Thumb Bros.'s video: Vangelis - Bladerunner Maestro behind DKC2 water Amateur Duke s favorite tracks

A homage to the late great musician Vangelis (Bladerunner) by Amateur and Duke, with a little preview of how we create content on Thumb Bros. This is not an in-depth take on Vangelis-its more of a little banter-Podcast style, between Amateur and Duke during mic checks. But to not cheapen out on content, we each give our 3 favorite Vangelis songs to close out the video. We hope you enjoy our choices! Amateur is a huge Donkey Kong Country fan, and when first playing DKC2 ice level (Amiss Abyss) he dropped the controller in awe, listening to an awesome but familiar tune, from "Antartica" which David Wise took inspiration from. Duke adds some lore to the song We're Bladerunner nerds, and since it's the 40th anniversary of Bladerunner, we felt it would be nice to do a video for one of our favorite composers, who sadly passed away. Amateur has a soft spot for the iconic one liner from Bladerunner, while Duke chooses some lesser known Bladerunner tracks. As Duke's favorite Vangelis song, he goes a bit outside the mainstream, and perhaps a guilty pleasure, where a singer, Jon Anderson from "Legend" does a vocal track. 0:00 Duke’s intro to Vangelis 0:54 playful banter with Amateur 1:43 Remembering Vangelis: Bladerunner 3:05 Chariots of Fire 3:39 DKC2 “In a snow bound land” lore 5:28 Amateur’s 3rd favorite Vangelis 🎶 6:35 Duke’s 3rd favorite Vangelis 🎶 7:42 Amateur’s 2nd favorite Vangelis 🎶 8:45 Duke’s 2nd favorite Vangelis 🎶 9:45 Amateur’s favorite Vangelis 🎶 11:46 Duke’s favorite Vangelis 🎶
