BLADE RUNNER (1982)
A Collection Of BLADE RUNNER Soundtracks
in Lossless Audio Quality
The rules of this THREAD are very simple. Feel free to post any of the
various BLADE RUNNER soundtracks BUT only if you have LOSSLESS
quality. The preference would be a CD Rip in FLAC (with LOG and CUE
when possible) but any lossless audio file type is welcome. Please no
lossy formats like MP3 or AAC-LC etc.
The New American Orchestra
Full Moon/WB 23748 2 (1988)
This version is NOT Vangelis. Instead it is an orchestral adaptation
performed by The New American Orchestra. This originally came out
in 1982 and for years was the only version of the soundtrack that
could be commercially bought.

BLADE RUNNER
25th Anniversary Release
Universal Music TV 5305147 (2007)
In 1994 a single disc CD release came out. This was the first time
that the score was commercially available. Then in 2007 this three
disc CD release came out and was called "Blade Runner Trilogy, 25th
Anniversary". Disc one is the same as the 1994 release. Disc two is
"Previously Unreleased Music & Bonus Materials" and is as it sounds:
even more music from the movie. Disc three is "BR 25" and is billed as
"An album with new music, composed by Vangelis for Blade Runner’s
25th anniversary". Again this is a 3 disc CD set and since the first
CD is the same as the single disc CD from 1994 I see no reason to
include that release. Yes this is a big download but you owe it to
yourself as a BLADE RUNNER fan to get this!

THEMES (1989) – VANGELIS
A ‘Greatest Hits’ Collection
Polydor 839518-2 (1989)
This is essentially a ‘greatest hits’ collection. I include it here for one
very important reason. It is the only commercial release that includes
the original version of the track BLADE RUNNER END TITLES as is heard
in the movie. The 1994 single disc CD release and the 2007 three disc
CD release both include this track but it was redone by VANGELIS and
is not the same as the version heard in the film. The version on this CD
is the definitive commercial release of that track!

BLADE RUNNER
The Off World Ltd. Release
Off World Music OWM 9301 (1993)
This is the original unofficial CD release. This is the one that sort of
got the ball rolling. Granted the quality isn’t the best (although not bad)
and it can no longer be considered the definitive version but at the time
this came out it was the greatest thing since sliced bread. A truly great
release that most likely paved the way for the official 1994 edition.

BLADE RUNNER
The GONGO Edition
Gongo Music GM 003 (1995)
This is the 2nd major unofficial bootleg CD of the score (the first being
the "Off World Music Ltd." release in 1993). Both have almost the same
track listing (it is ever-so-slightly different) and neither sound "great" but
the Gongo release does seem to be the better sounding of the two.

I really don’t know much about this one other than it is yet another
fan made bootleg release that came out in 2008 by a group calling
themselves "Spinner Music Ltd."

REFLECTIONS
Music In The Key Of Blade Runner
A Voight-Kampff Production – AVKP001 (2006)
This is a compilation of music by Vangelis that aims to take the listener
on a journey through a multicultural city of the future and the track
selection was chosen to achieve this end as opposed to sounding
‘bladerunner-esque’ per se although it often ‘fits the bill’ as such.

I downloaded this for myself as I am of course a BLADE RUNNER fan and I do appreciate you sharing it but I was hoping that maybe you could comment some on the history of this … where it came from etc.
I mean all I know is that it is 10 unnamed tracks from "the master tapes of BLADE RUNNER"
I’m not doubting you of course … just would like more info about this is all 🙂
Also a big thank you so far to those that have commented and posted. I know steven_24 has at least one more to post and I might be able to get another one to post soon myself.

Anyone else having problems with this one? I get an error of "incorrect password" on many of the files. Downloaded the two files twice to make sure.

Oh, sorry, some of the details were already mentioned in the other BR-thread, so I thought it’d be superfluous to mention it once again here.
Anyway, it appears to be the same as listed here:
http://bladerunner2019.com/home/blade-runner-soundtrack/item/69-10-tracks-from-master-tape.html
"This is really the one that started it all. Disappointed with the New American Orchestra version that was released in 1982, this tape was leaked out by disgruntled fans on the inside. The quality is far surpassed on subsequent boots, but it still holds interest if only as a curiosity and a historical reference."
Though, curiously, I haven’t been able to find any sort of confirmation based on the tracklist alone. It does differ greatly from the "Tapes" version listed on Vangelis-rarities (a site I usually go by for accurate info on bootlegs):

It case anyone needs it here is a link: 7-Zip website (http://anonym.to/?http://www.7zip.com/)

Thanks for the information!
Thanks, FulciLives and the rest of the contributing crew! 😉
Nope, same problem occurs.
I’ll reupload it and zip the two discs as separate 7z files. Hopefully that will work.
The TRULY Ultimate Blade Runner Thread is here.
Cheers.
never imagine I will be able to get Bootlegs from B R in lossless format.
The original GONGO CD i managed to find somewhere years ago:

http://rapidshare.com/files/363314488/Blade_Runner__Gongo_Release_.part2.rar
and Esper Edition Mk2 downloaded from teh usenet years ago:

http://rapidshare.com/files/366014434/Blade_Runner_-_Esper_Edition_MK2_lossless_2CDs_.part4.rar
Thank you very much for your input!
However just to avoid confusion it appears to me that your GONGO is the same as the one I already posted and that your ESPER EDITION is the same as the one already posted by steven_24
However it’s always good to have additional links … think of it as a "mirror"
So thanks again and if anyone else has anything they want to post (in LOSSLESS of course) then please do so!
I’ve checked on internet : it seems a "compilation" of other versions ??! strange…
this version isn’t listed on the web site bladezone… strange …
Does anyone have Blade Runner 2008 in Flac?
I found a torrent for it, but have been stuck for days at 76.9%
Thanks.
Do you mean the bootleg called "S???bastien’s 2008 edition"?
Hello.

Thanks.
I am aware of this release. I have been searching for it but without any luck. I did find a torrent that nobody seems to be seeding … perhaps it is the same one you are stuck on LOL

That’s the one. I did see a seeder once for a few minutes, then they were gone. 🙁
This has been added to my earlier post (2nd post in the thread).
Please Enjoy!
Check The Blade Runner Soundtracks Ultimate Thread if you wish…
I don’t have the CD but the version I have posted was ripped with EAC and the included LOG file seems to indicate that no ripping errors happened.
So I dunno but that’s all I got. The two "glitches" in question only last a split second each and frankly while it is kewl to have this version (as it was the very first unofficial CD bootleg) it is NOT the best version of the soundtrack so … it is what it is.
It seems to have more dynamic compared to the off-world version. I tried to get rid of the tape hiss… but ended up with something totally different. Tracklist in case it may need 🙂
Thanks for it!

Well I just double checked and all of my links are still alive. I’ll see if I can get steven_24 to double check his links and fix any that are dead.
Where should I start?
I have the esper edition, but is the MR3 worth more in content?

thanks again ! 🙂
Not to mention the ones posted someplace else 🙂
First of all.. thanks for all those uploads, they are awesome.
It is a pity but all those Blade Runner editions i have in lossless are already uploaded, sorry 🙁
But i would like to ask two things.
First, if that Esper Edition that is in the first page of the thread is the same that Esper Edition MK2, the one at the end of that same page.
Second, If not, could someone re-upload that normal first Esper Edition and MR3 again? 🙂 Thanks.
Cheers!!
Here is the "Silver Edition" from Grey Fedora in FLAC.

Well, they are pretty similiar, the MKII being a repackage of the original Esper concept though… but to put it like someone called Larcus has pointed out:
"This MK2 Edition is in practice the same as the original 2CD Esper Edition, the main difference is the different song cut. I opened songs from both editions in a sound editor and listened to them, on the MK2 edition some sound is moved from one song to the next or the previous.
e.g.: 40 seconds "Sushi Bar" were moved from the beginning of "Damask Rose" to the end of "Leon’s Voight Kampff Test".
e.g.: 60 seconds from the end of "I Am The Business" were moved to the beginning of "Love Theme".
The "I Dreamt Music (Alternate Love Theme) (4:22)" sond is a more clear version with less noise and it does not have the speech of Deckard and Rachel.
Also "End Titles (Extended Version)" has some sound repeated to increase the song length which makes the song a bit too long (gets boring). This song could be a remix of "End Titles" from the original Esper Edition but is of lower sound quality.
Besides the song "I Dreamt Music (Alternate Love Theme)" there is no reason to use this version instead of the original Esper Edition. Though this MK2 Version seems to be widely sold on ebay. Anyways, both of them are fan made and can be gotten for free by various sources. "
Are those links dead then?
On www.br2019.com you might find some useful tips to get what you are after 🙂 Good luck!
And yep, the links are dead, but i will try to get those editions somehow.
Thankssss!!!

I hope you sort it out to get it okay.

I second that! I’ve always told him 🙂
Unknown BR album from FIC source in flac.
It gets frustating when something that was shared not too long ago gets stripped down of any basic information because any peer of good will could not be bothered do it properly. Why on earth informations get lost in the digital era I cannot tell… BUT I DO THANK OUR PEER OF GOOD WILL FOR HIS EFFORTS TO DO IT FOR EVERYBODY’ SAKE!
Thanks Zhora 🙂

Hi DC,
Any uploads that I send DO have all the information that I have available. If I post something without any details, it is only because that is how I got it originally. Likewise in my mp3s that I upload to the BR related thread. If it says artist unknown, that is because whoever originally uploaded the music did not take the time to include a name on the file. I hope this explains my situation regarding historical details.
In short: If I get any information with the music, I will share all that I know. If it came without information then there is nothing I can do.
Regards, Zhora.
Well.. listening to Blade runner … makes me wish a sequel to blade runner.
With the power of computers (for the FX..), nowadays, it would be amazing !
and since we have the book "Blade Runner 2" from K.W. Jeter ….

A while ago a link to yet another version of the very same soundtrack was to be found thanks to a very kind peer’s tip. I was pretty happy at having found something I did not yet have and I was more than ready to share it for the sake of the hungry Blade Runner peers around, but after having listened to it very closely I realized why in the name of common sharing sense this had not surfaced before, though it is being shared on private forums perhaps.
Was it possible that the last person to get things was the first one to spot the hidden treasures among sharers? Yes, it happened on a couple of occasions. But no, it simply had not this time, and had to be not for what it matters. The unknown peer had just took some compressed mp3, edited them as audio and reshared the joke as lossless with a nice alternate cover.
He is probably having a laught I suspect, considering that the very same edits got to be re-done from the originals he took his compressed sources (the official 1994 edition) and some other cues re-worked (or cloned according to the official ones from the 1993 Off-World edition) as to match the official sources made available for us from Vangelis itself. A couple of edits might have been lifted directly from the movie including the sound effects. One track got to be remixed to make this release unique 🙂
Eventually he decided to call it ultimate version though it is far from being so in my opinion. This new version (dubbed MR2 Edition to avoid confusion with the original work shared by our unknown peer) was fixed bit by bit since the concept (though already used with previous Blade Runner boots) was partly good in a way. Perhaps it was done in a good faith with the (used and abused) purpose of preserving his favourite soundtrack, but definitely not properly.
Maybe it was only a waste of time fixing this properly, but surely something interesting (like a different version of Pompeii 76 A.D. for example) might be found in between the edits. Another example is "Blade Runner Blues" (that got its name changed according to our unknown peer’s taste as most of the original track titles) that was wickedly edited as one longer track off the scenes featuring its music. Who knows! And yes, I know. The cake is good too.
Isn’t it? I trust he’ll know what I mean!
A short story is also included if you can figure out how to open the .nfo file 🙂
A special thank to Steven for the help… the Fifth Sector Radio Station has officially announced that he’s one of the lucky b(dots) that is getting the MR3 as well!

This is an attempt to a remastered version of cues originally available only on tape and largely circulating in a different form here collected as a whole. Contains previously available material in a slightly improved and enhanced form including the unavoidable tape hiss minus a few annoying clicks. Even if this is a not a special limited edition release, it is not licenced for public sale. The majority of those private releases are archives of unreleased material and are not for public sale but for archival purposes only.
Includes a re-work of the 10 tracks master tape originally uploaded by Synaptyx at www.br2019.com and also posted here by Rob The Great. Thanks very much for the sources!
The bonus disc contains the Blade Runner Soundtrack Outtakes.

This is an attempt to a remastered version of cues originally available only on tape and moderately circulating on cd in a semi-official form (formerly collected for a fan-made edition). Contains previously available material in an improved and enhanced form (including what was left of the unavoidable tape hiss after the denoising stage minus a couple of annoying clicks). This is not a special limited edition release and is not licenced for public sale. The original version was an unofficial release and was intented for public sale. This should remain a private release of unreleased material purely for archival purposes and should not be intended in any way for other purposes.
A good excuse to see if the Off-World and Gongo sources could sound better without leaving out the sub-par audio quality they were originally having (I liked that!).
For this I have to thanks Christian at the Yahoo Group really. The sources I ended up fixing to get to this version eventually were used for the Nexus Version Volume 3 release courtesy of… well, he has already posted the cd Christian had kindly burned for him… I trust he does not need further introductions! You may find more at www.br2019.com if you wish 🙂
Thank you for what you have shared for us all.

This is a custom release: Full Off-World (a.k.a. Nexus 6 Vol 1) and the full Gongo (a.k.a. Nexus 6 Vol 2) in a single release – the Gongo is a repackaging of the Off-World minus a track and plus a different track – and by adding Qu’ran off the first vinyl transfer we will achieve "Vangelis – Blade Runner – Nexus 6 – Vol 3." 🙂
Those damn hackers released another soundtrack overnight 😉 And it does not sound too bad either… Well, it does sound like the Off World and Gongo actually, but If I Didn’t Care & Bicycle Riders sound cleaner here… The original version of Qu’ran from the workprint is also present… plus this does not seem to have the clicks and glitches of the Off World version floating around…
Special thanks to Synaptyx and JacKc for the Pris’ artworks 🙂
Note:
The Off World version posted on page 1 by FulciLives unfortunately has some issues as the original upload since the source cd (a copy of the original) has deteriorated with time I’m afraid. Fortunately it was shared before getting unplayable. The following issues were fixed for this release:
Track 07 had a click at 6’07" min
Track 09 had 2 clicks at around 2’49" min
Track 10 had 3 pops at around 3’03" min plus some small glitches all over the song
Track 11 had 2 clicks at 0’32" sec and 0’33" sec
Track 14 had a defect at 7’23" min
Track 17 had a defect at 2’32" min

A few words need to be added before going lossless. We would like to remind that you should not make profit off what it is not your own. The reason to be of this releases is for a better archival purpose only. Be responsible in giving back what you had for free. Consider sharing back what was shared of old if you care. We are only left with what we share eventually. The more accurately (read properly) the better for the peers-to-be.
Needless to remind to decompress to WAV first (preferred). Cue sheet with CD-Text info is included (suggested). Multiple WAV Files With Gaps (Noncompliant) if you know your tools. http://www.burrrn.net/?page_id=4 for example. Burn at 4x speed (always) with no pause between tracks otherwise.

P.S. If anybody want it to, I could re-pack so-called "Nexus 6 Vol.1" and "Nexus 6 Vol.2" releases in *FLAC and also – I could re-sell *.ac3 5.1 audiotrack from original version of the movie (1982). For what purpose? Just mux-out 2 dialog layers, mix other 4 in stereo, and you’ll get famous "FIC Release", but only "revisited" 😉

The songs included in the Blade Runner – Nexus 6 Version Volume 3 were fixed from that release… but if you do have the original cd it would be nice having an audio rip off a better sound sorce…

I am meaning the first edition of it, the 78 min 43 sec and the 78 min 07 sec long of the version included in the Blade Runner – MR3 Edition.
Never mind the maimed Blade Runner – Esper Retirement Edition version as it was heavily edited and bits totalling minutes are missing.
Plus someone has probably swapped the Los Angeles November 2019 discs I was having since the durations on the MR3 should be of the original limited version while the durations listed on the original version are from the MR3 edition on my mp3 backups… the only ones I was left. 🙁

Hi DC!
???ste disco nace a partir de un "plan limpieza" de cientos de archivos en variados formatos y calidades. En fin, como dec???a, se procedi??? a seleccionar lo "menos malo" posible y, luego de trabajar en algunos detalles y fallos… el resultado es dicho disco. Espero que alg???n d???a Frank edite su obra completa, con una calidad de audio acorde y, seg???n estimaciones (m???as) podr???a llegar a contener 40 tracks, aproximadamente. Hasta ese momento, al menos yo, me conformar??? con esto.
Saludos!
PD: No olvid???is desechar las versiones anteriores de los covers de 1993 OWM y Esper MK2. Las actuales que os pas??? son las "definitivas" (vaya uno a saber hasta cuando… http://www.zarqdag.net/masters/hihi.gif).

I could not spot the errors you were meaning at a first glance… typo errors? Which ones exactly?
And I’m afraid there might be still errors since the credits in the back cover are wrong 🙂
The credits on the Los Angeles November 2019 album perhaps had better to be as follows:
Original music on tracks 6‚ 7‚ 10‚ 11 and 12 composed and performed by Vangelis.
Additional music on tracks 2 and 8 written and performed by Frank Klepacki.
"Moments In Time" on track 3 written and performed by Meero.
"Harps of the Ancient Temples" on track 9 written and performed by Gail Laughton.
Voice on the Off-World colonies ad by Dwight Okahara.
I/we would be grateful if you could fix that as well on an alternate custom version of it if possible!
Regards, DC
Hi DC!
En la 1??? edici???n…
…donde dice "Twenty-Fifth Sector – Tryell Corporation", debe decir "…Tyrell…"
…donde dice "Seventh Sector – Apartment 9726", debe decir "…9732"
…donde dice "Seventh Sector – Apartment 9726 (Reprise)", debe decir "…9732…"
Para una 2??? edici???n las cosas fueron mejor, ??? "menos mal" ya que…
…donde dice "Twenty-Fifth Sector – Tryell Corporation", debe decir "…Tyrell…"
En los covers re-creados solo se tuvo en cuenta la 1??? edici???n.
Sobre los cr???ditos incompletos (muy pobres) y no muy bien estructurados, s???, pens??? en hacer algo similar a lo que propones, pero me di??? "cosa" manosear tanto la obra original.
De tener que "mejorar y corregir", mejor comenzamos por la primera, aquella OWM de 1993; donde dice "One More Kiss Dear", debiera decir "One More Kiss, Dear", y seguir???amos por horas… d???as… a???os… jeje (si os fij???is en el cover re-creado, podr???s ver que se respet??? ese detalle de la obra original).
Igual ver??? en que versi???n incluir unos cr???ditos m???s completos para "Los Angeles…".
???Y si hacemos una re-edici???n 2010 Lossless+Cue+Covers?, creo ser???a lo correcto.

