Biography

Raphael Preston is an audio engineer, his work is most notable for the time he spent with Vangelis at his Nemo Studios in London (1977-1984). He played on quite a few Vangelis involved tracks such as the guitar on Jon and Vangelis' ''The Road'' and playing the portable video game 'Bambino: UFO Master Blaster Station' on ''Memories Of Green'', famous for its appearance in the film 'Blade Runner'. The Master Blaster was a gift from Vangelis and his then partner Veronique, and Raphael had to play it throughout the song ''Memories Of Green'' without losing or else it would make a interruptive, loud noise. Raphael has also recorded music himself, releasing 5 solo albums and 2 singles.
