This is from the soundtrack of the 1982 film The Year of Living Dangerously... I was still a teenager vivere pericolosamente when this movie premièred... that was a very, very good year... I still play this on my piano— somewhat wistfully these days... very few people know what I'm playing... sigh... love it... |

It seems there are users in RP Station that behave as agitators and destructive; and poor education and lack of respect; frustation repressed? infantis behaviour? Bizarre situations? are a genuine obstacle and nuisance to who frequents the RP Station with interest the positive aspects and seriously; should in future there by the administrator a default filter good habits and customs that avoids this type of abuse. These situations "gratuitous-pure-exhibitionism" telling should be given warning, and if they are not binding, must be banned. |

It's actually from an 80s film (The Year of Living Dangerously) that is quite good. MAY have been a montage or two in it. |

Vangelis is a great composer within his genre but the production / soundscape is often quite poor.
Sad to say it but cheap covers of Vangelis music is often better produced (except 1492 - conquest of paradise)
I usually don't like remakes by the same artist ( Jarre, Oldfield etc) that often is made as a middle age crisis but I would like to hear old Vangelis tunes with new bombastic atmosphearic sounds.

Yeah, but they never included it on the damn soundtrack! I went out and bought it after seeing the film because of this piece and was very disappointed. Still, 23 years later or whatever it was, and out of context, I can see why people aren't impressed. It's amazing how many early 80s movies replay badly due to cheesy synth soundtracks. (Chariots of Fire anyone?) |

Love is a burning thing
and it makes a firery ring
bound by wild desire
I fell in to a ring of fire...
I fell in to a burning ring of fire
I went down,down,down
and the flames went higher.
And it burns,burns,burns
the ring of fire
the ring of fire.
The taste of love is sweet
when hearts like our's meet
I fell for you like a child
oh, but the fire went wild..
I fell in to a burning ring of fire.....

I'm not sure I'd want to listen to the rest of the CD, but this is a nice little interlude.

I once used this as the music bed for a commercial. I still don't think it's worthy of being much more than that.