Thanks for the release! 🙂
Some extra comment (included in the post) is always welcome!…
Esta versi???n/edici???n nace hace alg???n tiempo y casi de casualidad. En cierta ocasi???n estaba viendo el DVD N???5 de "Blade Runner – Ultimate Collector’s Edition", y dentro de ???ste hay una secci???n titulada "Deleted and Alternate Scenes". Pues bien, justamente al comenzar dicha selecci???n, deb??? realizar otras tareas, raz???n por la cual solo pod???a escuchar el audio de "Deleted and…", me pareci??? exquisito, con grandes variantes y diferencias.
Supe que el d???a que juntara ganas, har???a el CD.
Tiempo despu???s proced??? a extraer dicho audio, "maquillarlo", etc… y as??? sali??? a la luz ???ste disco. Lamentablemente la calidad del audio no es ???ptima (como me gustar???a que fuese) pero es bastante aceptable.
Saludos!
Where should I start?
I have the esper edition, but is the MR3 worth more in content?
AHHHHH!
The Final Mix is the most entry-level one, it’s one long Blade Runner soundscape, tracks mix very well into each other.

But if you dont mind me asking, what is the difference with the original Esper Album? Or in other words, what do you want to mean with "2010 Reissue"?
anyway, again thank you a lot. 🙂
The Los Angeles November 2019 (2010 reissue) is n??? P104 (which means the fourth of the catalogue)…What about the Soundtrack "Blade Runner" The Final Cut – P-103IE from Pendor? Any release will come?

Thanks for the info and shares, Zhora.
Have a better one!
Or in other words, what do you want to mean with "2010 Reissue"?
Basically there is only one version of the "Los Angeles, November 2019"… (speaking of lossless as this thread got us used to) which is the audio version most of us know but originating from the decoded mp3’s to wav originally posted on newsgroups in 2003.
In 2005 a clever sound engineer decided to correct the version floating around getting rid of the annoying encoder frames added to the start and end of the track since you might be aware what this means when dealing with livesets or continuous audio material… (the gapless playback option was not as trendy as in these days back then…)
The guy anyway omitted about 30 seconds of the actual audio on it in the editing.
Then the people behind the Esper MR3 in 2005, about the same period, furthered the correction process of the audio posted on the newsgroups restoring the missing 30 seconds but changing some of the original dynamics to gain some headroom at a digital stage.
Some might be content with the version on the Esper MR3… both Guilli and I were not.
We have talked about the approach to take on this project and we eventually decided for different approaches.
With this you are getting the original match as posted in 2005 but with some corrections… unless he decided to work on the original sources.
EDIT: YES! HE DID WORK ON THE 2003 VERSION 🙂
As far as for me I’d like to post a remastered take from the 2003 version if it will prove worth the efforts in the studio…
This is the Pendor take on it in 2010… hence the 2010 reissue… and since we’re trying to fix mp3’s there is no point in decoding the sources back to mp3’s (which is no good)… hence the audio version posted by Guilli…
I’m afraid this is still kept as a best kept secret… and no such thing as a lossless version of the "Los Angeles, November 2019" album was ever shared publicly…

Los originales dados a conocer (p???blica y popularmente) all??? por 2003 fueron ripeados por el mism???simo Dr. Frankenstein; la generaci???n del CUE da?????? severamente las "uniones" de los tracks generando gaps & clicks, muy pero muy molestos y desagradables dado que esta obra, "Los Angeles…" fue concebida b???sicamente para ser escuchada como si se tratase de un ???nico y largo track; imposible hacerlo al menos muy placenteramente con esos "stickers" d???ndonos aviso de las transiciones entre tracks.
Es por ello que se ha procedido a eliminar dichas zonas "muertas" pero, a diferencia de en las ediciones anteriores (y conocidas) sin da???ar el audio ni modificar la din???mica de la amplitud ni duraci???n de los tracks (en tiempo), adem???s se eliminaron muchos clicks generados por el p???simo soft utilizado para la generaci???n del CUE y, por ???ltimo y aprovechando la edici???n, se elev??? la amplitud algunos dB’s.
En los covers se agreg??? informaci???n extra en los cr???ditos y que jam???s se incluy??? en la versi???n original de 2003.
En fin, es el resulado de "lo menos malo" que hemos podido hacer.
Posiblemente se publique otra versi???n, un tanto m???s libre, con un CUE m???s acorde al comienzo y final de cada uno de los supuestos tracks, o sea: como a mi me habr???a gustado que fuese originalmente. Los covers para esta versi???n (s??? DC, no me he olvidado de ello, jeje) tambi???n ser???n m???s libres y relacionados tanto al film como al video game de 1997, l???gico.

This is an Audio DVD of "The Final Cut" in HD DVD quality 96kHz/24bits… and no, it is not the full movie… at least if you mean it with the "visuals" included 🙂
No, Deposit Files is a bad hosting service. After complete download part 1, before dowload part 2 i expect 4 hours
DEMENZIALE
Deposit Files is as bad can get any other storage server unless you apply for a paid account I’m afraid… Megaupload has pretty the same policy plus the files do not show on their servers before a couple of hours if sometimes… I’ll tell you a trick… but do not tell anybody 😉 Promise?
After you have downloaded the content of a link… if you are "asked" to wait 2 hours before downloading another link… just unplug the dsl cable from the socket on the wall… have a quick sandwich… and when you return make sure you delete any temporary files from your browser including the cookies before reconnecting… and as for magic you won’t be asked to wait that much to get another link 🙂
Waiting sucks… but if you just cannot wait you should be able to walk around that… hope everybody got the message 🙂
We are dealing with a DVD image… so please be patient since 4GB will always take a lot to complete anyway.

First of all a belated Merry Christmas to everybody and I hope you all had a lovely time with your families and friends. I have been reading all the posts from the different Blade Runner soundtrack threads and I am now a bit confused with all the various releases. There are so many! My question is, what is the best of the Esper Editions as far as the original soundtrack is concerned? The original 2CD Esper Edition, the Esper Edition MK2, the Esper Edition MR3 (Disc 1 and 2 only because I am purely talking about the original soundtrack not the extra bonus material and remixes) or the Esper Retirement Edition (Disc 1 and 2 only for the same reasons as per the MR3)? I know that it is very difficult to make a definitive choice but I would like to know which one of these 4 versions of the original soundtrack is overall the best. Also, how does the 2019 Edition compare? From my understanding it seems to be a companion to the various Esper versions of the original soundtrack. Am I wrong? Are the various Esper Editions the best representation of the original soundtrack anyway? Finally I have noticed that there are links in the various posts to the lossless versions of all the titles that I have mentioned except for the first original Esper Edition. Regardless of how it fares compared to the other versions I would like to have it for historical reasons. Would someone be so kind to post a link to a true lossless original Esper Edition then? Thank you very much in advance for your help and I wish you all a fantastic 2011.

=> APE+Covers (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=SXAD6DB8)
The original 2CD Esper Edition you’re after was also included on the Esper Edition MK2, on the Esper Edition MR3 (Disc 1 and 2 if you don’t want the extra bonus material and remixes) and on the Esper Retirement Edition (Disc 1 and 2 only for the same reasons as per the MR3)… more or less… there are small differences in the edits on the different Esper versions… (the Retirement being just "different" and "maimed" in a way) but you might not notice that much perhaps. As a personal advice just grab the whole packages that might be still around (MR3 in primis) and have a deep listen! 🙂
How does the 2019 Edition compare?
The 2019 Edition is totally different since it was sourced from the the 640 kbs 5.1 rip of the movie but there are some nice alternatives like The Final Mix, Complete Score and The Sound Of Blade Runner Definitive Edition in better quality on some instances… The 2019 is more musically pure in its fashion while the Esper has a continuous flow. It pretty stands on it own in my opinion. Everything that was being posted here is a companion to the various Esper versions if you like to put it in that way.
Are the various Esper Editions the best representation of the original soundtrack anyway?
Well… everyone around here might think diffently on the subject. I think no. It used to be a best representation of it… but as I said there are some nice alternatives as well 😉
Good luck and Happy New Year!

Thank you so much for your exhaustive, detailed and very helpful reply, you really made an effort and I really appreciate it. I have a few more questions and I hope that you don’t mind.
I know the difference between Esper original release and Esper MK2 (as explained in your post #70 on page 3 of this thread) but I don’t know the difference between Esper MK2 and Esper MR3 Disc 1 and 2. Are Disc 1 and 2 on the Esper MR3 identical to Esper MK2 or are they different? If they are different what are the differences? From my understanding Esper MR3 is basically an expanded version of Esper MK2 containing the same material on disc 1 and 2 plus two extra discs of additional material (disc 3 and 4). Am I correct?
You recommended The Final Mix, Complete Score or The Sound Of Blade Runner Definitive Edition over the 2019 Editon because of better sound quality, are there any other significant differences? Also, are these three releases the same but with different titles or are they actually different? If they are different which one is the best in your opinion?
Finally, what is the best compilation of outtakes and unreleased tracks (original recordings and original mixes by Vangelis only)?
Thank you for your patience.

Hi dvd65,
One thing I do like on the Esper Retirement Edition is that they, at least, tried to fix the horrible timing glitches on "Taffy’s Bar" track. There is also a few small things that are only on this version.
I also recommend Sebastien’s 2008 edition as well as The Sound Of Blade Runner 2010 DE. They are both 2 disc sets and both remarkably different from each other.
Welcome.
Zhora.
but not in a corny way i really find it soothing
Thank you for your reply, very kind of you to take the time. I didn’t consider the Esper Retirement Edition (disc 1 and 2 only) as my Esper of choice simply because dadadacicici said that it is maimed so I was considering MK2 or MR3 (disc 1 and 2 only) as my pick with a preference towards MK2 given that I believe that they are identical (correct me if I am wrong). If you say that Retirement (disc 1 and 2) is the best of all the Espers I will make it my choice. I have noticed that there is a very nice post from you to a lossless version of it so thank you for that. Thank you also for recommending Sebastien’s 2008 and The Sound of Blade Runner 2010 DE. You said that they are remarkably different so would you be so kind to tell me what the main differences are? Do both titles contain original 1982 recordings and mixes by Vangelis? I am a bit confused about The Sound Of Blade Runner 2010 DE because you said that is a 2 CD set but I have seen a post from you to a CD 4 in lossless format. Is The Sound Of Blade Runner 2010 DE a 2 or 4 disc set? Thank you for your help.
Are Disc 1 and 2 on the Esper MR3 identical to Esper MK2 or are they different? If they are different what are the differences? From my understanding Esper MR3 is basically an expanded version of Esper MK2 containing the same material on disc 1 and 2 plus two extra discs of additional material (disc 3 and 4). Am I correct?
They are identical (even if they are not). The music included on both editions is the same anyway, the MR3 add a little something but not much. The track indexing is different for a start. MR3 has two extra discs… but you seem not interested much on those (still… grab whatever you might still get and have a listen to it). The version on the Esper Retirement should be the same except that the Prologue (initial part of Main Titles) is missing. That’s why I would go for the MR3. The version on the Esper Retirement sounds different to the original mix anyway. I still prefer the original mix rather than the stereo effect added on the original mix on the Retirement… but on that the final judgement will have to be yours. It’s a matter of how it sounds best for you…
You recommended The Final Mix, Complete Score or The Sound Of Blade Runner Definitive Edition over the 2019 Editon because of better sound quality, are there any other significant differences? Also, are these three releases the same but with different titles or are they actually different? If they are different which one is the best in your opinion?
Well, I did recommend some alternatives to the 2019 edition but they all differs in what the producers beyond these editions wanted to achieve.
The Sound Of Blade Runner by Vincente (Definitive Edition 3CD Set—CD4 being a not-so-official disc of an unofficial release as far as I know—) is not mixed, same for most songs on the Complete Score which was based on The Sound Of Blade Runner in a way but adding something off the Esper concept… The Final Mix cleverly mixed the official Trilogy version with the 5.1 rip while the 2019 only included mainly the 5.1 mix.
Finally, what is the best compilation of outtakes and unreleased tracks (original recordings and original mixes by Vangelis only)?
As Steven has pointed out also the 2008 Edition by Sebastian is a nice alternative and more close to the Gongo/Off-World concept making it a quite good compilation of outtakes and unreleased tracks since it is not mixed and the songs are cleverly edited too.
All of the aforementioned releases do contain original 1982 recordings and mixes by Vangelis (et all).
The Sound Of Blade Runner 2CD set is not to be confused with The Sound Of Blade Runner Definitive Edition 3CD Set. The former should be mixed while the latter was the expanded version coming off the first one.
I will just listen to all of them when in the mood for it… we are being graced with the chance of choosing which one to listen to and I listen to all all them randomly 🙂
Why should I choose something when I simply have already everything? 😉
As I said… grab them while they are still here… I’ve already witnessed to stuff disappearing when everybody else seems to have it.. and we cannot possibly be around for most of our lifetime 🙂
The choice is yours!
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY! 🙂
hello! which one? i cant find. thx.
Would anybody be able to upload Sebastian’s 2008 Edition and the Grey Fedora All Those Moments in lossless somewhere? I’ve been sat on the 2008 torrent from br2019.com for a while but no seeders have shown up for several days. Would be really appreciated if I could get both of these.
Thanks in advance,
Rog
dadadacicici, I totally understand when you say that one should listen to and grab everything and that is what I would normally do except that I don’t want to listen to everything related to the Blade Runner soundtrack. Don’t get me wrong, I do love the soundtrack (and the movie) as much as you all do but I am not as involved as you are, I simply have a different relationship with it that although not casual is certainly less deep and complex than yours. I listen constantly to a considerable amount of music, both for work and (mostly) for pleasure, so I really wanted to save myself having to go through countless versions of basically the same recordings to compare them all. I just wanted to keep it simple and adopt a fresh approach, as opposed to a rather analytical one. Pick the key and truly essential releases then just listen to them and enjoy. That is why I decided to rely on your invaluable knowledge and expertise and started to ask lots of questions (sorry about that…) in order to understand which of these many recordings would be the best ones for me, according to my specific preferences. dadadacicici and Zhora, you succeeded 100% and you really helped me with my choice so thank you very, very much. Please let me know if there is anything I can do in return.
Based on your recommendations and my own preferences this is my final choice:
-Esper Edition MR3
-The Sound Of Blade Runner 2010 Definitive Edition
-Sebastien’s 2008 Edition
-The Final Mix
These will do really nicely, especially considering that I also own all the official releases on the original CDs.
Finally, after all my questions and bothering everybody there is one "minor" problem… how do I get them? Except for The Final Mix, that was posted at the beginning of this thread, I cannot find any of the other three titles (well at least not in a lossless format) and I have looked everywhere. Does anybody have the links to the lossless audio files of the Esper Edition MR3, The Sound Of Blade Runner 2010 Definitive Edition and the Sebastien’s 2008 Edition?
Again, thank you very much to whomever will be able to help.
Happy New Year to everybody.

Someone has gone through countless versions of basically the same recordings to compare them all as you would put it.
This was based on the releases you’re after if you wish to have something that sort has it all. It is not sequenced… not all of the songs at least.
For the rest of the releases if you still feel you need them have a look at Blade Runner 2019 (http://www.br2019.com) in the Audio folder on the Downloads section.
Would anybody be able to upload Sebastian’s 2008 Edition and the Grey Fedora All Those Moments in lossless somewhere? I’ve been sat on the 2008 torrent from br2019.com for a while but no seeders have shown up for several days. Would be really appreciated if I could get both of these.

