<Patrick shivers a bit, listening intently as Paul speaks of one of the Holy
Grails of his CD collection>

Paul, are you telling me that you have a CD of the HIGHLANDER soundtrack?
Not the Queen album A KIND OF MAGIC, but the HIGHLANDER soundtrack featuring
Queen's work?

Not the more-or-less recently released score by Michael Kamen, but the
soundtrack to HIGHLANDER?

I wasn't aware that this particular disc had *EVER BEEN MADE*, since I've
been looking for it since 1984 or thereabouts. Saw the movie during the one
week in the US when it was on big screens, promptly went out looking for the
soundtrack album. Checked every two or three days for eight months before
giving up.

I know die-hard Queen fans, fans with connections with Brian May and
company, who have given up on ever seeing that, in any form, let alone on
CD.

If this is what you're telling me, I was wondering if you might *PRIVATELY*
email me with any identifying particulars (label, catalog number, copyright
info), and maybe a scan of the cover so I can at least know what it looks
like.

Many thanks.

Just for the record, Vangelis isn't a "they," it's a "he." That's his
first
name (his family name being something Greek that I can't pronounce, let
alone spell).

I have to say I am quite shocked too (ok maybe VERY shocked!)
I would like also to see some proof that this CD really exists!
Cause never in my life have I seen it, not on LP, CD or tape.

His name is Vangelis Papathanasiou and yes he is Greek (Proud for my
country that made such a great composer :-). For the record also there
are a few more great greek composers like Vasilis Polidouris (The Conan
soundtracks) and of course Yianni. Oh and btw Vangelis had band in the
late 60's early 70's name Aphrodite's Child together with Demmis Roussos
and Loukas Sideras. And he has released also a few albums together with
Jon Anderson of YES (he was supposed to play keyboards for YES but he
never managed to cooparate with band - he said that their musical
philosophy doesn't match. However he became good friends with Anderson
and together they released 3-4 albums.

PS: When I have combat in Shadowrun I always imagine (or have in my CD
playing) some Hard Core or Thrash Metal band.

Sadly, the topic/focus of this is NOT the Shadowrun CD anymore, its' now
turned to the "Highlander Soundtrack", which folks, sorry, doesn't exist that
I can find either.
