5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning, however.., 11 Jan 2002

By A Customer

..a lot is missing, and if you wanted anything close to a full score then this isn't where you'll find it. The only place where one can conceivably find such a thing is on the bootleg of an 18 track 'Private Release' which was limited to 2000 copies only. Yet, as this album contains re-performed pieces as well as completely new ones I can't help but think of this as more of an "original" Vangelis composition rather than a soundtrack to a film which, judging by the flow of the arrangements and relatively short tracklist, was perhaps its intended purpose and the reason it is so infinitely listenable - which can rarely be said of a lengthy OST.

The pieces speak for themselves - "Blush Response", "Love Theme", "Blade Runner Blues", "Memories Of Green" and "Tears In Rain" are for me the highlights, all sweeping synth and aching piano refrains combined to form a tragic yet strangely beautiful urban dystopia, each one as evocative as the next.

A truly influential album which can still be heard throughout the world of IDM & Neo-Electro

5.0 out of 5 stars Make yourself a space-age bachelor pad...get this CD!, 9 Jan 2003

By	D. Kohen "davko79" (London) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Being a bachelor who lives on their own in a small apartment, this CD is the music of my choice when I'm at home (whether I be shaving, waking up, doing errands or simply relaxing). The music on this CD transforms my apartment into some sort of space-age futuristic bachelor pad - just like Deckard's apartment in the movie "Blade Runner". After a hard day's work, returning home to the sounds of "Blade Runner Blues" soothes the soul. "Memories of Green" is perhaps my favourite track and never fails to get me sentimental and nostalgic about friends, relationships and family. The background sounds on many of the tracks give you the feeling that outside you really are living in the cold futuristic L.A. portrayed in the movie. While some say the track "One More Kiss Dear" is out of place, for me it adds to the overall atmosphere of the CD and perfectly recreates images of Harrison Ford's moody P.I. eating in a neon-soaked rain-drenched city of the future.

5.0 out of 5 stars Do Androids Dream of Electric Scores?, 15 Sep 2005

By	Juan Iglesias "juaniglesias4" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This atmospheric score sounds as unique now as it did in 1982. Vangelis succeeded in matching Ridley Scott's visuals with music that has not only retained its freshness but really takes you to another place with its power. On the first track alone, when the initial dialogue is over and those first few magical notes hit you, the effect is truly mind blowing and you realise this is by far not your average soundtrack. The mix of sounds and styles is bizarre even by Vangelis standards and has the strange ability to numb you into nostalgic thought against your will. But strangest of all, the biggest drawback of the CD turns out to be it's best feature, which is its spot-on presentation. It omits nearly half of the film's music and includes a lot of unused tracks (probably from the countless re-edits) which works for the album rather than against it. Top marks for the inclusion of dialogue, effects, track order and transition... and ending with Batty's 'Tear In Rain' poem rather than the end credits is perfection. Play it at night and let it take you.