Perhaps you have burned a copy decoded to wav since the quality on this is nearly perfect (if you leave out the edited milliseconds I mean)… this should not have that really… at least not in the way you are putting it…

… You guys are making me envious… so I am posting a fix to track 1 off the Esper Retirement not to get kicked out of the circle of the uploaders 🙂
01 – Prologue and Main Titles (01 Esper Retirement cd1 Fixed v2).rar (http://www.mediafire.com/?3ufrx835xo1y4j2)
Also thanks to everybody for making me so envious with all the additions to the thread!
But a well earned thank you goes to Jack for sharing the workprint of The Sound Of Blade Runner really 😉
No, I have it here. A genuine, factory-pressed CD … no doubt about that. I was just responding to the senseless post of xchullit and tried to ask that way whether the source material for the deck-art release has these veeery slight pauses, too.
I realized what you were saying only reading back your post… I think I know what you’re meaning… and yes… it has that since the wave editors back in end of 1998 weren’t that smooth… but that comes with the release anyway. The pre-master did not have much of those issues though… There’s should be a bootleg edit of the Deck Art release containing only the M???moires 7 release (without the bonus tracks added to the Deck Art remastering I mean) floating around… cannot locate the links at the moment…
If you happen to have the M???moires 7 (or the Struzan Beta pre-master bootleg) it would be nice comparing the differences! 🙂
As for Xchullit… I guess that he was meaning that he had that already! 😉
Shall we get an english teacher for Guilli and Xchullit then? Let’s vote! 🙂

That should replace both tracks when burning a cd if you wish! 🙂
I did that since the only version we have of the Retirement Edition has that missing intro left out… either the collector ripping it has made that on purpose either the Retirement team was careless about it… the one I have posted is the one that I promised to a couple of friends… hope it will be useful for everybody until the guys behind the Esper Retirement will be kind enough to share the proper version of it… it could have been done much better with a full analogue gear support… but I do not like much fixing other’s people mess… (someone has already took the time to fix plenty of it in the mp3 version of that) and they have done a lot of it in the Esper Retirement… and not when they did not care much about it… you should not pay 200 quids for that really… 🙁

Hi Terryscifi,
The track 1 with the beginning missing is how it came on the cd.
The other track 1 that I originally uploaded has the intro restored from an earlier album. Just the first part has been restored and the rest of the track is still the Retirement Edition version.
If DC’s fix is better than mine then by all means use his.
Best wishes, Zhora.
Kind regards to you and all on the site.
Terryscifi
… and always keep the original version as posted by Zhora as well… you’ll never know! 😉

This has to have the worst DC offset I could ever witness… cannot believe how the guys behind the MR3 could go that low… but the release in itself is pretty interesting afterall 🙂
Thanks very much!
You’ve got the same idea as me as i’ve also made some recreated covers for the BR Esper MR3…

Hi Zoran,
I think that Guilli meant that in Argentina where he lives, Deposit Files site is faster than the other file hosting sites that we find faster. That is my interpretation anyway 🙂
Thanks to Guilli for these excellent shares anyway.
And of course to everyone else that has been so generous also.
Best wishes, Zhora.
You’ve got the same idea as me as i’ve also made some recreated covers for the BR Esper MR3…I think you have a much better photographic source than me, JacKc. 🙂 Would you mind linking us to a full res version of your cover?
That will be a nice team work really! 😉
Oh, by the way… when burning the MR3 if you get a chance to load a plug-in like Ozone… switch the DC filter on! Only the filter not the module 🙂

No problem, Terry. 😉 Just uploading all 7 RAR parts of Esper MR3 – Or you can nip over and I’ll burn you a copy, now. 😀
Thanks for taking the time and energy to upload these! Here’s the spectral analysis for some of the files, just FYI. It appears that the bootlegger’s sources where a mixture of legit and transcodes. The transcodes could still be from bad sources, but I do not think that old sources had a 16.5kHz cutoff, which is indicative of 128kbps mp3s. Well, the third disc (LA 2019) is a game rip, so I am not surprised that there’s a 16.4kHz cutoff, but I wish someone sourced it better since I’ve been looking for a better copy to replace my 192kbps (though likely transcoded or badly sourced) copy for a few years. All of the ESPER lossless 2019 rips I’ve encountered exhibit the same 16.4kHz cutoff.

For the third disc: "Los Angeles 2019", have a look at http://forums.ffshrine.org/f92/blade-runner-soundtracks-ultimate-thread-72496/16.html#post1587774
This is the only good quality mp3 rip of the initial numbered limited copies of the album… and also the source for every other release that followed up to the latest Pendor re-released and re-indexed versions (also present here if you look for it).
As far for the Esper (or better for the people that opted for the quick cash option of the follow-ups)… they subsequently changed the sources of their versions according to the sources they were having… and yes… some were only badly encoded mp3’s up to better sources as the Trilogy 25th official version of the Esper Retirement… most of those are to be found also here and it will not take much to sequence all the tracks in the right order to get both MK2 and MR3 in definitely better quality as I did by accident a while ago 😉 …but they will inevitably do that for the 30th anniversary of the soundtrack I’m sure. 🙂
We cannot possibly do all the dirty job for them sharks! 😉
Without going too much into details I’m afraid I’ve inadvertitely already done that for the Retirement Edition unfortunately… 🙁
We are trying to preserve these editions in the only way we believe is for the best. Please do respect honest peers’ work. I feel pressed to remind that you should not make profit off what it is not your own. The reason to be of these releases is for a better archival purpose only. Be responsible in giving back what you had for free. Consider sharing back what was shared of old. We are only left with what we share eventually. The more accurately (read properly) the better for the peers-to-be.

I have a small technical question for those of you who create alternate covers… I have managed to find literally hundreds of Blade Runner inspired fonts, but I am somehow unable to find the one used for the tracklist & text on the Esper Edition covers (and on many other releases, like "Sound of Blade Runner", "All those moments", etc.)
Could anybody tell me the name of this font ?

All right… I will give you a small hint… but as a rule of thumb do please start reading from the first page to the last… or the other way round if you wish… do get armed with something called patience… and do get a nice download manager such as Jdownloader in the meanwhile (it will work with most of the links published here… except some links which might need to be downloaded by hand if the program will show some error)… http://forums.ffshrine.org/f92/do-androids-dream-lossless-audio-files-blade-75274/3.html#post1513496

I’m sorry that I didn’t listen to this before uploading it. If I had known that the sound was so terrible I wouldn’t have uploaded it. I don’t know whether it’s worth the trouble to upload disc 2 since they are obviously not lossless after all. Anybody here really want a fake lossless copy of disc 2? The mp3 versions probably sound better.

Hi Zhora!
No te preocupes, es muy posible que esas sean copias fieles y "LOSSLESS" pero, de algo que jam???s fue lossless. Hace alg???n tiempo tuve en mi poder ambos discos, supuestamente en lossless -y hasta podr???a ratificarlo cualquier programa detector/escudri???ador-… lo que han hecho es un ENGA???O (idem barcode covers) al utilizar un "bucle" anal???gico para convertir un p???simo MP3 (128… a lo sumo 192kbps, pero dudo) en wav. O sea: una aut???ntica porquer???a!
Con haber dado a conocer el Disc One, creo, es suficiente como para que se sepa tal enga???o.
No hay mal que por bien no venga ;).
Deber???amos hacer una "lista negra" de los "Blade Runner Soundtracks"…
1??? Vangelis / Blade Runner – 20th Anniversary Edition (??? 2002 Off World Music???, Ltd.)
(Limited Edition OWM2K 2019), todo falso! Un trabajo realizado por "Juan Topo".
2??? Vangelis / Blade Runner – Esper MK2 Edition (??? 2003 Unknown), sencillo: la original obra "Esper Edition" de 2002 con audio agregado (versiones ‘extended’). Sonido muy muy pobre y una vez m???s tomando el nombre de Esper Productions cuando en realidad el verdadero autor se llama "Cosme Fulanito" ;).
3??? Various Artists / Blade Runner – Esper Definitive Collectors Edition (MR3) (??? 2005 Esper Productions???), lossless, pero un trabajo muy descuidado, adem???s de no ser el verdadero "Esper Team". El autor es "Dirty Harry".
4??? Various Artists / Blade Runner – Esper ‘Retirement’ Edition (25th Anniversary Culmination) (??? 2007 Esper Productions???), tambi???n lossless pero, nuevamente una obra desprolija y con varios errores. Tampoco fue realizada por el verdadero equipo Esper Productions, sin??? por "Dirty Harry".

This is the log for "Blade Runner – 20th Anniversary Edition" (Disc 1):
<a target=’_blank’ href=’http://img208.imageshack.us/i/disc1u.jpg/‘><img src=’‘ border=’0’/></a>
The songs showing as MPEG’s might have a high cut filter on them or simply not using too much high frequencies content.
If you record your drum machine and soft synth you might get the same kind of analysis for your material showing as not lossess… that is a limitation of the software actually…
EDIT: Tracks 5 & 6 were sourced from mp3 I’m afraid. After a deep analisys and comparisons with the Off World/Gongo edition (where most of the songs were taken from) and the Official 1994 Edition, I can confirm that only two tracks out of 25 are not what we might have expected… 🙁

<a target=’_blank’ href=’http://img16.imageshack.us/i/disc2lu.jpg/‘><img src=’‘ border=’0’/></a>
You should upload also Disc 2.
I might upload the remastered version I did a while ago in due time… but that will not be the original I have used to get to quality of my personal copy.
The quality is as bad as the sources (original Off World release) for most of the tracks while it gets as good as the sources for the tracks taken off the official 1994 release.
If you compare the Off World release tracks with the ones included here they should be the same.
Don’t worry, it is likely that these are copies and "lossless" but of something that never was lossless. Some time ago I was having both discs, supposedly lossless-and may even proven by any program detector/analyzer- … what they have done is a HOAX (as they did for the barcode covers) to use a "loop" to turn a lousy analog MP3 (128 … at most 192kbps, but I doubt) to wav. That is, a real crap!
Perhaps the copy Guilli was having was not the original Zhora had it copied from…
The one currently posted by Zhora is as good as the original I’m afraid. See logs. 😉
I have now added a link to Disc 2 of the OWM 20th Anniversary Ltd Edition album. Post #293 on page 12 of this thread.

As a collector you owe to download the whole thing I’m afraid… So do get the whole Esper Retirement Edition (go for the version fixed by Pendor or if you are the most purist type of collector do get the original as provided by Zhora… and do not forget to add to it the fix for Main Titles posted a while back)…
The proliferation of Blade Runner soundtrack cd’s is mond boggling now.
Oh well… you haven’t seen what is coming next then! 🙂
"29th Anniversary Edition", "Chinatown Club Definitive/Ultimate", "Tales Of The Future"…
A feast for the seriously shameless collectors only definitely…
Have a nice shopping around! 😉
May be useful to someone.
Winrar ask the part 4.
Thanks for your comprehension.
May be useful to someone.
Indeed they are! Added to the Complete Covers Collection archive to be posted soon! Thanks! 🙂
Sorry but the archive for "Various Artists / Blade Runner – Esper ‘Retirement’ Edition (Disc VI)" is not complete.
Winrar ask the part 4.
… Then it will ask for part 5 when part 4 will be posted… and so on up to part 11…
It will turn up something nearly as 5 gb in the end… so it will take a while before WinRar will be able to extract the full content…

P.S. If anybody want it to, I could re-pack so-called "Nexus 6 Vol.1" and "Nexus 6 Vol.2" releases in *FLAC
Thanks Zero_flyer,
Could you upload "Nexus 6 Vol.1 and Nexus 6 Vol.2" versions please ?
?????????
At this point, the versions that i love the most are :
1. Deck Definitive Edition Art 765
2. Esper Edition
3. 2019 Edition
I look for these versions in lossless for comparing and archival purpose :
Blade Runner – Nexus 6 Volume 1
Blade Runner – Nexus 6 Volume 2
Blade Runner – Special Edition – M???moires vol. 7 [1999 DECK MUSIC (Japan)
Blade Runner – The Theatrical Version
Concerning Blade Runner – Special Edition – M???moires vol. 7 [1999 DECK MUSIC (Japan) and Blade Runner – The Theatrical Version, i think you have to wait a bit to see them released !
Blade Runner – Nexus 6 Volume 1
Blade Runner – Nexus 6 Volume 2
Blade Runner – Special Edition – M???moires vol. 7 [1999 DECK MUSIC]
Blade Runner – The Theatrical Version
For the Nexus 6 releases we might strongly suggest to check the Vangelis – Blade Runner – Nexus 6 – Vol 3 (http://br2019.com/home/blade-runner-soundtrack/item/82-vangelis-blade-runner-nexus-6-vol-3.html) as kindly posted by Synaptyx a while ago.
As JacKc has pointed out someone made some covers to the Off World release and the Gongo release (which was just a repackaging of the Off World with a different track) and sold some copies in a double cd case.
The Blade Runner – Nexus 6 Volume 3 has all the tracks on them plus a new track added.
That’s value for your bandwidth really!
Plus you do not need to pay for it… and you should not as a matter of fact… not to mention the whole set of nice artworks coming with it. 😉
If you still want the first two volumes in the serie… well… you might get your Gongo and Off World release (I believe you should have them in lossless by now)… and just change the name on the cd artwork (on that we cannot help since no one has ever posted some scans) but I wouldn’t see a reason to given the wealthy of stuff around here. You decide on the matter…
As I tend to say: grab it while it is here! 🙂
Is there a way to get "Blade Runner – Special Edition – M???moires vol. 7" version in lossless please ?
I don’t like .mp3 booo… Thanks in advance, a music lover.
Yes, but it will be uploaded in due time. And no, it is not from Japan anyway…
We are still going throught DVD6 of the Esper Retirement Edition and there will be more to come in between as far as I know.
A good 320 kbps encode for the less demanding music lovers will be posted in the Thread 72496 along with the Theatrical Edition very soon… you might want to check that for comparing and archival purposes in the meantime! 🙂

Please check time durations and tracklist… How could the Ladd Company track be 3:40 minutes long?
Are we sure Antas got the quality of the releases and time durations right? Someone is wrong… or perhaps not that right… but I’m afraid the answer needs to wait until we’re getting the releases in question…
Is there any need for me to download disc 6 of the Esper Retirement Edition since I have the previously uploaded version? Surely there can’t be any difference that’s worth downloading gigs of data. I live in New Zealand and we have about the world’s worst internet bandwidth and speed.
Regards, Zhora.
No, Zhora, you’re wrong. The worst bandwidth and speed are in Russia

Hope you all will enjoy this 2011 (not 2019) links !!!
Best regards,
JacKc.
Thanks! A very nice set. It may be me, but 2×07 — Taffey’s Club — is the right size but fails to play. It’s the only file that’s not playing for me. Possible to have it re-uploaded?
All that release needs to be dithered and resampled! The file in question is fine really. Try using Audacity (http://audacity.sourceforge.net) for the tasks needed though it is not the way I would do that. 😉
CDArchitect will do that on the fly even in demo mode…
Thanks for pointing the spelling mistake on spines for BR Asian Worlds 96 and 98 Covers. Here’s link to download the fixed sets :

This is not the original Blade Runner – Special Edition (M???moires Vol 7) as we would like to know it, (it is not currently being re-shared and when it was it presented several errors due to a poor encoding) but it originates from the remastered Deck Art Version that omitted a handful of milliseconds (here re-edited from the only sources that made it to this day) and changed the track indexing (way before the Esper Retirement fashion).
This is just a replica of it if everybody wish… but if you have the Deck Art 765 edition… you are also having the release in question (plus bonus tracks)… and in a slighty better sounding version compared to the original version (which has some milliseconds extra).
Needless to remind to decompress to WAV first (preferred). Cue sheet with CD-Text info is included (suggested). Burn at 4x speed (always).
"M???moires Vol. 7" a.k.a. "Blade Runner Special Edition" a.k.a. "Deck Music Version" a.k.a. "The Japanese Edition" is included in the "Blade Runner – Deck Art Edition" a.k.a. "Deck Definitive Edition". Tracks 02 to 24 in the "Deck Art Edition" is indeed "Memoires Vol. 7". Exactly the very same thing.
You might think of the "Deck Definitive Edition" as a re-press of Memoires Vol. 7 plus four bonus tracks… hence the Deck Definitive Edition name… since it consists of the Deck Music release in its final version…
The japanese text on both releases only states "Blade Runner soundtrack composed by Vangelis. The version also known as "Memoires Vol. 7" has the Special Edition english text added on the front cover.
Probably they got hold of the FIC source for it and decided to do it on a less limited scale… this was limited to 100 copies while the FIC releases were usually very limited to friends and trusted collectors only. The Deck Art was even less limited and as far as we know it topped 500 copies manufactured cd’s. I think they were named how we got to know them by Antas to better recognize them from the rest of the BR Releases around… but they are not named so in the japanese text presented on the covers. It just says: "Blade Runner Original Soundtrack". I hope it is not too confusing 🙂
This archive should be considered as the not-so-official companion to the post by Pendor. It was originally intended as a mockup of this hard-to-find edition, hence the Blade Runner – M???moires Vol 7 (Deck Art Version) name for it. Original scans kindly provided by Mark. Alternate artworks kindly provided by JacKc, Pendor, Zero Flyer & Cloud9’s team. Thanks everybody! 😉

Guys, I keep noticing this problem on Blade Runner CD covers:
There is a problem with Phil Steinschneider’s Blade Runner font. Specifically with the kerning of the capital "L" character that creates the merged "LA" character. Whether this is Phil’s fault, or some weirdness that Photoshop produces, I don’t know.
To fix this, in photoshop, select the capital "L" character that creates the merged "LA" character and in the character dialogue box increase the extra kerning of this character alone to 1 (should be at zero to begin with) do not select 10 from the drop down, just type a 1 in the box.
Et voil???!

While we on a font discussion can I ask what the font is on the Theatrical Cover (the Times-Like one). I sometimes have to fill in the text in photoshop and then lay new text over it if I can identify it in another program like Freehand to get it to print without the white text filling in. Fine white text in a jpeg doesn’t print well on my printer even at max resolution. Its not a design flaw, just my printer! Would be nice to know what fonts are used when making the covers. Cheers!

While we on a font discussion can I ask what the font is on the Theatrical Cover (the Times-Like one). Would be nice to know what fonts are used when making the covers. Cheers!I use Georgia in lieu of the original typeface. Never did figure out what they used for the movie titles. Goudy Old Style was used for the Blade Runner sketchbook.
Now to know what fonts have been used for a cover, it’s a secret designer XD (synaptyx will agree with me).
One more thing : I want members here remember the Blade Runner replica covers i’ve made are only for personal purpose and not for commercial use…
@ synaptyx : I will send you soon more covers i’m working on when it will be finished. If you want, you could use them on your site (same for the previous covers i’ve made)

In order to successfully burn a copy of it you have to re-sample all tracks to 44 KHz and dithering to 16 bits the Taffey’s Club track last. Audacity (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/) will be all right for the purpose.

