BOC - UK Tour Dates Announced!

[Steve Swann]

The long and the short of it is that a proper studio-released version of the soundtrack, with all the good instrumental bits (uninterrupted by dialog and various sound fx from the film) has never been released.  All the soundtrack albums are some kind of compromise.

And btw, all official released versions of the film feature the Vangelis soundtrack.  And the Director's Cut has a very dramatic abrupt ending, with the elevator doors slamming in your face, which then cuts immediately to the closing credits featuring said banging synthesizer music that started this chat.  :)

 play; but I've only ever seen the Director's Cut of _Blade Runner_,
 which doesn't have the Vangelis soundtrack; so if they'd changed it, I
 wouldn't know. Decided to be safe rather than sorry :-)


You are charged to fare forth and bring back a copy of Vangelis's  
_Blade Runner_ soundtrack.  It's quite good. :)

(OK the third disc of the 3-disc version is a bit .. strange, but the  
1st disc from that set, which is the entire 1994 release is quite  
solid.  There are various bootleg versions, too .... the complexities  
of which defeat me ;)

Cheers,
Carl
