Pour célébrer les 500 ans de la découverte de l'Amérique Ridley Scott réalisa 1492 Christophe Colomb avec Gérard Depardieu dans le rôle-titre. La musique fut confiée à Vangelis compositeur grec de renommée internationale connu du grand public pour les bandes originales des films Les Chariots de Feu et Blade Runner entre autres. Habité par le sujet Vangelis réalise une bande son exceptionnelle mêlant composantes électroniques et mélodiques avec une texture ethnique et chorale. L'ensemble des lignes harmoniques trouve son apogée dans le sublime Conquest Of Paradise ('À la conquête du Paradis') une ode magnifique à la découverte età la liberté.