Comments :
It could not be said much about this release, and who took care (and a great one) of that, (accidentally we found each other) most likely got his work forgotten in the overwhelming amount of releases circulating at the time, or somehow this version just did not grab the attention it might have deserved (perhaps it just was not properly "advertised" as some die-hard collectors would put it.
Still moderately circulating on cdr in a semi-official form among collectors, most interesting has to be the use of the dialogue in between the cues.
To the known maker of this, A&A, go our belated thanks and all the credits for the work done.
Even if he was trying to achieve something purer we have to take… still, a nice job. The fresh take on the subject was really appreciated.
An enhanced replica of the original artwork (plus the added back tray inlay) kindly provided by JacKc has also been included.
Merci pour la couverture alternative aussi!
——————————————————————————–
"The disc is dated September 2003 so it must have been late 2002 when I started compiling it.
I only ever sent 1 copy to a member of the Yahoo group a long time ago – I’m guessing he copied it or gave it to someone who did.
It’s derived from the Gongo, Deck Art (I owned an original), OWM 2000, the original album release and the soundtrack ripped from the original DVD release.
The reason I used dialogue was that certain tracks were (some still are) impossible to find without dialogue like "Leon’s VK" and "Chew’s Lab",
I decided to use parts of the DVD because of this and also to be a little different.
I only ever got around to compiling the first disc because it took me so long and I was never very happy with the final result. Incidentally, the front cover is my design but not the back – don’t know where that came from.
Like everyone else, all I’ve ever wanted was a complete perfect quality soundtrack without dialogue and sound effects…
Anita (and Anson)

Notes :
The usual words need to be added before going lossless. We would like to remind that you should not make profit off what it is not your own.
The reason to be of a lossless release is for a better archival purpose only.
Be responsible in giving back what you had for free.
Consider sharing back what was shared of old if you care.
We are only left with what we share eventually. The more accurately (read properly) the better for the peers-to-be.
Needless to remind to decompress to WAV first (preferred).
Cue sheet with CD-Text info is included (suggested).
Multiple WAV Files With Gaps (Noncompliant) if you know your tools.
Burn at 4x speed (always) with no pause between tracks otherwise.

Let’s see… first you need to re-sample all tracks to 44 KHz. At least the ones at 48 KHz. All of them if I remember correctly. For the purpose check this:
r8brain (http://www.voxengo.com/product/r8brain/)
07 Taffey’s club.wav is 24 bit and 48 KHz… so you need to dither the file to 16 bits as the last thing to do in the audio chain…
Audacity will show the actual sample rate but only the bit depth you have instructed the software to work.
Preferences — quality — default sample rate —
If you install dBpoweramp you will get the correct resolution of every audio file when the mouse is passing on them if you like… I have it installed on every machine running windows…
YOU NEED TO DECOMPRESS THE FLAC TO WAV FIRST BECAUSE AUDACITY CANNOT HANDLE FLAC FILES!
It freeze my computer too if I try to import the 24 bit flac…
Decompress to wav first.
Export the file as wav. It will export a fully dithered 16 bit resolution file with dither on as specified in the setting in the Preferences — quality — panel…
Make sure you are working with copies of a file you intend to work since Audacity cannot handle unlimited undo’s—
here’s 07 Taffey’s club decompressed from flac to wav in 16bits 44KHz with dbpoweramp :
07 Taffey’s club.rar (http://www.sendspace.com/file/9nw8oi)
Best regards, JacKc
Regards,
Terry
I cannot tell why Audacity is not handling 24 bits flac files while it will accept 16 bits flac files as input (decoding them on the fly), but as a rule of thumb always work with the raw audio stream… then do all the compression you wish… later.
I’d rather help you learn to fish than hand you one… learning in the process…
Try to achieve that yourself if possible… You own JacKc a drink (with coaster) anyway! 😉
…decompressed from flac to wav in 16bits 44KHz with dbpoweramp…
I’m hoping you omitted to write decompressed from flac to wav, resampled to 44 KHz and then dithered to 16 bits… 🙂
"How MP3 Files Work" (http://computer.howstuffworks.com/mp3.htm)
A CD quality track is 1,411,200 bits per second, (1,411 kbts). The resulting mp3 is "combed" at 320 kilobytes per second (kbps). You are obviously losing information there (ie sound).The key is how much of it you lose, and what parts of it the human ear can hear. With good equipment you can definitely tell, but a good mp3 sounds pretty good too.
Now we are left wondering why you are thinking to that… 🙂
You are all crazy! :p

Thank you for coming back to say hello. Your presence at the thread is truly appreciated.
More to come on the way if you will trust us… At times like these, the company of friends is incredibly comforting.
Thanks again!
The rep-symps team 🙂
BTW regarding the question of MP3 bitrate VS lossless bitrate. It varies wildly of course but generally a lossless FLAC file has a bitrate of at least 700 or more (sometimes as high as 900 something) so yeah MP3 just doesn’t cut it.
Having said that I can play FLAC on my portable device but I use it so little and only when on-the-go that I admit that I’ve decided to go 320 CBR AAC-LC and that’s good enough for me … at least on a portable.
At home my computer is hooked into my stereo and I only do lossless FLAC 🙂
Some of the links initially posted here were refreshed with working ones thanks to the input of most peers.
As for me I tend to post the links on different forum boards so that people might not have the need to post them someplace else.
I deeply thank you for the input you gave a while back and I am hoping the things we have added (and are going to add) might be of some interest for a seasoned Blade Runner fan. 🙂
Perhaps we are a little crazy after the topic you have started and by the end of the year we might be able to cover in lossless most of the vintage releases plus some new releases based on the legacy the previous releases have left us.
You might want to have a look at the lossy thread where you will find a preview for most of the lossless releases to be released here.
If you were a member of the Yahoo board as well we will deeply appreciate some of the things posted in the past over there… I am afraid we are too young and have missed most of them. The Sound Of Blade Runner 2008 mixed edition for example…
If you still want to trade some lossless links we’re always up to it! 🙂

Hi Guilli – and everyone else whose efforts within this thread are nothing short of astronomical… I was looking for the Esper ‘Retirement’ Issue Disc 1, with a ripping .LOG file. The link above no longer seems to work. Any chance of re-upping and sharing it again? In a previous thread, the Retirement Disc 1 links work, but no LOG file in there. I got Discs 2-5 from another server, which all had LOGs. Is it out there anywhere? 🙁
Every other link I’ve tried works… I would just like to THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH for the effort you’ve put into making this the most amazing BR soundtrack thread I’ve found anywhere! Cheers from Australia. 🙂

Just a quick heads up, the .cue file in this needs editing.
It points to "DJ A.I. – Neo L.A. 2019 (The Blade Runner Remix EP).wav" but should point to "DJ A.I. – Neo L.A. 2019 (The Blade Runner Remix EP).ape".
Open the .cue in notepad and make the change and everything works just fine.
Great up, thanks!

Claro, esa es la manera ideal para convertirse en un gran… gran coleccionista… de "posavasos" y adornos navide???os!
El m???todo m???s seguro (y recomendable) es no utilizar plugins, convertir el APE a WAV, montar la imagen en una unidad virtual, controlar que todo est??? como deber???a estar, y finalmente quemar el CD.
Bien podr???a ocurrir que utilizando cuesheet’s ".ape", el plugin seleccionado haya sido seteado con un offset positivo o negativo, que se genere un error aleatorio durante la descompresi???n APE=>WAV, que el cuesheet contenga errores varios, etc… y de todo eso reci???n nos enterar???amos con el CD ya quemado.
Por todo ello, jam???s es recomendable ni seguro utilizar cue’s ".ape", ni ".flac", ni ".wv", etc.; simplemente (y ???nicamente) hacer uso de cue’s ".wav".
Saludos!
The problem I found here (as I sometimes do) is that the track separation is encoded into the .ape file, so if I convert it before burning it then I also have to separate it into individual tracks as well.
I find it easier to make sure that the plugin is configured correctly and use the .cue.
I didn’t get a coaster here 😉
If there is a way of converting an .ape file (or .flac) that separates the tracks out then I would appreciate knowing how as none of the software I’m using seems to be able to do it.
Thanks.
Si por alguna raz???n, uno desea cortar/separar esas pistas a partir de un archivo APE, FLAC, WAV, existen muchas maneras de hacerlo, las m???s sencillas y pr???cticas son estos dos programas…

Medieval CUE Splitter (http://www.medieval.it/sw/cuesplitter_setup.exe) (Una opci???n minimalista, sencilla y pr???ctica)
Con cualquiera de ellos, cuando cortemos/separemos tracks debemos hacerlo siempre sobre WAV’s, ya que si la acci???n de corte se realiza directamente sobre un APE ??? FLAC, algunos sectores (muy peque???os) quedan da???ados y en el caso de volver a unir dichos archivos se generar???n "clicks" (en las uniones, claro).
Resumiendo… toda acci???n de edici???n y/o grabaci???n debe realizarse sobre archivos WAV, siempre.
Y repito, para quemar una CD IMAGE utilizar en todos los casos WAV-CUE (con el cuesheet ".wav", l???gico). Para la acci???n de grabaci???n (y ripeo por supuesto) recomiendo el EAC (Exact Audio Copy) pero eso s???: CORRECTAMENTE CONFIGURADO! El EAC es el ???nico programa actual (y gratuito) que no elimina los PREGAP’s (INDEX 00). El Feurio! es un programa similar al EAC, pero ya es obsoleto.

I’ll be checking the comic and the movie adaptation later tonight… after the usual "Snow White and the Replicant Dwarfs" viewing…
If you have used it as avatar it must be good! 😉
I had to delete "The Seven Replicants in the Off World Forest" to make up some space on this machine…
I’m not expecting something like "Idiocrazy" meets "Blade Runner"… but I was told it should not be too bad! 🙂

Yes. V0 is not much different compared to 320 anyway! 🙂
They retain the same quality. Only difference might be the slighty smaller file size of a V0 (variable bit rate) encoding compared to 320 constant bit rate.
Constant Bit Rate is an encoding method that keeps the bit rate the same as opposed to VBR which varies the bit rate. CBR processes audio faster than VBR due to its fixed bit rate value. The downside to a fixed bit rate is that the files that are produced are not as optimized for quality vs. storage as VBR. For example, if there is a quiet section in a music track that doesn???t require the full bit rate to produce good quality sound then CBR will still use the same value – thus wasting storage space. The same is true for a complex sounds; if the bit rate is too low then quality will suffer.
Variable Bit Rate is an encoding method that is designed to achieve a better sound quality vs. file size ratio than CBR (Constant Bit Rate) encoding. This is achieved by continuously changing the bit rate during the encoding process depending on the nature of the audio. For example, if there is silence to be encoded then the bit rate is lowered to optimize the file size. In contrast, if the audio to be played contains a complex mix of frequencies then the bit rate is increased to give good sound quality.
Using the VBR encoding method will produce an audio file that will have variable bit rates from 128Kbps to 320Kbps depending on the complexity of the audio frequencies.

Hi synaptyx
Thanks for uploading this. I haven’t downloaded it yet.
All versions of Esper MR3 I have found so far have an annoying glitch on disc 4 track 13 (Wounded Animals (alternate edit) at around 2:08, does this version you posted fix that problem?

Let me see into this later tonight… my copy is pretty old though…
Here’s the proper version: 4-13 – Wounded Animals (Alternative Edit) (http://www.mediafire.com/?qqporvavq8n30dw)

Grab your cd and rip the content with EAC as separate tracks.
Put the fixed version in the same folder and trash the one with the glitches.
Burn a cd with no pause in between tracks at 4x speed.
Thanks for pointing this out for everybody! 😉

Thank you for posting the fix, DC. Now at long last I have a ‘perfect’ Esper MR3!
Basically all the lossless versions I was able to locate were ripped from the same faulty cd… and so all the subsequent flac encodes including the one also posted here. Though I do have a different remastered copy which does not present the DC offset issue of the lossless copy shared, I believe the only problem should be with track 13 on disc 4…
Basically the whole Esper releases only sequenced the M???moires serie cues in a more proper order… so you technically need to locate the faulty frames and pasting in the original position the exact number of frames… and since we are dealing with the "minutes, seconds, frames" thing for audio cd’s it gets pretty time consuming.
It took a while to locate the correct frames for the AsianWorlds releases… so I already knew where I needed to look for! 😉
If anyone does spot any other glitch please let the forum know… plus if anyone happen to have a copy of disc 4 without glitches on track 13 at around 2:08… please be so kind to share the whole package before it gets either lost or unplayable as it always happen. Thanks! 🙂

Comments :
The only copy that made it to us presented several missing frames filled with silence.
We are only left with the hope they did not do that on purpose like some bootleggers seems to operate when dealing with unauthorized releases.
We cannot tell if that was due to poor ripping quality or to a poor quality of the original master, but the only mp3 encode that made it to us presented the very same issues.
Incidentally the sources used for this release are the very same used for the M???moires serie with a better perceived loudness on the Asian Worlds releases compared to the different tries of the FIC releases and the Deck Art release.
Who copied who is not for us to guess or to care for what it matters.
This release being historically older than every other FIC releases (so we are told) has to be the best guess at an alternate Blade Runner release.
Or at least the first try at isolating some Vangelis cues off the Director’s Cut foreign dub DAT tape and the versions on the official cd. What was missing was restored from the same source used for most of the bootleg of the time: the 1992 foreign dub for the non-english speaking countries and the
official 1994 version.
Enjoy a fully restored version of the 1996 Blade Runner AsianWorlds Limited Edition. Original scans courtesy of Marek and MrYeeshkul.

A sincere Thank You for all the nice alternatives!

Comments :
In a nutshell‚ this release attempts to do on a single disc what OWM Blade Runner 2000 did with two: take from every Blade Runner source out there. It starts out with Deckard’s ESPER monologue‚ taken from the Warner release‚ but then layers in the thundering booms of the Main Titles. There’s a bit of incidental music taken from the Deck Music release as well‚ (the lead-in to the "Love Theme" is very well done). Despite some obvious drawbacks‚ I have to say that this is a decent single disc Blade Runner bootleg. Not as effect-driven as the Deck Music and not entirely musically pure like the Gongo and Warner releases. There’s a bit of everything‚ and all the major themes are there. Nicely done‚ Asian Worlds.
Sebastian ***
Here is a perfect example of how to present well-known material in an original way. Almost all of the themes are included here‚ in a complete or shortened form‚ but the listen never gets tedious mainly because it doesn’t take longer than 70 minutes. I like very much those themes composed with the add of two‚ like "Hypnotic Skyline: Blush Response"‚ "Blade Runner Blues: Deckard’s Dream" and "Among the Menagerie: The Prodigal Son Brings Death".
I also like that the themes are ordered in a different way that the other releases. And the fact that it lacks of the batch of superfluos themes that are often included like the Trailer and "If I Didn’t Care" or the Japanese Woman’s Song it’s also good news. In sum‚ a very good work.

Notes :
The original had way fewer missing frames filled with silence compared to the 1996 AsianWorlds release, but still it presented the same kind of issues.
Either the quality of the media was affected by time either the media itself was not properly ripped. Somehow we would hope the original master did not present such imperfections though a wrong indexing of the tracks was still there. Again the same sources used by the FIC releases, again the same edits and creative solutions. Who is who and who deserve the credit for the original concept is not for us to guess or to care for what it matters. Enjoy a fully restored version with proper indexing.

Afterword :
The "Blade Runner – Special Edition" appears to be an expanded and remastered version originating from the same concept (the foreign dubs) of the "Blade Runner – Director’s Cut" by FIC, (5th in the M???moires series, with about four volumes devoted to Blade Runner) and it is the original limited version of the rarer "M???moires Vol 7" release originally by FIC (who preserved Vangelis unreleased material with the M???moires series spanning twelve volumes) that was eventually manufactured in Japan by Deck Music.
Perhaps, as it appears with the "Struzan Beta" edition, which is a repackaging of the Deck Music edition or FIC version (that we cannot guess), the "Blade Runner Special Edition" by Deck Music might be a better (re)packaging of the M???moires Vol 7.
Again someone ripped someone off… if not done by mutual agreement (that we’ll never guess).
Tracks renamed likely to the MR3 fashion as this never had an official tracklist, neither in japanese nor in english for what that matters… even if it did have a not-so-official tracklist (at some point) as an allegedly repackaged version of "M???moires Volume 5" sold via not-so-legal mp3 sites.

Notes :
A bootleg recording is an audio and/or video recording of a performance that was not officially released by the artist, or under other legal authority. The process of making and distributing such recordings is known as bootlegging. A great many such recordings are simply copied and traded among fans of the artist without financial exchange, but some bootleggers are able to sell these rarities for profit, sometimes by adding professional-quality sound engineering and packaging to the raw material. Bootlegs can consist of recordings of live performances, or material created in private or professional recording sessions. Changing technologies have had a great impact on the recording, distribution, and varying profitability of the underground industry. The copyrights for the song and the right to authorize recordings often reside with the artist, according to several international copyright treaties. The recording, trading and sale of bootlegs continues to thrive, however, even as artists and record companies attempt to provide "authorized" alternatives to satisfy the demand.

Needless to remind to decompress to WAV first (preferred). Cue sheet with CD-Text info is included (suggested). Multiple WAV Files With Gaps (Noncompliant) if you know your tools. Burn at 4x speed (always) with no pause between tracks otherwise.
Be responsible in giving back what you had for free. Consider sharing back what was shared of old if you care. We are only left with what we share eventually. The more accurately (read properly) the better for the peers-to-be.

