 Got to have it. November 5, 2008
Blade Runner changed my life, I was born in 1979 so wasn't able to appreciate the film until it had been out a good 13 years (I actually saw the director's cut first). I bought the original soundtrack in 1999 and it has been an integral part of my life ever since, I have just discovered by accident that this album has been released, I'm so excited I might wee myself...br /br /I apologise that this isn't actually a review but if you take my advice now to please buy this album then it was not a waste of your time to have read it. It is quite simply the most sublime soundtrack to a film ever made. A moment of clarity that only comes along once or twice a century...
Definitive soundtrack! October 1, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I always considered Vangelis' work for the "Blade Runner" soundtrack to be one of the most accomplished and definitive pieces he ever did for the universe of film. The music featured here is so evocative, its impact is so profound that it makes my mind travel through the most beautiful visions and landscapes. I would dare using Rutger Hauer's Batty final speech here: "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe! Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion... I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate... All those moments will be lost in time... like tears... in rain..." Except that those moments won't be lost in time for me, because they will forever be imprinted in my memories as some of the single most dazzling and wonderful that I have ever experienced when listening to music!
Wonderful! May 11, 2008

The film is a stunning visual masterpiece. The Vangelis soundtrack is simply wonderful to listen to. It really does take you there. After watching the film again (Final cut edition). I found myself going back to parts of the film with the music that moved me. The mixture of piano and synths add power and sweetness to this film noir.br /High lights for me was the opening theme as the spinner made it's a way across the city. The Love Theme is simply a beautiful piece of music which builds up nicely. Tear's in the rain, One Alone, and Fading away.br /
Best Vangelis release in recent times. March 29, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I too am fed up with Blade Runner geeks harping on about the perfect bladerunner album. br /br /What we have here is the best product vangelis has released in recent times. You get to hear some marvels in their entirety. Such as br /'At Mr Chews', 'Deckard and Roys Duel' and 'Mechanical Toys'. The crown jewels of cd 2 is the sublime 'Desolation Path', which is perhaps evidence that some of Vangelis' best work still remains unreleased and is likely to remain so. As far as the Blade Runner score is concerned, everything worth putting in is here. The bits left out are effective as an underscore and probably wouldnt be worthwhile album material.br /br /CD3 is at it should be different enough from the film and a new work. It is in the ilk of the albums 'The City' and 'Direct', which are the most underated works Vangelis has released. The track 'Spotkanie Z Matka' is subtly haunting and I still find myself humming the melody. The CD is just that, subtle and beautifuly put together without any over the top bombast. br /br /I would say seasoned Vangelis fans would enjoy this product and is great value for money. Those that are more from the Blade Runner camp should also be thankfull and stop taking apart what is a great film and score. Film music is written to support and add to the film and picture and not every single not is suitable for an album. The product is just right and doesnt go into self gratification mode. br /Next stop the unreleased music from 1492!
 Forget the soundtrack, listen to the MUSIC March 28, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
In many of the reviews I read here, I see that people seem more concerned with owning absolutely every note of music that existed in the movie (however irrelevant it may have been) than the music itself. Disk three, which is all new material, didn't even seem to interest some of the reviewers, who complain because disk 2 is not an exact repetition of what is present in the film. My review discusses the music, and the man who stands behind it, not the movie.br /br /Those who are familiar with Vangelis know that most of his movie soundtracks have little in common with the music actually used in the movie. That is, Vangelis seems to concentrate more on releasing an album which can actually be listened to as music, and not as mere film cues. This part I always liked. If you want to get a faithful soundtrack of the movie, why waste money on your precious bootlegs? Just watch the movie!! Enjoy the music during the movie, 'cause it's hardly worth listening to without it.br /br /Disk 1 is the same as the Blade Runner Soundtrack, released in 1994, no surprises there. Disk 2 is a collection of previously unreleased material written for the movie. This CD will not blow you away as far as memorable melodies, except for track 6, which is absolutely gorgeous. There are other tracks with nice melodies too; however, the main attraction of this CD should be the mood and atmosphere generated by the tracks. They remind one of the unique style Vangelis once had during the early eighties. I think this CD is the highlight of the set.br /br /Disk three is perhaps the reason why I gave this CD set only three stars. I actually like it for the most part. But I don't find it memorable. Sadly, as much as I am a big fan of Vangelis, I think that those days, marked by his remarkable creativity and uniqueness, are behind for good. Let's face it, perhaps one of the reasons why Vangelis no longer releases studio albums is because he has nothing new, fresh or unique to release. You still occasionally bump into some of his recent work, which has that spark that only Vangelis can deliver. Such sparce examples can be found in themes like "Young Alexander" in the Alexander soundtrack. However, one thing you will find absent in this album, and it has been absent in most of his recent work, is that touch that made his music stand out from the norm, those wonderful surprises that always kept you wondering where his music was going next. Gone seems to be his desire to experiment with sound. And perhaps it's hard to blame him for this, especially since keyboards nowadays come with thousands of pre-programmed sounds, covering such a wide spectrum, that it's hard (if not impossible) to create something that actually sounds different. Also, gone seems to be his uncanny ability to orchestrate music so delightfully and with such sweet, and memorable melodies. Instead, most of his music contains sounds which you've heard around a lot, or simple, overly repetitive, and non-fullfilling melodies. Piano in an Empty Room is an exception to the above, and is probably the gem from this CD.br /br /Don't get me wrong. I still think this CD set is a worthwhile buy. Just don't expect anything too groundbreaking.
