Album Description:
This is the first time that Blade Runner fans in the U.S. will be able to purchase this special release domestically and not as an import.
Ridley Scott's Blade Runner, with its apocalyptic depiction of LA in 2019, has become one of the most celebrated sci-fi releases of the 20th century. It's one of those films where all of the constituent parts - the set, the lighting, the characters, the sparse dialogue and of course the music - work uniquely together to produce a cult masterpiece.
The music has always been a key element of Blade Runner and there have been various versions of the soundtrack over the years, some 'official' and some bootlegs. But they have all either been incomplete or have suffered from poor sound quality, until now.
Blade Runner Trilogy: 25th Anniversary is a 3-CD set which - for the first time - puts all the pieces together, providing the complete music from the film and a lot more besides.
CD 1 features the original and remastered soundtrack as it first appeared in 1994, twelve years after the film was released. The second CD contains all the remaining music from the film that did not appear on the original 1994 soundtrack, plus two bonus tracks ('One Alone' and 'Desolation Path'). None of this material has been released before. The third and final disc will be of real interest to Vangelis fans, as it contains an entire album of newly written material composed by Vangelis to mark the 25th anniversary of Blade Runner. The music is strong and flowing, and retains the dark, atmospheric sense of the original score. There are some intriguing spoken word contributions too, from Ridley Scott, Roman Polanski, Oliver Stone and a host of distinguished actors, personalities and world dignitaries.

One track on this album has the absurd title "Unveiled Twinkling Space." It fits the album well because the album is all twinkling. It's all wind chimes and cheesy wind effects and almost no music from the movie "Blade Runner."
I'm not a Vangelis fan. I think he's pretentious, for one thing. For another, I think he's got very little creative talent. He tends to take about eight notes and repeat them endlessly, without even varying the tempo or the key. He can't think of codas- ... Read More

Vangelis has given a wonderful present to all fans of the movie and his music. Of course we miss the opening titles, that impressive theme is once more missing (why??) but at least we can enjoy previously unreleased music and, above all, there is completely new music based on BR which is particularly interesting since it means a new turn in V's music career after so many "neoclassical" albums. Jazz, electronica, new age..., styles he visited in the past sound now as fresh as ever and sheer experimentation ... Read More

There I was sitting in a comfortable airport bar at DIA having a smooth drink watching the world stroll by when my inner ears perked up. What was that music that was playing? Wait I recognize that ...... It's It's the Blade Runner soundtrack by Vangelis. But it sounds like lounge music. Oh no ! It hit me as hard as when I learned that there was no Santa. The music from my favorite Sci-fi movie when disembodied from the visual imagery dilutes to bar music. The tracks sounded so ... at home here in a bar. ... Read More

Esta colección de tres discos, editada para conmemorar el 25 aniversario del Estreno de la Pelicula de Blade Runner, es un trabajo muy bien logrado por Vangelis, que se manifiesta en una obras que refleja de manera excelente la atmosfera futurista y obscura de la cinta. Y sobre todo, a partir de el crea variaciones que toman senderos originales, para explorar el mundo que es insinuado por las imagenes de la pelicula. Es decir Vangelis retrata musicalmente a la creación del director Ridley Scot, pero no se contenta ... Read More