Here’s the proper version: 4-13 – Wounded Animals (Alternative Edit) (http://www.mediafire.com/?qqporvavq8n30dw)
Now the instructions…
Grab your cd and rip the content with EAC as separate tracks.
Put the fixed version in the same folder and trash the one with the glitches.
Burn a cd with no pause in between tracks at 4x speed.
Thanks for pointing this out for everybody! 😉
I am squatting my mates internet connection at the moment. I will try to post the lossless of the fixed AsianWorlds releases in the next weeks. 🙂
A tip to all ‘archivists’ out there if I may: to store an accurate and perfect copy of any music, my suggestion is to use FLAC (or any other compressed lossless format) on a data CD rather than recording an audio CD. This is because data uses improved error correction and detection compared to audio, and is therefore more resilient and reliable. Writing data also allows the use of checksums to verify that what was written is a perfect error-free copy of the original.
Personally, my ‘archive’ is stored as FLAC files on DVD-Rs, (which admittedly can’t be played back on the stereo… 🙂

Hi everyone,
Would it be possible for someone to re-upload the Esper Retirement Disc 6 folders at another file hosting site, (Not DepositFiles)? These ones have all been deleted apart from the first folder. 🙁
Love, Zhora.
On a different subject, I’m curious about the track Qu’ran. Is this by Brian Eno? If so, it was originally released in 1981 on the LP My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts by Eno and David Byrne. It disappeared from subsequent editions because of a complaint from the Islamic Council… Go figure…

They are all still online… it would be easier if you would ask me to burn a copy and send that… I know it will take a bit to go through all of them… having said that the second option is open! 😉
Is Nexus 6 Volume 3 available anywhere else other than synaptyx’s excellent site? The torrent is no longer being seeded….

I’m afraid the torrent was the only chance to jump on that release then. I will try to see for that in the weekend though…
I might have 4 different issues of My Life in the Bush of Ghosts (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Life_in_the_Bush_of_Ghosts_(album)) and some of them did include the original mastering of that song (also included on the Nexus 6 Volume 3 release) which I happen to prefer to the more compressed versions on the re-issue! 🙂
The track "Qu’ran" was excluded from this release without comment. However, in an interview for Pitchfork Media about the 2006 reissue, Byrne said:
"Way back when the record first came out, in 1981, it might have been ’82, we got a request from an Islamic organization in London, and they said, ‘We consider this blasphemy that you put grooves to the chanting of the Holy Book.’ And we thought, ‘Okay, in deference to somebody’s religion, we’ll take it off.’ You could probably argue for and against monkeying with something like that. But I think we were certainly feeling very cautious about this whole thing. We made a big effort to try and clear all the voices, and make sure everybody was okay with everything. Because we thought, ‘We’re going to get accused of all kinds of things, and so we want to cover our asses as best we can.’ So I think in that sense we reacted maybe with more caution than we had to. But that’s the way it was."
I’m looking forward to the weekend now… 😉

The Bush of Ghosts CD is in my collection but sadly it is the version without that track. 🙁
I read in a post a while back that Nexus 6 V.3 was sourced from the Gongo and Off World editions, and yet neither of these includes the track Qu’ran…???

I read in a post a while back that Nexus 6 V.3 was sourced from the Gongo and Off World editions, and yet neither of these includes the track Qu’ran…???
The song was only included on the US and Canada version of the album by Sire Records. There is also a Japan edition which includes the song as well… all of these are virtually impossible to find anyway. You should have the 2006 remastered version or the european press of the album which is the one "officially accepted"… pretty sad though. I still find the original bootleg cassette version being the most interesting… the whole damn copyright issue…
I don’t think that the makers of the Off World version were interested in the non Blade Runner music, it was the Gongo re-pressing to add the Ogi No Mato source music.
I call that re-pressing since the Gongo edition is the Off World cd with the Ogi No Mato track as extra (but omitting one of the cues on the Off World)… and the Gongo makers might have not been aware of that particular track at the time…
Someone re-packaged both editions and added a set of new covers a while ago… and plenty of collectors did again buy the same music with a different cover…
We thought more sensible for collectors alike to simply pack the extra source music on the Gongo with the addition of the Qu’ran cue used on the Workprint and also re-added on the Final Cut version which was omitted from both releases… (the EMS 2011 does add another couple of source music cues if you are interested…)
The real gems are the artworks though… people will realize that only in 10 years time perhaps… I am seeing for it, stay tuned! 🙂

Vangelis – Blade Runner – Nexus 6 – Vol 3 is the logical conclusion to the Off-World/Gongo release line. Off-World (a.k.a. Nexus 6 Vol 1) plus the full Gongo (a.k.a. Nexus 6 Vol 2) in a single release – the Gongo is a repackaging of the Off-World minus a track and plus a different track – and by adding Qu’ran from the first vinyl transfer we present "Vangelis – Blade Runner – Nexus 6 – Vol 3."

Those damn hackers released another soundtrack overnight… and it does not sound too bad either… Well, it does sound like the Off World and Gongo actually, but If I Didn’t Care & Bicycle Riders (taken from the original vinyls) sound cleaner here… The original version of Qu’ran from the workprint is also present…

So I ask you this: which version is a) most complete AND b) free of SFX? I’m only interested in clean music.
So I ask you this: which version is a) most complete AND b) free of SFX? I’m only interested in clean music.
Honestly i think (when DC and B5historyman will be ready to release it) it will be The EMS Recombination 3 Disc Definitive Edition…But for now The Theatrical version, The Chinatown Club – Blade Runner Definitive Compilation 2011 and/or Blade Runner Restored/Remastered 2011 (http://forums.ffshrine.org/f92/blade-runner-soundtracks-ultimate-thread-72496/23.html#post1680854) are pretty good and almost clean.
A Team effort to create a Blade Runner soundtrack as clean as possible, without F/X and dialogue for fans to enjoy. On its release the soundtrack was well received, spawning numerous other compilations. however the work didn’t stop there.
For the lossless release, the EMS Team wanted to offer something a little different and not just repackage the original version. Changes were made to the running order and tracks were reworked as other sources were found. Extended versions of "At Mr. Chew’s" and "Desolation path" were created along with new tracks "Waiting For Zhora" and "Memories Of Green/Blade Runner Blues". With the recruitment of a new member, the EMS Team are proud to present for the first time a clean version of "Thinking Of Rachel".

… (the EMS 2011 does add another couple of source music cues if you are interested…)
…
Erm, if it’s the definitive, I believe I am… 😉
But all those are as far as im aware only available in lossy format.
The Chinatown Club release has some PAL sources like the "Peeping at Zhora" remix… The tracks on the EMS are in the correct speed… some is still at the same speed like "The Prodigal Son Brings Death"… which has the same speed also on the official Trilogy and Outtakes version anyway… You might appreciate the "Thinking of Rachael" version on the EMS on such regard! 🙂
There are a couple of 4% curse free releases like the "Blade Runner 2011" and the "29th Anniversary"… The former is remastered… the latter has not the quality of the EMS even if SFX free anyway…
I trust he EMS will be out sometine soon! 😉
But all those are as far as im aware only available in lossy format.
I’m afraid they are. The makers did not wish to release them as lossless… some will pop out as lossless soon or later! 🙂

Hi JacKc
Thanks for the links.
I would have preferred a lossless version of TSOBR, however I can’t spot the difference between the definitive and the workprint, so is it worth downloading 4CDs worth of files all over again for what are possibly only minor details? Besides, I do like the workprint… 🙂
NOT OFF-TOPIC AT ALL!
I have been looking around to have a chance to have a lossless listen to it for ages! Thanks for the post! 🙂
Have a look at this review anyway: Beauty Trance – Vangelis – Antarctica (Arkhan Release) (http://beautytrance.multiply.com/reviews/item/2)
One very important thing to note is that the track known here as "Deckard’s Dream" that is repeated a couple of times throughout the album does not come from the movie at all. The version that can be heard in the film is completely different. The people that put this bootleg together simply took "Deckard’s Dream" from one of the many BladeRunner bootlegs floating around and just used that.
I have to agree with the "Blade Runner 2011" maker on that. The version on the movie is different.
Not as I was inclined to believe after reading the review on: Vangelis-Rarities – Antartica – Private Release – OWM 2000 (http://www.anunna.net/vangelis-rarities/newsite.php?methode=methode1&id=10)
Thoses artworks are in black and white because this release is not the final release by my own copy of the "workprint version".
Any chance the black & white version will be released one day? For archival purposes only I mean… you know… the damn collector’s soul still lurking in some of us… 🙂

Thanks! Is this the fixed version originating from the encode that had Wounded Animals corrupted or is it an encode from a different copy the master you have worked on?
Es la edici???n que todos conocemos y/o poseemos desde hace tiempo, restaurada/reparada para una escucha m???s placentera.
El disco III, "Los Angeles, November 2019", ha sido inclu???do solo para completar la obra porque, la mejor (??? menos mala) edici???n hasta la fecha es la "2010 Remastered".

So I want to say THANK YOU ALL for all the interesting information, and for keeping Vangelis’ music and the BLADE RUNNER soundtrack where it belongs: at the top!!!
Contrary to Guilli, here’s replica’s Esper Definitive Collectors Edition Artworks which try to match original artworks (including typo errors, etc…)

They are not exactly the same, but I will have to agree on the fact that the workprint has more details and different edits of the same songs… Do grab also the official edition while it is there! 🙂

You’re telling me that I always had the ultra mega rare workprint edition of JacKc’s covers sitting on the computer and I did not notice? It must have been when the computer broke then… even if I had everything backed up… I still have to go through all the folders…
Time to retire in the box of shame… 🙁
I will double check then! Thanks for the tip! 😉

Hi Guilli,
Why do you always put some stroke effect on some logo (in fact on this cover "Blade Runner" has no stroke black effect)?… I’ve already done thoses replicas covers and i think it’s no bad at all…Why not taking my artworks for Pendor edition?

Hola JacKc!
Un "toque" de trazo negro bordeando las letras evita que ???stas se "pierdan" o fusionen con el fondo. No son covers "oficiales", son, tan solo, una opci???n m???s.

Hi Guilli,
Is this a straight copy of the officially released album by the New American Orchestra, just with a different cover? If so I have the original and I don’t need to download it. But thanks for sharing.

As??? es, armamar, es la obra completa (Blade Runner / The New American…) pero editada de otra manera, tal vez m???s coherente con el film.
Vale decir, nuevamente, que toda ???sta edici???n (s???, los 3 CD’s) es… digamos… mediocre. Pero bueno, ah??? est??? al alcance de todo el mundo.
Saludos!
Like Guilli has pointed out, the music is the same but it was mixed as it would have appeared in the movie… think to this as a sort of Esper Edition of the New American Orchestra rendering of the music. You might want to download this as well since it compliments the other two cd’s… and it is really hard to find in its original edited form.

Vangelis / Antarctica (??? 2001 Arkhan Records)
NOTA: Edici???n limitada original (Arkhan Records) con todos sus defectos, fallos y errores. Mediocre, muy mediocre.

Por el momento, es lo que hay.
I think there really is a problem with the time durations…
I have a really bad encode of the OWM 2000 edition which seems to have longer (I would daresay proper) fades… but three tracks out of 24 are missing… Same tracks as the ones in the official release but since the last seconds of the tail of the previous song are included in the beginning of the next one… we are totally out of luck to restore a proper version.
Does anyone have any of the former editions even in mp3 format?
Yes, I have, but at home. Can upload it tomorrow.
I would gladly appreciate that! Thanks!

Sorry I didn’t realise that you were wanting Antarctica Soundtrack. My mistake.

The Off World Ltd. Release
Off World Music OWM 9301 (1993)
This is the original unofficial CD release. This is the one that sort of
got the ball rolling. Granted the quality isn’t the best (although not bad)
and it can no longer be considered the definitive version but at the time
this came out it was the greatest thing since sliced bread. A truly great
release that most likely paved the way for the official 1994 edition.

There are a couple of problems with this rip:
Track 14 (Wounded Animals) has a bad glitch at 7:24 and track 17 (One More Kiss Dear) also has one at 2:32. These are ripping errors, unlike the many pops and crackles on track 5 (Bicycle Riders) that are also present on the Gongo version at exactly the same times, but are fixed on Nexus 6 Vol.3
Would anyone have a better rip? Ideally done using EAC in safe mode…

armamar, doing a quick search on this thread, i’ve found the fixed version for track 14 and 17 for the 1993 Off World Version
Thanks JacKc, I ignored that post a while back, my Spanish is not as good as it used to be… 😉

There are more than that… That’s why the "Blade Runner Nexus 6 Version Vol. 3" was released. The fixes for that faulty version were used to make the aforementioned release… and also the original release had its own problems anyway… the pops and crackles are almost gone on the Nexus 6 version for example…
The Gongo edition was only the european rip-off of the american Off-World release… they are exactly the same! 🙂

Totally agreed…The Blade Runner Nexus 6 vol.3 is more than a single compilation of Off World 1993 and Gongo. It fixes many faulty, crackles and pops from both original releases.
Now armamar, if you want to collect the most possible Blade Runner bootlegs, accept the fact that some nearly bootlegs are not perfect even if some nice guys here try to fix and clean them…

Thanks for your comments, and please don’t be upset, I didn’t mean to be critical. I have an original Gongo edition and I was trying to get a copy of the Off World edition as close to the original as possible (even with all the ‘original’ noise!). I hadn’t realised, until I compared the two, that they are identical right down to every single crackle and pop!
To fix the noise present on the originals would create a totally different ‘edition’ so I am grateful for the Nexus 6 vol 3 too. And I am extremely grateful to all of the nice guys here who are trying to fix and clean the originals, and are willing to share freely of their hard work. Thanks guys!

Nah… no one got upset really… plus we love fighting over such arguments! 😉
It is my intention to post the copy I’m having anyway, for future reference… but really there is no difference…
We are preparing something to post here in the next weeks so I’d rather concentrate on that… but do rest assured that I will do that in between the surprises we are preparing! 🙂
Would you be able to post some good resolutions of the Gongo artworks? We are missing that and it would be nice to know what’s inside the inner cover for example! If you do not have access to a scan… it’ll be all right the same!
To fix the noise present on the originals would create a totally different ‘edition’ so I am grateful for the Nexus 6 vol 3 too.
Well, actually some tries were done about creating a different edition… the first try is the LMS Edition 2001 (http://www.anunna.net/vangelis-rarities/newsite.php?methode=methode1&id=174) perhaps… it might be still be found on page 4, post #82 if you wish…
There you have the Off World and Gongo restored… but given the sources you cannot expect something sounding as good as the originals… during the last year further work was done to restore those tracks and were used for the Ultimte MR2, EMS, Chinatown Club and 29th Anniversary… and in time what was not officially posted yet, it will be posted here I trust.
The Blade Runner 2011 is a good try at it for example. If you ever tried to work on the Blade Runner soundtrack you might understand what those guys had achieved with that.
There you have a nice and fixed version of some songs off the Off World bootleg for example
On a different subject (and possibly off topic) would there be any interest in any of the following Off World CDRs here (quality not great, taken from DVD/VHS):
Sauvage et Beau (26 tracks)
De Nuremberg a Nuremberg (34 tracks)
The Plague (15 tracks)
Bitter Moon (18 tracks)
YES! YES & YES! GO ALONG PLEASE!
I think we should touch this topic anyway, because either we start a new thread with the Vangelis related bootlegs… either we let this thread evolve and carry on the legacy of the topic starters in a different way. We run out of every possible Blade Runner release (sort of)… shall we let this thread die on its own or shall we carry on in a different way?
I would like to post M???moires vol. 8 for example but I’d rather not to post it on the Blade Runner related thread preferring to leave more space to Zhora’s project of releasing a pretty comprehensive collection of Blade Runner inspired music there…
I’d rather see everything tied in some place than having to jump here and there to see the post of the same people who are posting here as well…

Is there anybody out there (oops, now I’ll have the Pink Floyd tune in my head for the rest of the day) who is still interested in the Esper Mk I edition?
Seen all the fabulous posts in this thread, it might not be up to par with all those remixed, remastered and/or fixed editions posted by all you experts, but this is the only thing worth sharing that I have.
NOT my own rip, but something I downloaded from the www a couple of years ago.
It’s in APE format (image+cue), and the files seem to have been ripped in 2003 (if that has any importance).
My up/download capabilities are extremely limited, so if nobody is interested, then I won’t do the effort. But otherwise I’ll gladly upload the archives exactly as I downloaded them (i.e. untouched and with the original password), just to thank all you nice people for the tremendous work you’re doing!
Found this on Soundtrack Specialist (SOUNDTRACK SPECIALIST: VANGELIS GALLERY (2) (http://scorearchive.soundtrackspecialist.com/vangelis_gallery_p2.html)) just to give you an idea 🙂

Thank you! 🙂
Thanks for the effort anyway.

