| I'm particularly fond of the soundtrack editions which overlay
| Vangelis' music with city background noise, bits of dialog, and
| other atmospherics from the appropriate scene:

|
| Give it a listen, while you read the article... or anytime.

| If you like these, consider also his work in _The City_ (1990).

| Finding an "authentic" version if the Blade Runner soundtrack
| is surprisingly difficult. Most are compilations and
| reinterpretations, even made by Vangelis himself. My favourite
| is this version: http://www.vangelisrarities.com/produit/blade-
| runner-2019-ed...
|
| The maker must have spent a lot of time extracting this from
| the multichannel Audiotracks of the Blu-Rays.

| Typo on page 6, those are BGW not BWG amplifiers. They are BGW

| some of the best sound reinforcement/labs amps made at the time.

| For anyone interested in the world of analog synths, now is the

| Joking aside, the Yamaha CS-80 sound that built Vangelis' career
| is easily a $60,000 synthesizer today, but you can still get 90%
| the same sound from a $600 Behringer Deepmind 6. Both instruments
| are obviously respectable in their own rights (and perhaps
| detestable in others), but I think it represents a really hopeful
| trend for the future of electronic music. I still have a hard
| time believing that you can get several high-quality polyphonic,
| analog synthesizers for less than a grand.

| At least Reader mode works fine.

| He will not be forgotten.

| Dillinja produced a fantastic track by sampling the score - "The
| Angels Fell" [MET006, 1995]
|
| One of my all-time favourite jungle/drum&bass tracks :-)

| It's awesome.

| I had this CD:

| Contains another Dillinja track that also has Blade Runner
