Vangelis Blade Runner blues -cover (live) 

This is INSANELY GOOD. You don't have to be a fan of the film, or even Vangelis, to appreciate this note (and nuance) perfect live performance.

Still love this 10 years later. :) Just can't stop listening to this after all these years. Thank you so much for this video. ♥

This is amazing stuff. You can almost hear the rain from the movie.

A very kind comment, cheers! I don't think vangelis delves into the past , he moves on and looks forward. I guess for us guys who love this music it is quite sad as no-one will ever make this kind of music again. I really enjoyed making this video, it was around christmas a few years ago , I head spent a day preparing the sounds and it was pure joy of playing this piece of beautiful music. Thankyou Vangelis.

Hi. Just wanted to express my appreciation for keeping your videos available. I've been coming back to view your videos for the last 8 years or so -Thank you!

This is absolutely, hands-down, the best Vangelis cover on the internet.

Maybe the most authentic sounding version I've heard. Really beautiful.

Deeply enveloping. Lost in my relaxation of the mind and body, only do I here ever feel deeply alone, isolated, and protected, submerged in the sound.

It's incredible. The timing. I don't even know how this is possible. You must just feel the music on a deep level.

i have watched this about 50 times..............and NEVER get bored..wish i could do it

This music is better than what's being produced today!

I like this better than the original, it has everything,,, it's absolutely fabulous!" 10 out of 10,

I still get goosebumps listening to this. Excellent interpretation!

I’ve been listening to this for at least a decade. Inspiration every time. Thank you.

Fantastic, best Vangelis cover ever! You must really have immersed yourself into the Blade Runner material, gives me shivers down the spine - as any music by Vangelis would do to me....

8 years since you posted this video, I still get back and listen to your wonderful performance. Simply amazing!

Always a pleasure to come back and listen to. :)

Very VERY VERY nice!! The places this Vangelis tune still takes me are my favorite and you do it up wonderfully!

listening again....this is simply brilliant!!!

Over the years I have come back to this inspired rendition. Just a great listening experience.

Was listening to Vangelis as I often do walking my dog in the rain, then this video randomly popped up. 13 years old and now my favourite cover. Thanks for making this❤

Listening to this again and it's so hypnotic. Thank you.

Amazing cover. Greetings from Greece homeland of Vangelis

Thanks, after retiring I bought my first used synth on eBay without knowing much about keyboards, and now have a Akai Miniak that I enjoy using to creative new sounds. This vid will remain one of my favorites as it is a fantastic listening journey as well as exciting to be able to watch your movements as you play. Thanks for posting and so far I enjoy listening and watching all of your creations.

Best synth player on this track in the world I have ever hurd in my life" I have heard a huge amount of synth players, but this guy' really touches your inner mind body and soul, he is naturally talented' and has the gift that others are trying to achieve, he is so gracefully natural" I would buy all of his sounds',,, IF IT WAS POSSIBLE ? They are All beautifully treasured moments, I really adour' these heart felt moments he creates, ,,,,my respects and admiration man, Richie in Ireland 🇮🇪

You really captured the essence of Vangelis’ music. Well done

Nice to meet you, sometimes I've been watching it about 10 years ago You are also my synth teacher Please continue to play a lot of music Thank you very much.

Lovely, just lovely... great interpretation and performance of such a beautiful song, the Juno 6 sounds amazing! Blade Runner and Vangelis' soundtrack are unforgettable... thanks for sharing your performance and homage to these true classics! :)

Such a wonderful tribute to Vangelis who has left us one week ago :(

All these sounds will be remembers, with tears on my keyboard... Amazing...

I've seen things you wouldn't believe. 57 dislikes!!!! Brilliant . You've done a man's job sir.

Found this again after a long time. Well done, sir. Vibe.

I loved this as a kid, it was probably the first soundtrack that pricked my ears up as a child and probably the reason I love music and film so much.

Soooooo glad you made this video and posted the Juno setings. It's so close to the CS80... Excellent programming.

WOW! Perfection. Best cover of BRB I've come across. Well done.

This film and vangelis music film score was so influential back in the day ! As it is today ! Talent personified ! Thanks so much ; )

You managed to recreate all those sounds so accurately !!! : ) Absolutely amazing work my friend !!! : )

Memories ... you're talkin' 'bout memories ...

This is incredible - I was just listening to the original and came to RU-vid to see if anyone had managed to cover it..and this is so close it’s insane. Kudos.

mik that is truely deep and devastating, fantastic cover keep it going man!

Spot on. A joy to watch as much to listen. I know this song very well, and you nailed it. Beautiful.

Outstanding! I'm sitting in my way to hot room and I got the chills, love it! Thank you so much.

Wow, Mike still the best Vangelis cover on YT, by far! And it´s great to see you back with new music. Thank you!

It’s 2022 and just as magical. Thank you

It's like they had to make a synthesizer for the movie that could produce the depth of sound. Absolutely amazing reproduction. Great job.

Wow. I wish I could do this... sounds amazing.

