Got to have it. Blade Runner changed my life, I was born in 1979 so wasn't able to appreciate the film until it had been out a good 13 years (I actually saw the director's cut first).

'At Mr Chews', 'Deckard and Roys Duel' and 'Mechanical Toys'. The crown jewels of cd 2 is the sublime 'Desolation Path', which is perhaps evidence that some of Vangelis' best work still remains unreleased and is likely to remain so. As far as the Blade Runner score is concerned,... more info
