Description

The original motion picture soundtrack for Ridley Scott's 1982 science-fiction noir film Blade Runner, composed by Greek electronic musician Vangelis.

The presentation itself is fine but the color scheme is clearly more washed than the original designs. Examples where various disciplines come together to produce something as seminal as Blade Runner are rare, and this pressing is the perfect way to honour that. Its combination of classical compositions with synth work perfect mirrors the futuristic atmospheric ambient noir of the original film. Since the premiere of the film, two official albums have been released containing music omitted from the film and also new compositions featuring a similar style. Composed by Vangelis for Ridley Scott's 1982 classic, the Blade Runner soundtrack has assumed legendary status amongst fans of synthesizer music.From the latest 4K, 8K, QLED and OLED TV's to a huge range of home cinema receivers and speakers, we have a huge range of home cinema products available. Wallfisch and Zimmer were able to craft not just one of the best scores of the year, but one of the most thrilling sci-fi scores in recent memory. It is mostly a dark, melodic combination of classical composition and synthesizers which mirrors the futuristic film noir envisioned by Scott. Our range covers traditional on ear headphones from basic models to high end headphones and we also carry a range of discreet in ear models for portable devices and wireless models to allow freedom in your house. Find yourself in the dystopian world of this iconic sci-fi film as the haunting melodies and atmospheric synthesizers transport you to a future filled with intrigue and mystery.

The vinyl sounds absolutely and stunningly crystal clear, almost all the way through, but alas, there's a strange noise happening in the fourth track of the first side.

Composed by Vangelis for Ridley Scott's 1982 classic movie, the 'Blade Runner' soundtrack has assumed legendary status amongst fans of synthesizer music. The 1989 compilation Themes included some tracks from the film, but it was not until two years after the 1992 Director's Cut of the film that the score saw an official release. All image and audio content is used by permission of the copyright holders or their agents, and/or according to fair dealing as per the UK Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988.The score evokes the film's bleak futurism with an emotive synthesizer-based sound, drawing on the jazz scores of classic film noir as well as neo-classical elements and Middle Eastern texture. I would highly recommend just purchasing a sealed or NM copy of the 2015 version as the mastering just as so much more range. Lot of people here probably can't hear it, since it's very low and small, but with an Ortofon 2M-Bronze, very good turntable and quite nice speakers, it's easy to say there's a problem. The film also features "Ogi No Mato" ("The Folding Fan as a Target" on Traditional Vocal and Instrumental Music from Nonesuch Records) by the Japanese group Ensemble Nipponia, and harpist Gail Laughton's "Pompeii 76 A.

Denis Villenueve's masterful Blade Runner 2049 features a score composed by legendary maestro Hans Zimmer. The gatefold and inner-poly sleeve are also nice, though I once again, have to parrot the fact that the print resolution on the gatefold looks pretty crummy. Finding myself unable to release these recordings at the time, it is with great pleasure that I am able to do so now.

The movie needed something different, and I needed to go back to something closer to [the original film's composer] Vangelis. The duo was brought in somewhat later in the production process, after the score's initial composer, Icelandic composer Jóhann Jóhannsson, ceased involvement due to creative differences.

Crafted with precision, this vinyl soundtrack captures the essence of the film, creating an immersive sonic journey that lingers long after the needle lifts. Looking back at Ridley Scott's powerful and evocative pictures left me as stimulated as before, and made the recompiling of this music, today, an enjoyable experience. An orchestral rendition of part of the soundtrack was released in 1982 by the New American Orchestra. These mock ups are digital representations of what we expect the final product to look like - however they do not represent the final product.Villeneuve explained his decision to replace Jóhannsson with Zimmer in an interview with Al Arabiya.
