[net.sf-lovers] Blade Runner Soundtrack

trudel@topaz.RUTGERS.EDU (Jon) (08/19/85)

I've always wondered about the supposed soundtrack to the movie Blade
Runner.  Is the one I see in the stores exactly like the music in the
movie?  From what I remember, it was composed and performed by
Vangelis, but the album that I have seen only says that the music was
composed by Vangelis.  Did he perform the music for the movie?  Is the
soundtrack a duplication?  If so, how faithful is it compared to the
movie's version?  Sorry if this has been asked before, but I've only
heard rumors, and not the album.  Thanks.

	He did perform the one in the movie, however, refused to have
	it released as an album. The one sold in the record stores
	is performed by a seperate group of musicians. It is O.K., but
	with the exception of "LOVE THEME", it is not quite as
	thrilling as the Vangelis original. However, this group of
	musicians do include some notable names from the U.S. Jazz
	world. Since there does not seem to be a way of getting the
	very original, this is as close as you can get.
