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

Customer Reviews of Blade Runner
Good movie ruined by a horrific score. . . Vangelis?? How on earth did Ridley Scott come to the conclusion that he needed Vangelis to do the music to Blade Runner? Admittedly, the movie has the greatest cinematography I've seen in a movie in a long time, but the score just ruins the whole thing! It's just plain awful! From annoying high-pitched synthesizer to a cheesy saxaphone (completely unneccessary!), this soundtrack is full of complete garbage. The only plus I'll give it is adding in the voice overs to accompany the soundtrack; it really spices it up and makes it just a little bit creepier. The score by itself with no voices would sound incredibly bad and dull.
While this soundtrack does have its fans, I am not one of them. All I can say is shame on the Blade Runner crew for choosing Vangelis of all people to do the soundtrack. This is one soundtrack to pass up.
Long-awaited Wow.
At the time, I didn't realize my New American Orchestra version wasn't Vangelis' soundtrack. I'm glad to have them both for the slight variations of some tracks and the blatant, uniquely Vangelis' own cuts which take this version far beyond the scope of the latter. Enter a dark and dreamy futuristic world which often feels cold and lonely, sometimes steamy and hot, with this somewhat bluesy/jazzy new age electronic masterpiece filled with bittersweet imagery and dialogue from the film. Even if you never saw or liked the movie, you'll be hard pressed to resist the sexy, saxy love theme everyone should have in their music collection. Brooding, mysterious, hopeful, energizing Vangelis brings you one of his all-time best collections under the title of Blade Runner.
Blade Runner [SOUNDTRACK]
Blade Runner [SOUNDTRACK]~ Vangelis is a tremendous soundtrack. Vangelis shows his raw tallent, his tremendous loops and mindbending sounds. He is an amazing electronic music composer. 5/5.
