** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzSJyRet4HI "100 Metres"]] from ''Film/ChariotsOfFire'' is a tense and even eerie piece reminiscent of György Ligeti.

* SongAssociation: In Argentina, Torneos y Competencias used Film/BladeRunner's "End Titles" for their programs, especially the early years of ''Fútbol de Primera'', so it became synonymous with UsefulNotes/AssociationFootball programs there.

** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLgUOiZUbTk opening theme]] from ''Film/TheBounty'', taken out of context, could very well be the most beautiful slasher theme ever composed.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MKfjD3utKI "Suffocation"]], a [[EpicRocking nine minute long]] Music/{{Kraftwerk}}-esque piece from the album ''See You Later'' inspired by the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seveso_disaster Seveso disaster]]. With the frantic synth brass and megaphone announcements in the first half and eerie low notes in the second half, it perfectly captures the feeling of being witness to a horrific industrial accident. Even the name of the piece is terrifying!
** The title track from ''Invisible Connections'' is a dark and spooky piece, full of ominous, echo-laden, heavily treated percussion sounds. It has an extremely unsettling aura even though it could be classified as being essentially {{ambient}} in nature. The rest of the album is pretty much more of the same, mixing acoustics with electronics in order to produce a dreary, almost purely ambient soundscape.
** Many of the artist's more experimental tracks qualify, including parts of ''Hypothesis'' and ''Beaubourg'', due to all the weird and unnerving sounds they contain.

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: In Germany (which has got its own vast ElectronicMusic scene that usually overshadows all imports), "Conquest Of Paradise", the single release from the ''Film/FourteenNinetyTwoConquestOfParadise'' soundtrack, became a huge hit--not for its sound, though, and even less due to the film, but it was chosen by the boxer Henry Maske as his personal theme tune. In fact, most Germans only know this one piece of music by Vangelis, and it was a common occurrence at CD stores for customers to ask the clerks for "that Henry Maske song".

* ArchivePanic: Vangelis' official discography isn't exactly small. But this man has been churning out enough music to fill two or three albums per month for ''decades''. Good luck finding and listening to all that.
