Vangelis - Rahman - Erasure

• Vangelis – One of the greatest composers of all time.Our Master A.R.Rahman is a big fan of Vangelis.Me too…

• I have heard all soundtracks from Vangelis’ Missing (released in the year 1982).But “Little Prince Love theme” from the movie “Missing” is simply superb.Its my pick from the movie.I enjoyed a lot hearing this beautiful piece.Thanks to Vangelis.

• I happened to hear the same piece in a Tamil song.It may be an illusion.

• “Kalloori” song from “Ninaithale Inikkum(2009)” sounds somewhat similar to Vangelis’ “Little Prince Love theme”.What do you think guys?

• Listen to the song “Kalloori” from Ninaithale Inikkum here.

• Here is the soundtrack “Little Prince Love theme” from Missing.

• There is one more version for the above soundtrack.I can’t find that in Internet.Its very close to the Kallori song from Ninaithale Inikkum.

• The soundtrack “Little Prince Love theme” from Missing sometimes reminds me of “The Journey Home” from Bombay Dreams composed by our Master A.R.Rahman which in turn reminds me of “Oh L’amour” by Erasure.Musical Illusion?

• Listen to “The Journey Home” from Bombay Dreams here.

• Here is the song “Oh L’amour” by Erasure.

• Here is the soundtrack “Missing” with Nana Mouskour’s voice.

• There is one more version for the above soundtrack.I can’t find that in Internet.Its very close to “The Journey Home” song from Bombay Dreams.