I’m sorry to hear that it didn’t work for you. Maybe that’s because all the rapidshare servers were busy.
Unfortunately, it’s the same story with all file hosts if you’re not a registered user. Than you get a message like "All the slots for your country are occupied" or "All our servers are busy. Feel free to try again later."
So for the moment I only have this advice: try it again on a different moment of the day.
Yesterday, after I uploaded the files, I asked a friend (NOT a rapidshare member) to download them, just to make sure that it worked before I posted the links. And it worked perfectly. The time was 10:30 GMT. It shouldn’t be to hard to calculate what time that is in New Zealand.
And just a few moments ago (08:30 GMT), I tried it out myself, just to make sure. Everything seems to be in order, because I had no problems with it.
This is how I did it: scroll to the bottom of the page and click on the grey button that says "Free-Download". This button then becomes green, saying "Download Now".
When you click this green button, your download should start almost immediately.
Another word of advice: DON’T use a download manager or download accelerator. Those file hosts seem to be ‘allergic’ to them if you’re not a member.
I hope this will help. Sorry for the inconvenience and good luck! And if it still won’t work, you may always leave me another message.
Thanks for the effort anyway.
Cheers, Zhora.
I can confirm what dvran has said since what has happened to you is quite common. Even if I have a rapidshare account I did not use it to download the files and with the download manager it too about 3 hours. Try JDownloader for example. Still you will be asked to wait 15 minutes in between downloads but that’s it if you do not have an account with them. Keep trying! 🙂

I’m afraid this is not always like that. If you set your download manager to divide the download in 8 attempts at the same time (thus acting as a download accelerator) the server will refuse the other 7 attempts most of the times.
Apart from this… JDownloader will work with these saving you from clicking and waiting… it will do that for you as any proper coded download manager should do. It also accepts registered accounts making it more easier to get content from their servers. Just make sure to input the right preferences when using it for the first time. Give it a try and let us know… 😉
What a difference a day makes. I got all six parts this time in ten minutes. Not even a waiting period between parts.
Cheers, Zhora. 🙂

A while ago a brand new BR soundtrack edition, called "EMS Recombination", was announced in these pages. Since it was going to be the best ever version, there was no doubt in my mind that this was something to look out and worth waiting for.
I visited the home site several times for information about the project’s progress. But nothing new has appeared there since May 22, 2011. Then, browsing through the pages of The Blade Runner Soundtracks Ultimate Thread, I noticed that the "The EMS Recombination 3 Disc Definitive Edition" had been posted there on page 18 in a lossy format. Wasn’t this going to be a lossless release? Did I miss something along the way?
If there’s only going to be a lossy version, then I’ll hurry to download it. But if the lossless version is still to come, than that would be rather silly, wouldn’t it?
So, if someone could give me a hint, that would be much appreciated! Meanwhile waiting patiently…
Thank you very much in advance!
On http://forums.ffshrine.org/f92/blade-runner-soundtracks-ultimate-thread-72496/18.html#post1604062, you have seen the EMS Recombination 2010 release in lossy format, not The EMS Recombination 3 Disc Definitive Edition (This EDITION will be release in LOSSLESS as soon as last fixes needed on it will be done).
Nope… you should get that if you wish… anyway the one mentioned by JacKc is slighty different… it is currently stucked on the finishing touches… life has its top priorities. You might want to check the link courtesy of JacKc on the banner above in the meanwhile! 🙂
As I thought: I missed something along the way… forgot to compare the release dates, and overlooked the designation "Definitive". Errare humanum est…
But since the "EMS Recombination 3 Disc Definitive Edition" hasn’t been released yet, this gives me the opportunity to make a small suggestion. If I may?
As it happens, there’s something I noticed while comparing the track listings of all the different BR releases.
Everybody seems to agree on the title "Ladd Company Logo" (or "Ladd Company Fanfare") for that specific piece of music at the very beginning of the movie. And rightly so!
But when it comes to the next 2 musical themes, unanimity is lost. Sometimes they’re called "Main Titles & Prologue" (OWM Editions, Grey Fedora Editions, …), on other releases the very same suite of music is called "Prologue & Main Titles" (Esper Editions, S???bastien’s 2008 Edition, …).
In all the versions of the movie the chronology of the opening scenes is always the same (except for the ‘workprint’ version, in which the main titles are still missing):
1. The WB logo: soundless, so not applicable.
2. The Ladd Company Logo (digital green tree): lasts about 25 to 30 seconds. The music that can be heard here, though not composed by Vangelis, is the very first theme of the movie.
3. The Main Titles (names of the actors, composer, director, producer, etc.): these are accompanied by the first theme composed by Vangelis himself. This title sequence takes up about 35 to 40 seconds.
4. The Prologue ("Early in the 21st century…": a short summary of the events leading up to the movie’s plot, much like the "In a galaxy far far away…" prologue of the Star Wars movies): the tone of Vangelis’ music becomes even more menacing. This ‘introduction’ lasts about 50 seconds…
5. … and then the first real images appear: the Los Angeles 2019 skyline alternating with short close-ups of an (human or replicant’s?) eye. ("Eye On The City"…). Once again Vangelis adapts his music to accompany this transition from the white letters on a black background to the real start of the movie.
So, even though the first minutes of Vangelis’ score emerge as one suite of music, they consist of 3 distinct pieces of music, "Main Titles" chronologically always being the first of them.
That’s why, in my very humble opinion, the track title "Main Titles & Prologue" is the better choice, furthermore bearing in mind that the "Eye On The City" part could also be considered as some kind of (extended) "Prologue".
I really hope you don’t mind me pointing this out. I would like to think of this as a very, very, very, very small contribution to make an already perfect project even more perfect. Nothing more, nothing less. Feel free to do with it as you see fit…
And anyway: A rose by any other name would smell as sweet!
BTW, any chance of re-uploading (one of) these (in a lossless format)?

The first ones getting that right were the makers of the Blade Runner – 20th Anniversary Edition.
If we are not counting the Ladd Company Logo music we have the "Main Titles" intro (the reverbered kicks and the stripped down melody)… when the Main titles intro ends the "Prologue" music slowly kicks in… then the "Los Angeles November 2019 (Eye On The City)" soundscape is playing entering into the intro to the "Leon’s Voight-Kampff Test" music which ends with the keyboard note on the Leon’s shot scene.
Given the EMS concept and quality of the sources used that is going to remain like it was originally intended with the EMS 2010 version…
On the other hand I tried to address this issue on the "29th Anniversary" since I could not hear that on any release to date except on the original DAT perhaps… but I had to compromise quality for more detailed angles of the music… It was intended as one track anyway…
The problem is that on the 1994 official release the very same music is called Main Titles (part of it at least…)

I am afraid I accidentally deleted the Blade Runner 2008 covers from the server… I hope someone else might help with that since I have the original covers on another computer… but I will have a look anyway.
For the Pendor Editions in fake lossless in the meantime I might advice to get the versions posted on the lossy thread since the quality is pretty the same. If the source was a 128 kbps mp3… you are not going to gain much with a lossless version of that.

Thanks for the 29th Anniversary Edition preview. As usual, the music will be perfect. No doubt about that!
But I’m afraid that is not really what I meant. I admit that, because of my rather lengthy explanation, it may have been difficult to see the wood for the trees.
Having seen the (final?/near final?) artwork of the EMS Recombination Definitive 3 Disc Edition on the home site, I had noticed that the second track on disc 1 had been given the name "Prologue & Main Titles". The constituent parts of that (4:01 minutes long) suite of music needn’t necessarily be split up (although, of course, that is a possibility, in which case every part can be named separately).
I was merely suggesting that "Main Titles & Prologue" perhaps might have been a better title for it, considering the fact that the "Main Titles" part chronologically always comes first.
I realized that the artwork would have to be altered for that, but I thought that that might still be easier to do than to start tinkering with an already finished and perfect piece of music.
Bottom-line: NOT my project, NOT my decision! A little suggestion, NOTHING MORE!
And ‘a rose by any other name would smell as sweet!’

It seems we tracked down and analyzed every possible source and so far the fake lossless releases are:
Los Angeles November 2019,
Blade Runner 2019 Edition & Blade Runner Theatrical Edition,
2 tracks on the Blade Runner 20th Anniversary Edition,
every single release attributed to Frank Klepacki is instead based on lossy sources (and that make it sort of fake lossless as well) except the Blade Runner (Promo) (Pendor Edition) [P-100 F] which is not Frank Klepacki at all.
Sometime ago while trying to use the same approach used by the makers of the 2019 edition I ended up with the material that is being used for the 29th Anniversary… which is the ac3 streams decoded to wav basically…
Even if that approach is loosely based on a compressed signal I would account the quality as pretty close to lossless (even if it is not)… but that is what we have… and perhaps we will always have…
Main Titles & Prologue should be the more correct way to call that track as you have pointed out and that is how I would refer to it on the 29th Anniversary… for the EMS… we will see. I’ll have a word with the boss! Your suggestion is highly appreciated anyway!
Even if that approach is loosely based on a compressed signal I would account the quality as pretty close to lossless (even if it is not)…
I fully agree!
And many thanks for the detailed explanation about the ‘lossy’ lossless files/albums!
Our Wise Findings Are Just Here to Serve!
Read dvran’s post, he’s right of course it should read Main Titles and Prologue but as Vangelis called it Main Titles we are taking our cue from that. In the strictest sense everything that comes before this piece is prologue.
So the boss has spoken! A year after the initial compiling, we’re again back to finalize the last details! 🙂
Is CD1 from the 25th anniversary trilogy a remastered version of the official 1994 release? Or is it 100% identical?
Is CD1 from the 25th anniversary trilogy a remastered version of the official 1994 release? Or is it 100% identical?
No… it is 200% identical. Don’t let anyone telling you that it was remastered. It was not. Thanks heaven they did not squashed the music through any loudness maximizer… and that’s why I still like it! 😉
I hope you received my reply, because I can’t seem to figure out this PM thing properly.
And seizing the opportunity… this is what I read in wikipedia about disc 6 of the BR ‘Retirement’ Edition: "It has also included the Gongo/Off World edition, and Deckart cds."
I suppose this is a rather big mistake???
I suppose this is a rather big mistake???
BIG MISTAKE INDEED.
They might refer to such statement if they were talking about the Nexus 6 Volume 3 release… which they were not… plus Disc 6 is the Blade Runner inspired tracks.
The Esper Retirement guys were the ones stating that the Trilogy releases was remastered… but was not.
PM received anyway! 🙂

This version has sound effects from the film…. so far the BEST version of the score is the double disc created by Mr. Spider…. I have found it to be everything I desired back in 1982. Yet still I must say: "Vangelis, you are a jerk." I don’t think ANY OTHER soundtrack in the history of soundtracks has produced so many bootlegs and had such a following.
Did you take a look at the 2011 remastered version I posted? If you’re looking for a Vangelis-only release with no sound effects on one cd, then that’s what you should get.

Yes. The masters are ready to be shipped to the "replication plant" in a manner of speaking. You should expect the official lossy preview on the other thread first, then the lossless deal will follow shortly.
Officially it was supposed to be 3 discs… but as it was mentioned before… I think you’ll get "4… no… 2, 2, 4.. .. and noodles"
Noodles being some unreleased japanese music cues that were sampled in the movie. 🙂
The Sound Of Blade Runner has sound effects from the film…. so far the BEST version of the score is the double disc created by Mr. Spider…. I have found it to be everything I desired back in 1982.
You should definitely check the Blade Runner 2011 version as advised. That is the closest to a never released 1982 version of the soundtrack. 😉

We owe you more than one Jack. Most saintlike! :angel:
Great to see that EMS is shaping up and am glad JacKc is on the covers. B5HM and DC are doing wonderful things. I can’t wait!
Right now we are trying to figure out which Vincente’s version is which…
The Sound Of Blade Runner 2008 Edition ??? 2008
This is my personal review of Blade Runner music.
Basically it consists of a compilation of all the music that we can hear throughout the film, chronologically sorted. I’ve only added some little sound effects (no voices) taken from the same scene where the music sounds in order to create a continuous flow. You’ll be able to hear subtles variations of well known themes with added extracts from the surround Dvd channels.
Nothing new, in fact, but for me a great oportunity to hear all the music in the film’s way.
Specially difficult for me has been to create a version of Dangerous Days and Wounded Animals tracks. There’s a lot of variations, including the last official BR trilogy that convert it in a little chaos.
I’ve tried to respect the film version but i asume that maybe people prefer longer Gongo or Bootleg versions. End titles are official 1994 version (for me the best sounding) and Main Titles are from final cut Dvd.
In Sushi Bar I’ve mixed "If I didn’t Care" that it can briefly heard on rear channels of the scene.
Basically the sources of the music i’ve used proceed from the final cut an workprint DVDs with a few addition from the different musical sources (Gongo, Esper edition, Deck Art, outtakes…) in order to complete some tracks
I’ve mixed them using Audacity and Cool Edit Pro with a Creative Xfi 24 bit sound card at 48 kHz. Using music from different sources I’ve tried to normalize the sound but not manipulating it so much, trying in all cases to get the best quality.
I hope you???ll like it.

The Sound Of Blade Runner vol 1 ??? 2008
The Sound Of Blade Runner vol 2 ??? 2008
It consists in a "cronologically ordered" soundtrack without adding tracks or "alternate" music, with subtle sound effects and no voices at all. Actually, it tries to be a complete and strict musical version of the film.
Greetings.
An "enhanced" version of Esper enhancement track you can find on "The Sound of BR vol 1".
I hope you’ll like it.

The Sound Of Blade Runner 2009 Edition ??? 2009
Hi to everybody.
Adding some news to this amazing world of Blade Runner soundtrack I’ve made some changes to my personal review called "The sound of Blade Runner".
In this, more musical, new 2009 edition I’ve changed several tracks of my previous version cleaning the sound in some cases, making longer versions and trying to eliminate not desired sfx.
When possible I’ve chosen only the best lossless sources mixing them if necessary with unreleased parts, in this case in the best format i could find.
There are also some incidental unreleased music taken directly from the DVD sources.
Specially difficult for me has been the "Dangerous days -Wounded Animals" track mixing.
In the previous version i added some scene background effects like thunders or the "japanese" female voice in order to recreate the dark atmosphere.
This time I’ve rearranged all and now you’ll listen to only music including the "cat howl " scene mixed with several parts of Wounded animals, Deckard And Roy’s Duel and Dangerous days trying to respect the film sequence and without voices or sfx.
I’ve avoided the distorsioned bass sound parts of bootlegged "Wounded animals" in order to create a 10 min 15 sec "sound clear" version.
Most changes on this 2009 version are variations from 2008 edition but I think they worth it. Finally I’ve put all of this in three separate volumes with a new cover.
For those who downloaded the 2008 version i’ll put an archive with only the new adds in rapidshare.
If somebody want the entire 2009 edition tell me and i’ll give you the new rapidshare links.
Greetings.

Vicente, Fri Mar 6, 2009
Well, first of all, thanks for your comments. I’m very happy knowing people who have listening and enjoying with my little contribution to our favourite soundtrack.
You should know I’m only an spanish guy from Barcelona with a domestic Pc, some music software and really devoted to Vangelis music. Maybe a little perfeccionist with sound quality and that’s all.
Answering to S???bastien, I edit all the sound with Adobe Audition.
With DVD cues I use the typical cut, copy and mix paste, fade in and fade out tools. I don’t like an excessive sound editing with stereo expansors, equalizers or similar (they usually get sound a little "dirty" ). Maybe a litlle amplification avoiding high pics distortion and if necessary a standard deHiss.
All those new musical cues who you can listening to in TSOBR 2009 come directly from surround channels of "The final cut" and "The workprint edition" Blue Ray and standard DVDs. I extract a 5.1 Wav only track
from each chapter with Eac3to and then I begin to work. I’ve noticed that non English film versions (Spanish in my case) have a very musical background rear channels with no voices or sound fx included. (i.e Morning at the Bradbury or Prodigal son brings death prologue).
I only have to choose different musical passages and edit them with Audacity, mixing then with the other musical sources i’ve used (mainly Original Gongo Bootleg, Trilogy, 1994 official cd and (what a pity) my only mp3 copy of BR suite Outtakes.
Originally TSOBR 2008 was a more "filmic" oriented version ( you’ll specially find it in tracks like If I didn’t care or Pris meets Sebastian) but lately i changed all to a more musical oriented suite. Nevertheless i’ve decided keeping some of those "atmospheric" 2008 tracks. Simply I liked them.
And answering to Mark, Why three Cds? Well, just a litlle caprice.
My personal Trilogy ;-).
Ok guys, thanks again. I’m waiting for more new surprises. Maybe from Vangelis this time?
Let’s hope so
Greetings.

Today I’ve just made a little discover. I have found a special version of Manufactured skin and Taffy’s club on the Blu Ray DVD soundtrack. I think that the main difference with the other versions is the absence of people voices (specially at Taffy’s club ) and a little music variation (lenghth is practically the same). Maybe they’re well known versions but I didn’t find anywhere.

Quick question for you Vicente just to make sure: the only tracks you made changes to in the 2009 version are the eleven tracks included in the "2009 edits" downloads, the remaining tracks are identical to the 2008 version? I downloaded only the 2009 changes/additions and not the full version since I already have your 2008 version and didn’t want to hassle with downloading something I already have. Thanks!
Christian, Wed Mar 11, 2009
Message #3118
Yes, it’s ok. I’ve put them separately for those people who had the 2008 version. You should only add (or replace) Taffy’s and Manufactured Skin I added yesterday. These are a really new addition (for me too)

The Sound Of Blade Runner 2010 Edition ??? 2010
Well, like I promised, is time for little news.
First of all, for people who got my previous TSBR editions, I’ve to say that there are only a few new adds this time but I think they worth it. I’ll begin to put only the new one tracks here with a little explanation of changes in this new 2010 edition. Basically they are new sounds I’ve found searching in BR workprint and Blu-Ray edition.
I know they are minor changes but I think this is the way to spice things up a bit specially now there’s no news about Vangelis and his music…
Greetings.
Vicente, Sun Jan 10, 2010
Well, This is the first add: 06 From Police Headquarters to Tyrell Co.
It’s a new version from TSBR 2009 Tyrell Co., vol1 track 6. Now is 2′ 28" long and you can listen to new Vangelis an ambient sounds located in police headquarters (interview with Deckard scene) now without any voices or distortion. Clear sound and in flac version.
This is the link : 06_From_Police_Headquarters_to_Tyrell_Co_.flac
Well, tomorrow another one…
Second track for this 2010 edition: (The seventh from disc 1)
Rachel new edit: Now you can hear amazing new Vangelis sounds hidden in surround channels from Workprint edition. Wait for the last seconds of this track…
Rachel_2010_edit.flac
Waiting for the new BR addition lately I put a new piece of my Grand Suite series for those who enjoy like me with Vangelis music and for people that are just discovering this great artist.
Here you are GRAND_SUITE_PART_8.mp3
Well, now is the time. The third add to TSBR is the fantastic "Chew’s Lab" theme (11th track in TSBR vol 1). You all know that it appears with crystal clear sound in BR trilogy. That’s why the only thing I’ve done with it’s an enhanced mix with background sounds and Vangelis music effects that appear inside the surround channels. It seems the same track (only 15 seconds longer) but there’s a lot of "hidden" new sounds that you’ll discover if you pay attention. Look at the sound spectrum differences with original.
Not an spectacular addition but I like it. 11_Chew_s_Lab_2010.flac.
See you tomorrow.
Regards.
Vicente

The next track is not one of the main themes of BR but I think it’s very Vangelis style one. It’s the small "I’m the Bussiness" theme now with a new introduction.

