Customer Reviews

Definitive soundtrack!
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!
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.
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.

Best Vangelis release in recent times.
I too am fed up with Blade Runner geeks harping on about the perfect bladerunner album.

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
'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.

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.

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.
Next stop the unreleased music from 1492!
