1-star review preceding I want to give my opposite opinion.
Vangelis (from late 80's onwards) is not 'elevator music'. It
isn't exactly progressive either but good music doesn't have to
be prog. For the most part, this compilation draws from the
albums 1492, Voices, Oceanic and El Greco, all very fine works.
The rest is solitary tracks from The City, Blade Runner and
soundtracks of "Bitter Moon" and "The Plague".  Vangelis has
been one of my constant favourites for one and a half decade -
had it all been new I would have been deeply impressed of it
all. At least I think... it was simultaneously with my 'New age
phase' that Vangelis became dear to me. But why I still love
Vangelis and don't care much for New Age? Simply because his
music gives so much more. Yes, it's soft and romantic. Its sound
is polished to the extreme.
