It will not be easy to, er, replicate the atmo of the film for a sequel. Ridley will direct, but it absolutely needs Vangelis' music again or someone who can create a similarly evocative score without riding its coattails, as with Daft Punk's music for Tron Legacy. Of course, it needs a quality story and script. K.W. Jeter (PKD's protégé) wrote a direct sequel to the film, literally titled Blade Runner 2, in the '90s. I didn't read it, but I recall it was well-received. I don't think they intend to adapt it, though.

Why do they have to make all these dumb sequels. Anyway I went with Love Theme. It's a nice song to listen to when you're having a threesome with your dogs. Just kidding
 having sex with your wife after you've had a big fight because you did something really dumb like Ralph Kramden would do.

Oh, yeah! Song pick! I went with "One More Kiss, Dear" cuz it haunts me and has such a cool 1920's feel to it. (I think I would have really liked the 1920s.) I love all the other songs as well--especially the trumpet work on "Blade Runner's Blues," the synths etc. as Roy's death soliloquy plays, and the piano notes from "Rachel's Theme" Rachel and Deckard play before making love.

I know an album just for you then: The Caretaker's An Empty Bliss Beyond This World. The entire album is streaming on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LL998ajnjN4 The Caretaker is actually Leyland Kirby - he named himself The Caretaker after the bartender ghost in The Shining (novel and film), in the ballroom where the dance never ends. The album has a very similar feel to "One More Kiss, Dear." My favorite track is the first one, "All You Are Going to Want to Do Is Get Back There." Edited by jude111 - August 21 2013 at 21:39 |

Vangelis' "Blade Runner"
Topic Options

<span style="line-height: 1.2;">, but the 3rd disc is largely new music by Vangelis, and it's not really close to the Blade Runner sound. The 2nd disc is largely very mellow, most of it incidental music. What's missing (besides some great tracks) are some of the cool sound effects from the film, like that blimp with the Japanese woman, and that advert that goes something like, "</span>A new life awaits you in the off-world colonies, the chance to begin again in a golden land of opportunity and adventure..."