These moments won't be lost like tears in the rain

It looks like you're on spaceship... that glows on the keyboards and the sounds.... just wow

Man this should be shared with the rest of the world. The best cover I've seen for a song...

film-noir sci-fi at it's best!!! "It's a cold, rainy night. A bagged bottle of scotch in one hand, a freshly fired gun in the other. I had just taken down a 'Skin Job', a replicant,who looks, and acts like us humans. I take out these warriors of space for a living. I am, a Bladerunner." yep, you nailed it!!! great job!!

Wow, this is amazing, there has obviously been a lot of work gone into this. It's fascinating to watch.

The greatest homage to Blade Runner ever!

Just found your video by surprise, it's nice to actually see a live performance with all your keyboards hooked up, I mean, to see how it actually works, I'm a guitarist and so I'm used to a different kind of setup music wise, anyway, I love it!

Fantastic cover of probably my favorite song to relax too. Put on the headphones, turn off the world, and for a few minutes just get lost. Bladerunner Blues...gotta love it.

Hello. I love listening Vangelis.This track is so beautiful.Great performance, congratulation,very nice.Thank you.

So Intoxicating, I love this piece, an amazing work of art, thank you so much

It has the soul of the music of Vangelis. All your covers are realy good. And it is not easy to cover Vangelis. So the dislikes are just jealous people! Greatings from the Netherlands!

Blade Runner Blue is my all-time favorite musical composition. I have enjoyed your version. Trust me, praise doesn't get better than that, Mr.Daniels

It is ridiculous how good this is. Phenomenal

Damn dude, that's really good! You have no idea how calming this song is to me right before I go to bed.

My soul left my body and I could see myself listening to this in the third person! One word....DEEP!

The very beginning sounds like Antarctica, and then it melts into the Blues we all know and love. Now I can't help thinking of mixing the two themes (and images) together, Blade Runner and Antarctica. Great cover, by the way.

That was amazing. I could spend hours playing that if I were in your studio. Great work, man. Loved every second of it.

thanks for never taking this awesome performance down. well done.

Great ! Great sound, great playing... great work ! Vangelis certainly would be pleased with your cover

cannot say it enough..........AWESOME......great to see it actually being played...already on my fav list!

Whoa! You even got the lighting right! Who's your roommate? Douglas Trumbull?!

How can 13 people not like this? BTW, I love how your description makes it sound accidental you came across settings that made you say, "Oh well, I guess I oughta go ahead and play it then!" You've clearly practiced tons and learned this well. Thanks! It was dreamy to listen to.

Excellent, as great as the CS80 is, this shows that what really matters is the skill of the player.

Awesome version, man... makes me want to close my eyes and take the music in... not in a sleepy way... it transports you. Vangelis' music is amazing.

Fantastic! I love your version of one of my favourite Blade Runner tracks, very impressive.

Probably the best syfy film, great actors, great music

Amazing, blade runner is a long lasting classic scifi film and the music is part of what makes this film so, without Vangelis music it would not of been the same. Your rendition is to me just as good, well done!

Press F for Respect. RIP Vangelis

YOU FEEL THE MUSIC.. and that what really makes you an ARTIST my friend!

To this day, Mike's BladeRunner cover is simply not just the best, but the most accurate to the originals sound. Dunno if each instrument is the exact same, but the sound produced is, in every way.

If Vangelis can't come back you better get hired for Blade Runner 2

Delicious!

I love watching good craftmanship. You, my friend, are a true craftsman. Excellent.

Its a shame youtube video compression rapes the sound quality , i imagine this sounds prefect live .

I must have watched Bladerunner over 1000 times! The first time on a troop ship on the way to the Falklands on a PROJECTOR with proper rolls of film! We had a tiny onboard ‘theatre’ Totally AWESOME! Dekard B-263-54 signing off!

Do you like our owl?

Since I found it I listen it every day (several times of course ) :D Thank you for your effort . Your play is relaxing me every day and I smoke a lot more :)))

Gave me chills all over wearing my headphones.

Albeit not 100% a copy, specifically the lead sound (yet it is quite good!) your track/ cover captures the original mood very well. Reading the so well- known dialogue lines in the responses down below I almost have tears, such a great movie. Such a great soundtrack!

I love this in original, I love your version, is masterpeace! Man! Make some album!

My god this is beautiful... ambient, atmospheric. I used to watch Blade runner as a kid, too young to understand it at all, like age 5-8, my mom always showed me her favorite stuff even if I was too young lol this music is definately bringing me back, I need to see it again, I wish AKIRA had this music

As an admirer of both Vangelis and Blade Runner, I want to say that your work is excellent. I think Vangelis would be honoured that you imitate his music so well.

Man outstanding. Made my night. You get it!, maybe more than any of us. Thank you.

Came back -Again. Such a piece of moment man!

Vangelis is a genius. Blade Runner is one of the best films.

Wow, I had to come back and listen again. Wonderfull. Such lovely sounds. Perfect programming. Especially the strings and lead. Thanks Mik. Cheers, Module19

This guy is brilliant man, the real deal 👏

The soundtrack of my life. Masterpiece.

BLADE RUNNER...........................................PERFECT SOUNDTRACK !!!

This is art. They should get you to compose the score for the next movie.

haha.. this is sooooooo amazing! Love it. You nailed the sounds and the atmosphere.

blooody hell m8 i commented 3 freaking years ago and I am still here qualityyyy

Back here….listening again.

I listen to this cover almost every night, awesome effort m8.
