Sadly, Vangelis passed away yesterday in France:

Vangelis, the Greek electronic composer who wrote the unforgettable Academy Award-winning score for the film “Chariots of Fire” and music for dozens of other movies, documentaries and TV series, has died at 79.

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and other government officials expressed their condolences Thursday. Greek media reported that Vangelis — born Evangelos Odysseas Papathanassiou — died in a French hospital late Tuesday.

Antarctica was one of his lesser known works. His works were not quite as happy as CAVERNA MAGICA of Andreas W. or as heavy as Arkenstone's-but a timeless mix.
