORFACE1]

Since I found it I listen it every day (several times of course ) :D Thank you for your effort . Your play is relaxing me every day and I smoke a lot more :)))

You - my friend, have a deep understanding of the theme. Congrats.

[@module19]

Wow, I had to come back and listen again. Wonderfull. Such lovely sounds. Perfect programming. Especially the strings and lead. Thanks Mik. Cheers, Module19

[@dreamingforward]

It's like they had to make a synthesizer for the movie that could produce the depth of sound. Absolutely amazing reproduction. Great job.

[@wallysaruman]

Awesome version, man... makes me want to close my eyes and take the music in... not in a sleepy way... it transports you. Vangelis' music is amazing.

[@allo_es_me_sam]

These moments won't be lost like tears in the rain

[@JoseJibajaGROK]

Good Job, man. This is a great cover and I love this Blade runner's atmosphere
