This video captures a seventies-tastic psychedelic music show, Melody, featuring the music of Vangelis.
The video (from around 1974) features live performances and also what appear to music video-style ‘mimed’ performances. The music includes songs from his Earth album and more.
If you’ve got more information that you can add about the music or the video, leave a comment with the details!
Earth is still one of my favorite Vangelis albums.
it’s so different from his other work and very relaxing to solder too.
how about the “infinity” song
or would that not be age correct?
neat party song
There is another 8-10 minutes of footage to this clip, you can find it on YouTube, search for Vangelis Melody 1974..
This was broadcast on French TV at some point.
Any plugins that can give me that 20 hippy chicks with kettle drums sound? Especially loving the one with pick fluffy top and hat, she’s grooving with it.
or even pink fluffy top.

Ok. This is amazing esp the end piece with the vibes and the way Vangelis utilizes that clavinet but WHAT is that oddball little synth that makes such a beautiful reedy sound? Davolli?
Amazing how he uses these instruments in such a a the time un-contemporary way!
Anyone?
A very brilliant man, and this is a great clip. Love his “Greek psychedelia” phase…

Great video! That ‘little synth’ is a Selmer Clavilone. It is also known as the ‘Telstar’ sound made famous by ‘The Tornados’. It was meant to be an add-on for piano and has a brilliant knee lever for control. Check SOS for a great story about this remarkable instrument: http://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/story-clavioline and listen to Telstar: https://youtu.be/ikDu9BbmCqE