Next track is an extended film version of " Rachel sleeps ", now 3′ 45” long and with a windy introduction like you can hear while Rachel is sleeping (not while Roy Batty is waving goodbye, Mr Rousseau). Enjoy it and please, tell me something about these new adds, I’m a little sad these winter days and I need some positive feedback. ;-).
The best news is that our friend Jack will do the Cover art for this "definitive" version of TSBR. He put me some previews and I think it’s an awesome work. In a few days all this stuff will be finished, don’t worry.

The Sound Of Blade Runner Definitive Edition ??? 2010
Ok, this is my last post with new music for TSBR project. I think all my contribution to this wonderful soundtrack is really over now. That’s why I’ve decided to call it Definitive edition. With these four tracks you’ll have my complete version. You all know my original idea was to compile a soundtrack with music in the way that we can hear inside the film and that’s what I’ve been trying to do.
Last additions are four.
1. Pris Meets Sebastian : A re-edited version with BR blues intro and music inside Bradbury’s building.
2. Dangerous days Raw version: Music directly extracted from Blu Ray 28 and 29 chapters. Minimal edition and only without human voices.
3. Wounded Animals Raw version: Music from BluRay, 30 to 33 chapters. Rain, lightning, doves and another sound effects but always with original film music.
4. TSBR intro: A brief introduction mixing some amazing BR Sounds TSBR intro
And now we only have to wait for the great Jack’s contribution who is working onTSBR Definitive Edition covers.
Best regards

The Sound Of Blade Runner Score by Vicente is awesome and it was a pleasure to work on this project!!!
Best regards,
Jack, Sat Feb 27, 2010
I am inclined to think the version posted by JacKc should be the Definitive Edition while the one you upped on br2019 should be the 2010 edition… but we need to wait for Zhora’s kind contribution to the current investigations to solve the mystery!
EDIT: Mystery solved. Both versions are Definitive Editions with JacKc’s version presenting 2 longer unedited tracks compared to the ones officially posted on Yahoo! Group. So JacKc’s 4 disc version is a Limited Edition of it while the version shared on the torrent is the official 3 disc 2010 edition a.k.a. Definitive Edition! 🙂
I scrolled back a few pages but did not find anything called "Blade Runner 2011", thus I have to say: No.
It is curious how some of these bootleg-composites use the quasi-interpolations that Vangelis added to his release; such as Rachel’s Song which is rather lame and didn’t appear in the film. I just want the film’s score. When the 25 Anniversary edition of the film came out, and Vangelis hopped on the band wagon to release a 3-disc score it seemed at last the music would be commercially available. Instead it was a rehash of one disc with dialogue, a second disc of ‘some’ additional music, and a third disc that is not only incomprehensible but doomed to be ejected out the closest window.

Like I said EMS Recombination is the best way to go. All the music on the first two discs are only from the movie (no sfx or dialouge) and the 3rd disc has a few little unused tracks and one from that third disc of the anniversiry edition (Piano In an Empty Room). Once its uploaded in lossless I think it is the definitive BR custom soundtrack.

Great stuff, this crossfade!
@Phideas1 Have you checked out BR 2011?
And then, we’ve got great people like Zhora, Zoran, DC and the various bootlegers who did the rest :D.
New Blade Runner movie, Lets speculate on the score. Would be nice change of pace.
As much as I love his music I hope he doesn’t do the new score…why you ask? Because of his egomaniacal attitude the original score wasn’t released until twelve years later and in my opinion it was botched leaving a lot of key cues out which is why so many bootlegs have popped up over the years.
I think Tangerine Dream should score the new version because they haven’t scored a film in almost a decade and I think with their current lineup of members it would be phenomenal! But then again I am very biased. 😀
I was shocked by the similarities with the Theatrical version of the Blade Runner’s private eye character, even if not as much when I had a chance to see the "Demon With A Glass Hand" episode from The Outer Limits series which had Blade Runner written all over it 18 years earlier.
Then I actually learnt of something like 5 other sequels to "Trancers" and after going through the whole saga I was actually pondering that whatever Alcon might have in mind they would have needed at least the same visionary director if not the same actors.
Everyone has aged since the original shootings but I guess if they are going for a sequel a tie with Deckard at least might be a nice idea.
For a prequel that will be quite hard to put on screen with the same actors.
But I hope they will make something good out of it… and without too much computer post processing to the scenes they intend to put on screen. Somehow I tend to agree with what Harrison Ford has stated about the latest Hollywood productions lately: they lost a grip on what is real and what could be made seen as real without focusing more on the action of the movie… as it did happen with Blade Runner in a way.
But that is up to everyone’s tastes perhaps…
A balance between the two different schools is to be preferred in my opinion.
Let’s hope Vangelis itself will provide to the background music! 😉
Ridley Scott will direct Blade Runner prequel or sequel – HitFix.com (http://www.hitfix.com/articles/no-joke-ridley-scott-will-direct-blade-runner-prequel-or-sequel)

Well… we are here for a reason! The man has keept us really busy in the latest year! 🙂
What was the talking about?
I have finally seen episode 6 of the saga yesterday… and they should have stopped at episode 3 in my opinion… 🙁
But call me Jack Deth from now on! That was really a nice parody of Rick Deckard! 🙂
Oh… nearly forgot to tell everybody. I am currently uploading the following hard-to-find releases.

Well, the title says it all. It did not make much sense adding the Vangelis related music to the Blade Runner related threads. Even if I hate having to check different threads every time I log into FFS, I have to reckon that this is the best way to avoid confusion and having it all in the same section. There you can post the music that never made it to official release or the one that is long out-of-print if you wish. Feel free to contribute as you might see fit! 🙂

Comments :
This is one of the first alternate recordings avalible on the CD format, limited to only 2000 copies, and thankfully a factory pressed disc by DISCTRONICS USA, as stated in the CD matrix (located around the spindle hole of the disc) **WTG01**/121628-R2-3343-2. This recording, issued by OFF WORLD MUSIC/OWM-9301, pretty much has all but two cues; "ogi no mato" by Ensemble Nipponia and Morning at the Bradbury. The sound quality, well I would go for the 1994 Warner Brothers’ commercial release for that, remember we’re dealing with "Alternate Recordings" here and they should be treated as such. All an all, I rate the packaging and sound of this CD = 7 out of 10.

Notes :
1-13 Bitter Moon Suite (42:03)
14-20 Blade Runner Suite (26:19)
——————————————————————————–
Comments :
"Bitter Moon is a beautiful score‚ and most of the music can be listened to perfectly without the images and enjoyed completely. Some of the themes are really beautiful. For example‚ the main theme‚ repeated with variations through parts 1‚ 4 and 10‚ the accordion theme you can hear on part 3 (That somehow makes me think of Paris) and the romantic and inspired part 13 (End credits?). Some of the music‚ however‚ sounds more incidental‚ but stands very well on its own too. Part 12 starts with an dance-arab-like song and then continues with a techno rhythm pattern (Is that really Vangelis?). There’s also a jazz song on part 2 (I’ll ask again: Vangelis?) [No. That’s Fever by Peggy Lee, at least the first part of the song] and some jazzy and dark passages. Since I haven’t seen the movie I don’t know if the music is well ordered or not. Sound FX from the movie can be heard alltrough the suite‚ and sometines become annoying. Even sometimes the FX andthe music grow suddenly giving you a start. Despite this little defects‚ sound quality is very good and the music in quite enjoyable.
The Blade Runner suite could be interesting in its moment but now‚ with all that Blade Runner releases out there has become a bit obsolete‚ but harmless anyway."

Afterword :
A few words need to be added before going lossless. We would like to remind that you should not make profit off what it is not your own. The reason to be of this release is for a better archival purpose only. Be responsible in giving back what you had for free. Consider sharing back what was shared of old if you care. We are only left with what we share eventually. The more accurately (read properly) the better for the peers-to-be. Needless to remind to decompress to WAV first (preferred). Cue sheet with CD-Text info is included (suggested). Burn at 4x speed (always). Alternate unofficial Official artworks kindly provided by Pendor, Zoran, JacKc and Xchullit. Special thanks everybody for the graphics! 😉
Have a better one Jack Deth! 😉

Thanks again for making these files available to everyone.

Hi guys
Looks like a similar glitch is present on the Esper Definitive disc 3 track 9 at 2:37 🙁
I’m going to check all the other versions too and will report back asap…
You will notice the first milliseconds missing for example…
I have done an analog pass via Culture Vulture MV of a corrected version a while ago… in due time I will upload that to supply a valid alternative to the original even if that is technically a remaster.
Do not attempt to compare the Retirement version… that has whole sections missing! 🙂
The originals were uploaded in the lossy thread a while ago… THOSE ARE THE ONLY ORIGINAL SOURCES MADE AVAILABLE! Everything that came after that was sourced from those…

Hi Zhora
Thanks for this upload, but does it fix the glitch on track 9 reported in my previous post?
Here is my edit of track 09 which now sounds fine. It is slightly shorter since it required the removal of a bad sample loop from the original maker of this album.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=T9Q2XIZ5
Here is track 09 with small gap fixed. Sent by Guilli.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=LA8989Y0
Track 10 with small gap fixed. Sent by Guilli.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=EPA134Y7
I hope these help. Maybe use Guilli’s fixes for archiving and my fix for burning to cd for listening.
Regards,
Zhora.

NOTA: Una edici???n en la que se han reconstru???do los sectores da???ados/faltantes de la Esper Productions original (s???, la mezcla original inclu???a variados fallos y de diversa ???ndole), resultando un Total Disc Time: 01:18:47:44. Curioso que el "BR bootleg" m???s mediocre desde el punto de vista t???cnico sea uno de los m???s solicitados…
The original was 1:18:47.587 (208 486 572 samples)… so we are almost there it seems!
Thanks for the better fix Guilli! 😉 … and also thanks to Zhora for the ready fix! 🙂
Differences with the previous versions?
Shall we dispose of the previous versions at this point?
I have uploaded another fix for track 9. This time it sounds right. It differs from Guilli’s latest version (just posted), for this reason.
The glitch in the original version at about 2.38 needed to be sorted out. The low, slowly repeating sound during that part is a sample loop that is repeated RHYTHMICALLY. My version better maintains the rhythm of this loop. In this 2nd upload I also fixed a pop at roughly 2.24 aswell.
So here is my, (hopefully), final version. I think it flows better from a musical standpoint.

Best regards,
Zhora.
As long it stays in the frames count needed to burn an audio cd it’s fine… I did several tiny additions of this kind when I dealt with it… but I fear that this kind of editing might generate a click when getting to the start of track 10… unless you generate a new cuesheet of the whole cdimage.
1000 milliseconds corresponds to 75 frames… and everything must stay within the frames (which is very tricky to say the least)… let’s say you edited in 38 milliseconds… the closest value to 3 frames is 40 milliseconds… the 2 missing milliseconds will generate a click unless you apply a little crossfade between the two tracks if you want to retain the rest of the tracks untouched… and that is the big problem with the whole Los Angeles release from a mastering point of view…
Not even the original mix took that into account perhaps… and that’s why not even the mp3 encode will join perfectly when properly decoded.
I consider the original mix to be fatally flawed and propose that we edit it to SOUND the best with little regard to the original release. Generate a new cue sheet and be done with it lol.
Thanks for your advice DC and thank you Guilli for your upload. I will, (for my own entertainment), make a Zhora mix of this disc. I’ll upload it in case anyone is interested in a very slightly alternative version. I may take a few days.
Cheers,
Zhora.
No, not from scratch. I only mean fixing the audible glitches and fixing the timing where the original construction may have been flawed as regards to musicality.
Zhora.
There are some differences to the first cd of it I got. The track "Piano Memories" no longer has the messy Esper scene samples that ruined it the first time. The front cover has the word Electric spelt properly, (instead of ElectricAL Sheep), but the back cover still has many spelling errors. the disc label is also different in that it actually says 2019 Edition on this one.
I fixed the spelling mistakes on the track titles.

Don DC…
???sta edici???n fue reconstru???da hace alg???n tiempo sin la intenci???n directa de publicarla, dado que la restauraci???n de 2010 hab???a quedado relativamente bien (??? no extremadamente mal). Viendo que algunos "inconformistas" (entre los cuales me incluyo) continuaban en la b???squeda de una edici???n m???s limpia, se public??? instant???neamente.
En ella (2011) podemos encontrar la totalidad del audio original, resaltando la inclusi???n de varios peque???os sectores faltantes en las ediciones anteriores y, principalmente la intro (Esper beeps) completa al 100%. L???gicamente que los fallos (originales) de la edici???n original (Esper Productions) tambi???n han sido reparados (como por ejemplo en el muy solicitado y maltrecho track 9…). Adem???s se re-indexaron nuevamente los tracks (para que cada pista inicie en una zona no-ruidosa del semiciclo). En fin, como ya he dicho en la nota al pi??? del post original: una edici???n completa y limpia. Vale tambi???n decir que las ediciones 2010 bien, pueden ser guardadas como recuerdo, desechadas ??? guardadas (conscientemente…) como basura!
Fin de la saga!
PD: Solo resta decir que la obra, como corresponde, fue debidamente bendecida por el p???rroco Vangelista de nuestro pueblo (siendo ???l en realidad rockero y picar???n… pero esa es otra historia…).
There are some differences to the first cd of it I got. The track "Piano Memories" no longer has the messy Esper scene samples that ruined it the first time.
Thanks for the sharing it… it seems the maker(s) decided to make different versions of this… though this latest version is pretty interesting for the Piano Memories track.
Also thanks for the rest of the auction stock shares! 🙂
Vale tambi???n decir que las ediciones 2010 bien, pueden ser guardadas como recuerdo, desechadas ??? guardadas (conscientemente…) como basura!
Ok! Thanks! Cannot get rid of the other seven different editions I am having though… but I will be keeping this new one well up-front! Looks like being the more complete to date! 😉
Please let me know if there are any problems.

Cheers,
Zhora.

Did you work on the original APE cdimage ripped by Krok?
<a target=”_blank” href=”http://img192.imageshack.us/i/immagineoriginal.jpg/”>
This is the original intro for track one from the mpeg’s posted in 2003 by Homer J. Simpsoy & Krok while the intro on the APE version (made from the same mpeg’s) was cleverly edited out to spot the difference with the original mp3’s perhaps! 🙂
That’s what Guilli was referring to when he decided to re-release the album… but your version is fine anyway!
More in the Esper vein that followed after the original Esper and Los Angeles 2019 releases!
Thanks very much Zhora! 🙂
I make no claims of doing anything at all clever with the version I uploaded last. I simply took the 2010 remastered version from Pendor, I think, split it into seperate tracks from the cue sheet using XLD on the Mac. Then removed the part of track 9 that was irritating me and crossfaded the track back together at a place that makes sense rhythmically. Then swapped the original track 9 with my edit. I checked the playback between tracks was still smooth and sent it in. It is only meant as an optional alternative and I mean no disrespect to yours or Guilli’s valuable restoration work.
Cheers mate.
Zhora.
I was just curious to know the source for your work since you haven’t mentioned it… which is the original APE cdimage then.
It just happened by chance that we discovered the missing intro on the audio that has been shared since 2003.
I do not know why the makers did so… I can only guess that they wanted to know which version was which because of some people marketing their works on eBay perhaps.
And that is the reason of the latest fix by Pendor, also thanks to everybody’s contributions!
I’m proud of ya all guys! 😉
The Esper Retirement version is not really a good sounding version… plus lots of sections were edited out… just the opposite that Zhora and Pendor have been doing really…
I am inclined to think that the FLAC version on eMule was sourced from a lower generation of mp3’s since the spectrum is lower there… the original APE version was sourced from the original MPEG share…
If you get both the latest Zhora or Pendor versions below they have already taken care of everything needed for a proper burning… using the best source available.

Burn with no pause in between tracks. Same as the original APE version but with some necessary fixes added.
Various Artists / Los Angeles, November 2019 (2011 Remastered) fixed by Pendor
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=4YILCX8Z
It’s a cdimage. Same as the original mix perhaps. It has lots of fixes and a different/corrected indexing for the tracks.
Both these were possibly sourced from the only version that was ever shared… (if not a re-encode from one of the former fake lossless versions as it has been suggested)
You can find it here in its original form:
Thread 72496
If you want to apply the fix to all the versions on the Esper Retirement, MR3 and everything… you need to do the job that Zhora and Guilli have been doing for all the different editions… track 9 of one version is not going to match with another version because of the differences in amplitude, indexing, choice of editing and everything else.
Just use the fixed versions as posted above and you’ll never regret the cd’s you are going to burn! Trust the men! 🙂
If you need to splice the tracks into the APE file you will have to decompress to Wav first. Then using Medieval Cue Splitter (http://www.medieval.it/cuesplitter-pc/menu-id-71.html) you can splice the file into separate tracks if you wish. Always remember to burn the cd with no pause in between tracks if you have done so. 🙂
And yes, both links redirect to a full version of the L.A. November 2019 album! 😉
Zhora here. I can’t access this site under my old account for whatever brilliant reason. If anyone can help with this that would be great.
To Terry Sci-Fi and anyone else. The Los Angeles November 2019 fixed folder that I sent last is the entire album fixed. You do NOT need to replace track 9 in your old version. This is the entire album ready to burn. The same goes for Guilli’s version also.
Regards,
Zhora.

