For years, the soundtrack to Blade Runner held legendary status among fans of Greek synthesist Vangelis. Except for a few cuts on the Themes compilation, it had never been released on vinyl or CD, although there was an orchestral version of the score. But in 1994, 12 years after Vangelis composed the dark, edgy soundtrack to director Ridley Scott's archetypal science fiction thriller, the music of Blade Runner came out in all its cybernoir glory.

Vangelis couched his electrosymphonic score in percussive rhythms and shadowed timbres. Effectively interpolating dialogue from the film, the CD moves from the threatening tension of "Blush Response" to the ethereal wordless vocal of Mary Hopkin over a water-drop synthesizer sequence on "Rachel's Song." A few tracks, notably "Love Theme" with Dick Morrisey's smarmy saxophone solo, drip with Hollywood sentimentality, but Vangelis quickly wipes that away with the hyperdrive of "Blade Runner (End Titles)." --John Diliberto

Surprised

Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2023

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.

More than a soundtrack; an experience!

Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2023

Verified Purchase

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!

Not OST, of course!

Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2023

Why include dialog from the movie? Vangelis is a fine composer and this album contains interesting pieces not in the film. It's worth listening to but for myself the voice-overs detract from the music. If I want to experience the movie, I'll watch the movie! No clear concept from Vangelis except to combine some odds and ends and make some money.

One More (Play), Dear

Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2020

Verified Purchase

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.

100% Honest

An opportunity of a lifetime!

Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2012

Verified Purchase

Any truly honest movie fan will admit that the Blade Runner soundtrack is without a doubt one of the most memorable and important in movie history. Not since Kubrick's realization of just how important a soundtrack can be to the very meaning of a film (2001: A Space Odyssey) has there been a soundtrack that propels the viewer aurally into the vision made reality intended by the director.

Watch the movie, then listen to the soundtrack with your eyes closed and you are transported there...into the dark, gritty, bleak future. Maybe in danger, maybe regretting the loss of life, maybe getting soaked by the cold rain, or maybe feeling the warmth of falling in love... it all depends on which track you're listening to. For this reason alone you should buy this soundtrack.

But here are more reasons to purchase this item: CDs are now like Vinyl. They are being replaced by a newer technology; Apps, iTunes, Mp3s, etc. But what is that new technology really? Simply electrical impulses. Think about it. It's not tangible. You can't touch it, hold it or look at it. If your battery dies, it disappears, ceases to exist. Gone.

Another reason is that this soundtrack hasn't been in print since 1994 and if you don't get it now, it will only be available to you as an electrical shadow.

And the last reason is that this is the BEST price for this brand new item available ANYWHERE. $10 for a treasure like this Can't and Shouldn't be passed up because you WILL regret not getting one when you had the chance. Get it before these few are all gone!

It's an opportunity of a lifetime.

BLADE RUNNER : par Vangelis , dans l'éternel souvenir de notre rêve d'éternité et d'un amour éternel .... Majeur .

Reviewed in France on May 22, 2014

a marqué une époque ...
certes me direz vous ...
mais aussi , les bandes originales ,et leurs écritures , recevront en pleine face cette BO qui modifiera , en quelques sortes , notre perception assez généraliste , et un peu convenue que l'on pouvait se faire auparavant , d'une bande originale .
Les instrumentaux ,les orchestrations, l'apport important des sonorités de synthèse ,utilisés à très bon escient,magnifiquement,( et pas simplement pour produire un effet de nouveauté...). Remarquable intégration donc , des sons issus des synthétiseurs , nouvel outil de création , qui au début des années 80 avaient encore été relativement peu utilisés dans un film avec autant de bonheur, avec un résultat aussi qualitatif et avec un tel niveau de qualité de rendu . La partition est riche de superbes textures sonores et de si merveilleux détails , qui , ensembles , participent hautement à l'intensité dramatique de l'œuvre .

... Donc , ... la façon d'entrevoir le film est alors largement enrichi par les compositions , quel superbe apport à un film à la très grande richesse visuelle et narrative.

Il y eu à la fin des 70's et au début de 80's , deux entrées importantes en la matière , la façon "John Williams" qui apporta une vrai nouvelle façon ""de penser"" la BO .
Aussi , cette Fabuleuse bande originale, profondément mélancolique , pensive , émotionnelle , presque charnelle .
... une splendeur que cette bande originale qui se marie de façon extraordinaire aux visuels .

Un "Soundtrack" qui offre au travail visuel de Scott , une force expressive accentuée , très vive , et de cette si tangible et belle dimenssion métaphysique ,à l'oeuvre filmée , à cette œuvre exceptionnelle qu'est "Blade Runner" ..."O quelle splendeur mélancolique" .

Nous repensons ( enfin je ) ou nous , comme vous le voudrez ,... à cette scène miraculeuse :
... Rutger Hauer( le replicant) sur le toit sous la pluie , dans cette lumière bleuté de la nuit ,... comme en un instant de sublime lucidité ,... de fragilité , s'exprime ... dans le même temps nous ressentons , tout l'aléatoire ou tant bien même "les pourquoi ?" , les chemins des possibles ,... possiblement résolvants , ou afférents à une vrai continuité , ... issue , de nos questionnements humains ...et de nos désespoirs aussi ...
...Rutger Hauer , interroge ,parle à l'homme , le détective , "le Blade Runner" ( Harrison Ford) .
... Certains moments de cette BO sont non seulement spectaculaires et grandioses émotionnellement , tout autant qu'ils sont par moments , véritablement bouleverssants, tellement ils nous touchent au plus profond de notre âme sensible.
C'est le But ... et oui , sur le fond ,l'air de rien , car cela est si bien mis en scènes , quelle histoire ... ... , cher amis , il convient ici de nous intérroger sur l'humain, son devenir , et en ce film futuriste et d'anticipation , entre silicium et humanité , ...

Ce film est brillant ,c'est un euphémisme , tout autant que cette BO ,qui est intemporelle et se situe comme étant , une pièce majeure qui , pour son époque , aura profondément changé notre rapport à une bande originale ...
et ce , pour les années qui allaient suivre ;... la sciences fiction, et les arts dialoguent au sommet ,
dans l'inspiration ,
... et ce saxophone .... bouleverssant , comme s'il nous amenait vers l'infini , ou la finitude , ... qui sait ... de nos destinés ,
Que savons nous au juste ?
Est la question à laquelle nous invite cette sublime BO

Génial !!!
