Free Music Notes for Blade Runner Trilogy: 25th Anniversary [3 CD]
Free Music Review: Marketing A Lie
Hit: 1 Stars
This is not actually a review of the product itself but rather a review of Amazon's product description.
Amazon's product description clearly states that the 3 CD collection is "providing the complete music from the film and a lot more besides." The description also states that, "The second CD contains all the remaining music from the film that did not appear on the original 1994 soundtrack."
These are false statements. They are flat out lies. The fact that Vangalis wants to release new music and keep certain tracks unreleased is his prerogative. That's not the issue. The fact that this new release is being marketed as having "the complete music from the film" is out right fraud and Amazon should be held accountable.
Free Music Review: A BIG DISAPPOINTMENT!!!

I wish I had read the reviews of this awful product BEFORE i puchased it. The other reviewers are correct that this DOES NOT have ALL the Vangelis music from Blade Runner. A specific example is when Deckard is going up to J.F. Sebastian's apartment and has the confrontation with Pris. At about 1:28:56 into the movie (The Director's Cut) and ends at about 1:31:40. Ever since I had bought the original "soundtrack", I had been annoyed that this was left off. I was excited when I saw this was coming out, because I wrongly assumed that with THREE CDs, all the music had to be on it. It isn't. DON'T BUY THIS!!!Free Music Review: Disappointing.

As some of the others have stated, this is NOT the Blade Runner soundtrack. It may be new Vangelis music, it may even be 'inspired' by Blade Runner but some of the great music from the film just isn't there. Where is Ogi No Mato (the blimp music) and the music from Tyrell's place where Deckard first meets Rachel? Where is the music from Taffy Lewis' place? The titles are there but the music isn't even close. I'm not saying the new music is bad, it's just not Blade Runner. Fans looking for the proper soundtrack best stick with the bootleg versions...sadly.Free Music Review: Wind ?? Really, you needed to add a wind effect ?

Ok i will sum up this review with one word: useless.
Case in point, only one CD brings new Blade Runner material, and that's CD 2. So don't get your hopes up when you see " 3 CDs Blade Runner" because that's just false advertising.
Note i didnt put *original* in CD 2 description, because it aint. Vangelis had to add effects like Wind. Yes, wind blowing over the magnificient end titles which absolutely and needlessly ruin an otherwise perfect piece.
Thank god i didn't buy this.
Cheers

Free Music Review: Blade Runner Trilogy

Not even close to what an original soundtrack should be. An indulgent and shameful mess from a spent composer who must have thought this THING was clever. The score for Blade Runner remains Vangelis' masterpiece... a great pity he doesn't know this and instead continues to muck it all up. Save your money and find a technically inferior bootleg... it'll will bring you more pleasure than this head ache. Better yet, buy my copy. What a waste.
