The atmosphere that Vangelis creates is extraordinary, the oriental sounds that speak of a mixture of cultures in a future world where the population is grey and homogeneous. The voice of Demis Roussos contributes to this concept. The Armenian harmonies of this piece are striking.
Inside the Blade Runner "universe", the mixing of different cultures created a lot of "dialects", used by the people on the streets. This song is an example of such phenomena. It passes to the viewer an impression of a foreign, "alien" language. It sounds arabic, but in fact it´s just meaningless fonetics which serves the arrangement, a technique called "wordpainting", used by Vangelis in a lot of his works. Genius ! RIP Vangelis, you are missed already. 😔
Der vor allem durch seine Schlager bekannte ex-Aphrodite's Child-Kollege Demis Roussos zeigt sein Gesangstalent als eine Art Gebetsrufer auf "Tales of the future". Zu Anfang und am Ende des Albums tauchen, ähnlich wie bei "Friends of Mr.Cairo" von Jon und Vangelis, sehr wirkungsvoll eingesetzte Filmstimmen auf.
Cirque du Soleil does the same thing but with French sounding gibberish. I had someone listen to Cirque and they said, um... hey that isn't French. It is just gibberish sounds. Still interested in who sang this. I still watch this movie two or three times a year.
Solo un GENIO como VANGELIS podia componer una melodia (aunque con letra intelegible) transporta al oyente a una estepa desertica o a una noche gatalica inexplorada. QEPD
Honestly, I couldn't immagine Blade Runner without Vangelis.
Yes, such brilliant music, and the giant tv geisha eating a chocolate.
Haunting

RIP Vangelis, a true inspiration and forever a legend 💙💙💙
Agreed ❤️️
Vangelis and Demis should have made an entire album in the style of "Mask". Imagine his voice and that sound. That would have been awesome.

Much like the technique used by the Cocteau Twins vocalist Liz Fraser.
