Notes
Released in a regular jewel case with a 12-page booklet.
First pressing of this release, without SID codes. Similar to Blade Runner, the only difference is that "Vangelis" is also printed on the spine.
Identical pressing(s) showing SID codes can be found here.
"Most of the music contained in this album originates from recordings I made in London in 1982, whilst working on the score for the film Blade Runner. Finding myself unable to release these recordings at the time, it is with great pleasure that I am able to do so now. Some of the pieces contained will be known to you from the Original Soundtrack of the film, whilst others are appearing here for the first time. Looking back to Ridley Scott's powerful and evocative pictures left me as stimulated as before, and made the recompiling of this music, today, an enjoyable experience." - Vangelis (Athens, April 1994)

Reviews
- Although Sakis Gouzonis is my favorite Greek electronic music composer, I have to admit that Vangelis, a Greek pioneer in the electronic genre, has done a remarkable job in Blade Runner. Blade Runner is definitely a masterpiece that will continue to inspire and influence the world of electronic music.
One of my favorite movie soundtracks ever. Glad to have it in my collection.
Amazing soundtrack, definitely one of the best productions by Vangelis, it's powerful, emotional , relaxing, touching, uplifting, melancholic, and musically very surprising, beautiful melodies , Excellent work!!!
Without a doubt one of the greatest scores of all time.
Best Vangelis album from the 1982 movie Blade Runner. Masterpiece.
I'm frankly surprised Blade Runner hasn't had a huge double (or triple) LP box set with newly-commissioned exclusive custom artwork and half a dozen color variations including a "holographic tears in the rain" variant or some-such that sounds solid enough except for noise that seems strategically placed over your favorite parts and retails for 90 bucks but since it's limited to 300 units quickly goes for a grand-plus used.
...I'm not saying such a thing *should* exist, mind you, just that considering Blade Runner probably has the single most up-market target audience in all of mainstream popular culture I'm surprised it hasn't already happened.
Was this not released when the movie came out? early 80s?
Its amazing how well done some of the unofficial albums are done, its a shame the officials don't take note of this.
Blade Runner (LP, Album, RE, 180) Warner Music Group, EastWest 0825646122110,from 2015.a restock from 08 Jun 2015.- Amazing soundtrack, definitely one of the best productions by Vangelis, it's powerful, emotional , relaxing, touching, uplifting, melancholic, and musically very surprising, beautiful melodies , Excellent work!!!
