Quoted from Llabnip1972:My step father loved this guy when I was a kid. I just recently when down the rabbit hole ...I seem to remember he was in a prog rock band called Goblin or something. I've been listening to alot of synthetic music lately, Tycho, Tangerine Dream, I need to add some Vangelis to the mix....
Not Goblin - they are an Italian band from slightly later. Vangelis was in a band called "Aphrodite's Child" which is nice, but sort of unremarkable when compared to his later stuff. (or when compared to Goblin!)
sidebar: check out the awesome soundtrack to this movie "Thief" that Tangerine Dream did.
