For those who wish there were complete albums of Vangelis' soundtracks as opposed to what arranges for his albums.
Good news for soundtrack fans in general though with this being an isolated score to a major award winning movie. Although, not knowing the logistics, I'm sure it is easier to pay royalties to one man than to an entire orchestra.
Chariots of Fire Blu-Ray will have isolated score

The music of the film is different than the CD, which is a rerecording, I believe.
Chariots has never been one of my favorite Vangelis albums (I have the LP) and I haven't seen the film since its original release but the running men on the beach scene and the moment when one of the main characters falls during the Olympic Games are two musical moments I still remember to this very day.

Oh, stewdog, you're the guy that used to use the avatar of Vangelis wearing a red ball cap, right? My bad. At any rate, the only Vangelis CD that I own is some anniversary edition of CoF.

No worries. Besides being a fan, the reason I'm curious about it was like my original post, it might be good news that a major award winning film will be getting an isolated score, and that could trickle down to other films.
But you remind me, maybe I should dig up that old avatar...

"You're not John Conner, I saw you die, said Kyle". "I was only injured, replied John". "No, your injuries were too severe, you died. Look at you, where are your injuries? You're, you're a Terminator." "Kyle, its still me, yes my body was beyond repair, but my essence is here." He points to his head. "No John". Kyle raised his pulse rifle and aimed it at John but before he could fire, John fired first. Knocked to the ground Kyle looked up at the Terminator in the form of the man he once idolized. All hope was lost. "If you kill me how will you ever be born?" "Thats a good question Kyle, all this time we've focus on Sarah, on John, when had we known the it was you we should have targeted all along." John pointed his rifle at Kyle's face. "The resistance is finished, the battle is won. We the machines are the victors, salvation is ours." Kyle never heard the second shot.

Do orchestra members receive royalties..? Thought they just get a pay check and that's it.

I actually like this film alot and might consider the blu. Even though I don't care much for the music, I am happy they are having an isolated score on this, it's great for it's fans.
I advocate all blu's having isolated scores.

Its a good movie, and a good score. And the famous main theme, that's just a credits theme! Never played during the film.
This is the theme which carries most of the dramatic burden in the film and boy is it a beauty. Its a simplistic theme, but it is stirring and played during the magnificent climax, its unforgettable.
But yeah, this had no business winnning over Indy. I mean how???

Don't like the theme that much. It's too bombastic. I prefer Abraham's Theme which is sad and intimate. It's frigging Blade Runner-ish too!

There is nothing wrong with bombastic. The instruments just are wrong. This worked for Blade Runner, not with these images.

You have no idea how much I disagree with you! It's too victorious for Blade Runner. It's sounds like a national anthem. Jeez!

Dunno but when Eric's Theme plays during the finale at the Olympics, your chest with swell with passion as only sports movies can do to you. It is triumphant.
Guys, give the movie a chance, its a good old fashioned sports movie but very very well done. And like I say, the finale is really stirring.

Well, that's what I meant, poor wording. With these Chariot's images this music doesn't work. In BR it does work

Bad is a word I would never use to describe the movie Chariots of Fire, it's a stirring film that touches the heart. It was a worthy Best Picture winner. Red was expected to win, but I thought it was the least of the 5 best picture nominees, I would have preferred Raiders or On Golden Pond to win, really anything but Reds. The Vangelis theme was played as much as Celine's My Heart will Go On, or like a Bee Gee's song in heat.Is it bad I've never seen this movie?

I just came across this today. I've only heard bits and pieces of the soundtrack once, and they didn't leave much of an impression, except for the awesome theme everyone knows. I've never seen the film though, so I may just pick this up blindly... supposedly it's very good, and it has Ian Holm, plus somewhere in there is Patrick Doyle at the very beginning of his career.
