Vangelis "Conquest of Paradise".
Now that is a fantastic piece of music, and every time I hear it I'm reminded of what an impact Oriana had on us Brits when it first arrived in 95.
Captain Ian Gibb, one of P&O's best ever Captain's insisted that it was played on the maiden voyage every time it left port.

Vangelis has come a long way since he was keyboard player in the Greek band 'Aphrodite's Child' in the 1960's and early 1970's, with Demis Roussos on vocals.
Vengelis is probably best known for his 'Chariots of Fire' soundtrack and his work with Yes's 'Jon Anderson' known as 'John and Vangelis'.

OK, let's have a bit of fun: On which cruise ships might you expect to hear the following songs played as it left port?
a) D:Ream's "Things Can Only Get Better!";
b) The "Ode to Joy" section of the Beethoven's 9th Symphony;
c) Shania Twaine's "I feel just like a woman";
d) "The Macarena";
e) [that song] by Celine Dion; and
(just for Malcolm since he's obviously a fan...)f) "Goodbye my Love Goodbye" by Demis Roussos
Suggestions, please....
Greetings Ben.

its interestingi wonder if the taste in music and the music itself on board cruise ships are a pure , defenitive decision of the cruise director? or maybe there are actully orders given by the cruise line to all entertainment teams onboard the ships?

Nope! I though Rod might even do it himself!

Hmm..they are all very hairy and Greek!
I think Demis Roussos is in the middle and Vangelis (real name: Evangelos Papathanassiou) is on the left.
There's more info about the band HERE if you need it.
