BLADE RUNNER: MUSIC FROM THE ORIGINAL SCORE (BSX RECORDS)
A perfect recreation of Oscar-winning composer Vangelis' score from Blade Runner. Released in 1982, the dystopian BLADE RUNNER was directed by Ridley Scott (THE DUELLISTS, ALIEN) and featured Harrison Ford in his second starring role after RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK.
Celebrating its 30th Anniversary in 2012, BLADE RUNNER has become a cult film favorite the world over.
Over the years, multiple edits of the film have been created for the home video, DVD and Blu-Ray markets.
Similarly Vangelis score has been released in several different incarnations, but none of them are accurate representations of what was heard in the original 1982 film.
Largely because of a dispute between Vangelis and Scott over the director's use of his music in the film, a proper soundtrack of the music as it is heard in the film has never been commercially issued (despite the promise of a soundtrack album from Polydor Records given in the film's end titles), described Randall D.
Larson in the liner notes of the new BSX recording. BSX Records seeks to correct this oversight, with a new recording faithfully recreating the original music from the film, which proved to be a difficult task.
