Vangelis - Blade Runner - Trilogy
Release date: 10/12/2007
Catalogue Number: cd 5305147/e-album 5305151
Description:Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner, with its claustrophobic depiction of LA in 2019, has become one of the most celebrated sci-fi releases of the 20th century. To mark the 25th Anniversary of the film, this stunning 3CD collection with previously unreleased music from the film, bonus tracks, a brand new album of Vangelis material and Sleeve notes written by Ridley Scott is released. CD 1 Features the original and remastered soundtrack as it first appeared in 1994, twelve years after the film was released. CD 2 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. CD3 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 Bruno Delaye (the Ambassador of France to Spain) as well as many others.
