$5 MP3 Album Deal: Vangelis ‘Opera Sauvage’

This month, the Vangelis album Opéra Sauvage is on sale for only $5 in MP3 format.

Greek musician Evangelos Papathanassiou made a name for himself as a pioneer in electronic music before there was even a name for it, under his stage name Vangelis. But most film fans know him as the composer of scores for Chariots of Fire, Blade Runner, 1492: Conquest of Paradise, and Alexander. 1979’s Opéra Sauvage is itself a film score for a French nature documentary, and Vangelis’ swirling improvisational synths simultaneously evoke the majesty and tranquility of the natural world.

If “L’Enfant”‘s 7/4 time signature sounds familiar, it was the inspiration for the iconic Chariots of Fire theme he would later compose. The bluesy, 12 1/2-minute “Rêve” sounds like something sexy astronauts would get their swerve on to. And “Hymne”‘s regal insistence demands you bow down in fealty to it. In short, Opéra Sauvage, like most of Vangelis’ work, masterfully blends a classical sensibility with effortless electronic execution.

Browse all 1,000 albums on sale this month for only $5 each, as well as several albums on sale this week for only $2.99 each.
