BLADE RUNNER (OST)

To be honest, I saw the movie at the time, but I couldn't really remember anything about its music. I came to the conclusion that this was a sign that there is nothing as love at the first sight here. And I was proven to be right.

This album is a long sequence of new age music; enjoyable, pleasant, very soft but somewhat too much of the same. There is some good sax during "Love Theme" which is one of my favorite track featured on this "Blade Runner" album.

Some weird moments are also available like "Tales of the Future" which is mixing Oriental atmosphere, passable vocalizing and hectic instrumental passages. The following "Damask Rose" is a kind of extension of the same kind.

The best known song is the main theme: "Blade Runner" which belongs to the best of Vangelis. It is fully in line with the grandeur of some great songs from the Greek master and revives the bombastic tradition with skills. It is the best song from this album.

All in all, there aren't many great parts featured on this soundtrack. It is just a combo of tranquil pieces of music. Three stars (but five out of ten is more in line with my view).
