Well, Vangelis' own music is just different. I wouldn't want Aphrodite's Child as the soundtrack for ‘Blade Runner’.

Also of note, he had a remarkably hypnotic and cryptic process with his synth music, probably completely unfit for a rock band.

    Someone noted in the comments that apparently Vangelis hated reading sheet music, never learned to do it, and just faked doing it in music school. He had his secretary transcribe his notes into standard notation. Which probably didn't make it any easier for him to collaborate with other people.
