Surprised [Edited]

It’s hard to express how much I love Vangelis and this score and this movie, so I was thrilled to find it on 180g. BUT… It is a surprisingly quiet pressing. I will hang on to it until I find another option, but I’m less excited to play for friends and will be keeping my eyes open in the shops. [Edit 9/8/23: To be fair, I’ve recently learned about dynamic range and the “loudness war.” I don’t have anything to measure the compression, but I will take a closer listen - I might just be seasoned to remastering trends.]

More than a soundtrack; an experience!

This goes well beyond just being one's favourite movie, it's an enhancement for any music listener in general. The record is very well engineered in terms of sound, in fact, incredible sound! It's truly a gift that gives again and again with each time you give it a spin! It comes in a poly-lined sleeve so care was taken from the start. So, if you love movie soundtracks, this movie, or musical scores from movies, this goes right along with the film conjuring sweeping imagery evoked in the mind as you hear the sound. Don't hesitate and miss out, get yours, TODAY!

One More (Play), Dear

Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2020

As some folks have pointed out here, this album is chock full o' VO (as in: actual dialog from the movie inserted into the music). This has always been an unfortunate quirk of Vangelis, and one that is universally panned. Still, you either accept that on the one hand you're getting an annoying VO, or you appreciate that on the other hand you are getting the original music, performed by the composer.

Presentation of the vinyl is excellent, with an unexpected gatefold jacket, and lots of pictures from the movie, including one of Vangelis himself from the 80s. The disc labels are slightly confusing, as only one boldly proclaims which side you're looking at (Side 2 as it happens), so if you extract the record from its sleeve as I did, facing Side 1, you'll probably stand there, foolishly staring at it for several long moments, trying to ascertain which side it is.

While in otherwise pristine condition, my album jacket suffered some damage along the top edge where apparently the disc itself banged upwards inside during shipping hard enough and/or often enough to start to wear through. Oh, well.

Anyway, sounds superb!

Vangelis at the top of his game

I have every single album from Vangelis and from all his soundtracks this, to my opinion, is him at his best. This is where a soundtrack completed the movie to a point that i believe if Blade Runner had a different music it would have been useless. It is like how spring has to come after winter this movie was born to have this soundtrack or vice versa. None would exists without the other.
Most of the music on this soundtrack is original for the movie and there are some pieces that he wrote for other albums or projects but they fit the movie so well that they were included like Memories of Green.
Vangelis wrote a lot of music for this movie and he used some in the soundtrack and some were included in the Trilogy set that was released years later in 2007.
The vinyl record sounds crisp and the results are amazing - much better than the CD version. If you have a record player and don't mind paying extra bucks to get the 180 gram vinyl version, then look no further.

Excellent audio quality on a mesmerizing soundtrack by Vangelis...

Excellent recording... Sound quality is better than the compact disc (CD). The only issue i had was that the label was on the wrong sides. The Side One label was on Side two and vice versa. As some of you may know, the soundtrack for this movie was never available for a couple of decades after the movie was released. A CD version released and finally the vinyl record was released. This is the second pressing, the original pressing was on 180 grm red transparent vinyl. This is on a 180 gram black vinyl. 180 gram vinyl records are heavier and thicker than the old standard vinyl records which means it is less prone to warping.

Brilliant Music on well pressed vinyl

Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2019

While I prefer the fuller and more extended Blade Runner soundtrack, this vinyl sounds AMAZING. Gorgeous art, well pressed, filled with the ground breaking score from the ground breaking movie.

Vangelis's eerie sounding, synth heavy score has inspired countless music artists and it's easy to see why. The variety of music on this soundtrack is wonderful, but it's all cohesive. Even it's soft depression era melancholy ballad of One More Kiss Dear, with it's scratchy radio and worn vinyl sound fits into this world.

I can't say enough good things about this movie, this score and now i have it on analogue and I couldn't be happier about it.