Notes :
This is my personal review of Blade Runner music.
Basically it consists of a compilation of all the music that we can hear throughout the film, chronologically sorted. I’ve only added some little sound effects (no voices) taken from the same scene where the music sounds in order to create a continuous flow. You’ll be able to hear subtles variations of well known themes with added extracts from the surround Dvd channels.
Nothing new, in fact, but for me a great opportunity to hear all the music in the film’s way.
Specially difficult for me has been to create a version of Dangerous Days and Wounded Animals tracks. There’s a lot of variations, including the last official Blade Runner trilogy that convert it in a little chaos. I’ve tried to respect the film version but I assume that maybe people prefer longer Gongo or Bootleg versions. End Titles are official 1994 version (for me the best sounding) and Main Titles are from final cut Dvd.
In Sushi Bar I’ve mixed "If I Didn’t Care" that it can be briefly heard on rear channels of the scene.
Basically the sources of the music I’ve used proceed from the final cut and workprint DVDs with a few addition from the different musical sources (Gongo, Esper edition, Deck Art, Outtakes…) in order to complete some tracks.
I’ve mixed them using Audacity and Cool Edit Pro with a Creative Xfi 24 bit sound card at 48 kHz. Using music from different sources I’ve tried to normalize the sound but not manipulating it so much, trying in all cases to get the best quality.
I hope you’ll like it.
Vicente, Sat Jan 26, 2008

"It consists in a "cronologically ordered" soundtrack without adding tracks or "alternate" music, with subtle sound effects and no voices at all.
Actually, it tries to be a complete and strict musical version of the film."
"It’s, basically, a chronological ordered music version of the film taken from different sources, without dialogues and with the minimal sfx."
——————————————————————————–
Comments :
This is stage one of five work in progress renditions to get to a definitive vision of the Blade Runner soundtrack. More than two years in the making with subtle yet effective changes when moving to the next stage, this release is to date one of the best sounding approaches to the unreleased Vangelis cues used in the movie. It appears that it was soon decided to move to a different solution than the mixed approach as used in the Esper edition perhaps, and that approach seems to be the generally accepted vision of this release. Here’s the original idea behind the concept. Unfortunaly an official tracklisting, which might have been originally supposed to act like an ideal cuesheet, never reached us. Only by sheer chance the original FLAC’s made it to us.
For this we are indebted to Xavier who preserved this safely on disc.
If you give something you get something back as it is always the case.
Our gratitude for sharing back this. The original had the first track way too low in gain. Since this was ready corrected with a fresh start in the stage that soon followed, it was decided to retain the fixed version as intended by the maker with the unmixed version that came after this.
Synaptyx was here recalled to his former duty since he had already taken care of the graphics for the initial stage of the unmixed version that followed short after.
Thanks for the prompt artwork to the release!

All right… let me find something to distract people’s attention from the real answer until something springs to mind… no… I am not a politician… not good at telling lies pretending it is the true…
http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_rWu9Py2Ylzk/TDuHQ4h0d5I/AAAAAAAAABU/kjwjTQ03z_w/s1600/lie.gif
…neither I am a good actor… at least a very talented one… one of those that can really lie to you and make you crying… so I must tell you all the truth… or better the part I know of it…
It was actually shared as a very limited download only version… mainly for friends lovers and family, non-professionally printed and physically traded for some of the other editions that were eventually shared here and when the right time came to share it officially in lossless format the idea of making it better came out our hats so to speak.
So for the lossless release it was chosen to make it better and after some re-workings and better edits (also thanks to the other sources that have been gathered in the meanwhile and the help of some members here) time passed until this very month… or at least the very next month when the lossless will be finally posted!
And this is really the only good reason we can give not to have it posted here yet. I trust we might be forgiven in a month or so! 🙂
Right now we are trying to figure out which Vincente’s version is which…

I’ve mixed them using Audacity and Cool Edit Pro with a Creative Xfi 24 bit sound card at 48 kHz. Using music from different sources I’ve tried to normalize the sound but not manipulating it so much, trying in all cases to get the best quality.
I hope you???ll like it.

The Sound Of Blade Runner vol 1 ??? 2008
The Sound Of Blade Runner vol 2 ??? 2008
It consists in a "cronologically ordered" soundtrack without adding tracks or "alternate" music, with subtle sound effects and no voices at all. Actually, it tries to be a complete and strict musical version of the film.
Greetings.
An "enhanced" version of Esper enhancement track you can find on "The Sound of BR vol 1".
I hope you’ll like it.

The Sound Of Blade Runner 2009 Edition ??? 2009
Hi to everybody.
Adding some news to this amazing world of Blade Runner soundtrack I’ve made some changes to my personal review called "The sound of Blade Runner".
In this, more musical, new 2009 edition I’ve changed several tracks of my previous version cleaning the sound in some cases, making longer versions and trying to eliminate not desired sfx.
When possible I’ve chosen only the best lossless sources mixing them if necessary with unreleased parts, in this case in the best format i could find.
There are also some incidental unreleased music taken directly from the DVD sources.
Specially difficult for me has been the "Dangerous days -Wounded Animals" track mixing.
In the previous version i added some scene background effects like thunders or the "japanese" female voice in order to recreate the dark atmosphere.
This time I’ve rearranged all and now you’ll listen to only music including the "cat howl " scene mixed with several parts of Wounded animals, Deckard And Roy’s Duel and Dangerous days trying to respect the film sequence and without voices or sfx.
I’ve avoided the distorsioned bass sound parts of bootlegged "Wounded animals" in order to create a 10 min 15 sec "sound clear" version.
Most changes on this 2009 version are variations from 2008 edition but I think they worth it. Finally I’ve put all of this in three separate volumes with a new cover.
For those who downloaded the 2008 version i’ll put an archive with only the new adds in rapidshare.
If somebody want the entire 2009 edition tell me and i’ll give you the new rapidshare links.
Greetings.

Vicente, Fri Mar 6, 2009
Well, first of all, thanks for your comments. I’m very happy knowing people who have listening and enjoying with my little contribution to our favourite soundtrack.
You should know I’m only an spanish guy from Barcelona with a domestic Pc, some music software and really devoted to Vangelis music. Maybe a little perfeccionist with sound quality and that’s all.
Answering to S???bastien, I edit all the sound with Adobe Audition.
With DVD cues I use the typical cut, copy and mix paste, fade in and fade out tools. I don’t like an excessive sound editing with stereo expansors, equalizers or similar (they usually get sound a little "dirty" ). Maybe a litlle amplification avoiding high pics distortion and if necessary a standard deHiss.
All those new musical cues who you can listening to in TSOBR 2009 come directly from surround channels of "The final cut" and "The workprint edition" Blue Ray and standard DVDs. I extract a 5.1 Wav only track
from each chapter with Eac3to and then I begin to work. I’ve noticed that non English film versions (Spanish in my case) have a very musical background rear channels with no voices or sound fx included. (i.e Morning at the Bradbury or Prodigal son brings death prologue).
I only have to choose different musical passages and edit them with Audacity, mixing then with the other musical sources i’ve used (mainly Original Gongo Bootleg, Trilogy, 1994 official cd and (what a pity) my only mp3 copy of BR suite Outtakes.
Originally TSOBR 2008 was a more "filmic" oriented version ( you’ll specially find it in tracks like If I didn’t care or Pris meets Sebastian) but lately i changed all to a more musical oriented suite. Nevertheless i’ve decided keeping some of those "atmospheric" 2008 tracks. Simply I liked them.
And answering to Mark, Why three Cds? Well, just a litlle caprice.
My personal Trilogy ;-).
Ok guys, thanks again. I’m waiting for more new surprises. Maybe from Vangelis this time?
Let’s hope so
Greetings.

Today I’ve just made a little discover. I have found a special version of Manufactured skin and Taffy’s club on the Blu Ray DVD soundtrack. I think that the main difference with the other versions is the absence of people voices (specially at Taffy’s club ) and a little music variation (lenghth is practically the same). Maybe they’re well known versions but I didn’t find anywhere.
Greetings.

Message #3117
Quick question for you Vicente just to make sure: the only tracks you made changes to in the 2009 version are the eleven tracks included in the "2009 edits" downloads, the remaining tracks are identical to the 2008 version? I downloaded only the 2009 changes/additions and not the full version since I already have your 2008 version and didn’t want to hassle with downloading something I already have. Thanks!
Christian, Wed Mar 11, 2009
Message #3118
Yes, it’s ok. I’ve put them separately for those people who had the 2008 version. You should only add (or replace) Taffy’s and Manufactured Skin I added yesterday. These are a really new addition (for me too)

The Sound Of Blade Runner 2010 Edition ??? 2010
Well, like I promised, is time for little news.
First of all, for people who got my previous TSBR editions, I’ve to say that there are only a few new adds this time but I think they worth it. I’ll begin to put only the new one tracks here with a little explanation of changes in this new 2010 edition. Basically they are new sounds I’ve found searching in BR workprint and Blu-Ray edition.
I know they are minor changes but I think this is the way to spice things up a bit specially now there’s no news about Vangelis and his music…
Greetings.
Vicente, Sun Jan 10, 2010
Well, This is the first add: 06 From Police Headquarters to Tyrell Co.
It’s a new version from TSBR 2009 Tyrell Co., vol1 track 6. Now is 2′ 28" long and you can listen to new Vangelis an ambient sounds located in police headquarters (interview with Deckard scene) now without any voices or distortion. Clear sound and in flac version.
This is the link : 06_From_Police_Headquarters_to_Tyrell_Co_.flac
Well, tomorrow another one…
Second track for this 2010 edition: (The seventh from disc 1)
Rachel new edit: Now you can hear amazing new Vangelis sounds hidden in surround channels from Workprint edition. Wait for the last seconds of this track…
Rachel_2010_edit.flac
Waiting for the new BR addition lately I put a new piece of my Grand Suite series for those who enjoy like me with Vangelis music and for people that are just discovering this great artist.
Here you are GRAND_SUITE_PART_8.mp3
Well, now is the time. The third add to TSBR is the fantastic "Chew’s Lab" theme (11th track in TSBR vol 1). You all know that it appears with crystal clear sound in BR trilogy. That’s why the only thing I’ve done with it’s an enhanced mix with background sounds and Vangelis music effects that appear inside the surround channels. It seems the same track (only 15 seconds longer) but there’s a lot of "hidden" new sounds that you’ll discover if you pay attention. Look at the sound spectrum differences with original.
Not an spectacular addition but I like it. 11_Chew_s_Lab_2010.flac.
See you tomorrow.
Regards.
Vicente
Message #3414
The next track is not one of the main themes of BR but I think it’s very Vangelis style one. It’s the small "I’m the Bussiness" theme now with a new introduction.
Tell me if you like it.

Next track is an extended film version of " Rachel sleeps ", now 3′ 45” long and with a windy introduction like you can hear while Rachel is sleeping (not while Roy Batty is waving goodbye, Mr Rousseau). Enjoy it and please, tell me something about these new adds, I’m a little sad these winter days and I need some positive feedback. ;-).
The best news is that our friend Jack will do the Cover art for this "definitive" version of TSBR. He put me some previews and I think it’s an awesome work. In a few days all this stuff will be finished, don’t worry.

The Sound Of Blade Runner Definitive Edition ??? 2010
Ok, this is my last post with new music for TSBR project. I think all my contribution to this wonderful soundtrack is really over now. That’s why I’ve decided to call it Definitive edition. With these four tracks you’ll have my complete version. You all know my original idea was to compile a soundtrack with music in the way that we can hear inside the film and that’s what I’ve been trying to do.
Last additions are four.
1. Pris Meets Sebastian : A re-edited version with BR blues intro and music inside Bradbury’s building.
2. Dangerous days Raw version: Music directly extracted from Blu Ray 28 and 29 chapters. Minimal edition and only without human voices.
3. Wounded Animals Raw version: Music from BluRay, 30 to 33 chapters. Rain, lightning, doves and another sound effects but always with original film music.
4. TSBR intro: A brief introduction mixing some amazing BR Sounds TSBR intro
And now we only have to wait for the great Jack’s contribution who is working onTSBR Definitive Edition covers.
Best regards

I am inclined to think the version posted by JacKc should be the Definitive Edition while the one you upped on br2019 should be the 2010 edition… but we need to wait for Zhora’s kind contribution to the current investigations to solve the mystery!
Hi DC
I am almost totally confused now 😉
On JacKc’s ‘Black & White Workprint’ version the first track TSOBR Intro is 3:29 long, but on Vicente’s ‘2010 definitive’ version it is only 0:51.
Am I missing something here?
I am almost totally confused now 😉
On JacKc’s ‘Black & White Workprint’ version the first track TSOBR Intro is 3:29 long, but on Vicente’s ‘2010 definitive’ version it is only 0:51.
Am I missing something here?
No… it is not you missing something… it is almost everybody including me… All the Vicente’s releases are sitting on my desktop but I still have not found the time to make out a sense out of them.
I have pratically checked all the messages he left on Yahoo and I might be able to sort that mystery out… I intend to do so for a master post on the lossy thread anyway. JacKc was kindly sent a copy, so the one he has uploaded should be the definitive edition (call it black & white or workprint as I was erroneously believing), while the one posted by Synaptyx on br2019.com should be the 2010 edition since he got it before JacKc.
This is the only thing I know for sure but I need to triple-check everything on the files I am having and which were posted as the project progressed. I’ll get back with the relative infos to add on our back-ups soon. 🙂

Notes :
2011 started with the release of Blade Runner: EMS Recombination; a team
effort to create a Blade Runner soundtrack as clean as possible, without F/X
and dialogue for fans to enjoy. On its release the soundtrack was well
received, spawning numerous other compilations. However the work didn’t stop
there.
For the lossless release, the EMS Team wanted to offer something a little
different and not just repackage the original version. Changes were made to
the running order and tracks were reworked as other sources were found.
Extended versions of "At Mr. Chew’s" and "Desolation Path" were created along
with new tracks "Waiting For Zhora" and "Memories Of Green/Blade Runner
Blues". With the help of some new friends, the EMS Team are proud to
present for the first time a clean version of "Thinking Of Rachel".
——————————————————————————–
Comments :
Blade Runner EMS Recombination is an own attempt to create a Best of
soundtrack from all the available bootlegs of Vangelis’ superb score.
The selection criteria was very simple: find the pieces that represented the
film score in their cleanest (without dialogue and sfx as much as was
possible) versions and be of the best available sound quality. It kept most
of the titles of the source tracks only changing a few as some had some
obscure titles not immediately obvious to the wider audience.
I hope you enjoy listening as much as I did while making this compilation

Thanks, glad you like our work. Having been so close to the project for over a year now, sometimes you need to step back and smell the roses, so I’m listening to it again at the moment without my EMS hat on and I am impressed as ever by the work done by my EMS colleagues DC and Jack.

Lately I am trying to make sense off what I gathered through the years and I have asked Zhora to have a link for the version he was having for the Esper MR3.
About the links posted:
#1 – The first one is the same as Disc 1 from the MK2. A log for the rip is missing but it could be found on another rip* for the MR3. The waveforms do not match obviously.
#2 – The second disc is from Disc 2 from the MR3 as we know it. The log is present and it is from the same rip* for the MR3. Same waveform.
#3 – The third disc I cannot tell which is which. No log was ever posted for that.
As far as I know the version on the MR3 should have a +8db rise in gain after the initial esper machine noises at 0:20 sec.
Perhaps the original MR3 did not have Disc 3 modified, perhaps some ebay seller tampered with that and that’s how we knew that… but unless someone is coming out with an original… that’s it.
I tend to believe the modified version is the MR3 version… so the version posted on link 3 is closer to the original Esper version of the LA 2019 disc from 2003.
#4 – Disc 4 was exclusive to the MR3 release so that is what it states. It contains the same glitchy track 13 as we all have it.
About disc 4: the only version (which I have on mp3) that does not have problems on track 13 has disc 1 from the MK2 version and disc 3 from the 2003 version of the LA 2019 album. Same source as the one posted above by Zhora it seems.
What I am doing is layering the full decompressed wav’s of everything including the decoded mp3’s versions of them and get rid once for all of all the junk if possible… but unless the makers come out in the open… there is no way to solve this except from what we might guess from what was left us…
Not that is being that important. I have re-done everything from sctratch about the Esper releases and got something different… but that will have to wait a bit…
Thanks very much for the links Zhora! 🙂

These are the complete stages of the five work in progress renditions to get to a definitive vision of the Blade Runner soundtrack. More than three years in the making with subtle yet effective changes when moving to the next stage, this release is to date one of the best sounding approaches to the unreleased Vangelis cues used in the movie. It appears that it was soon decided to move to a different solution rather than the initial mixed approach as used in the Esper edition perhaps, and that approach seems to be the generally accepted vision of this release. The original titles as intended by the maker were retained.
For a more detailed "making of" of the different editions see also the messages that accompanied the releases as a testimony of the spirit that animated the whole Blade Runner Soundtrack Yahoo! Group at the time.
When The Sound Of Blade Runner Definitive Edition 2010 was ultimated, the maker as part of a personal thank you to friends and people who contributed to the project also with their support, sent out a limited set of the release which included a special bonus disc along with some last moment changes and unedited versions of some of the cues officially posted on the Yahoo! group.
I am almost totally confused now 😉
On JacKc’s ‘Black & White Workprint’ version the first track TSOBR Intro is 3:29 long, but on Vicente’s ‘2010 definitive’ version it is only 0:51.
Am I missing something here?
Even if they are not exactly the same, they are the same releases essentially. Only differences on what I will be referring to as the Limited Edition, is that it has some tiny little details (very minimal) on 2 tracks and 2 different edits of the same songs… however it did include a fourth bonus disc exclusive to this release which was omitted from the official posts on Yahoo and BR2019.
Differences with JacKc’s version and the torrent posted on www.br2019.com are as follow:
The Sound Of Blade Runner Intro (Full Length Version) 3:29
The Sound Of Blade Runner Intro 0:51
Rachel (there is a stronger change in volume at 1m 12s)
Rachel
Tears in the rain (rainy edit) (there is a softer change in volume at 0m 55s)
Tears in the rain (rainy edit)
Dangerous Days Raw (Full Length Version) 2:47
Dangerous Days Raw 2:18
So basically JacKc’s version has two longer edits (or better two longer unedited versions).
The rest of the songs are exactly the same down to the frame. So we want to keep the more detailed Limited Edition for posterity.
These are the different edits of the official version… (the archive also includes the outtakes and the grand suites):
The Vicente Blade Runner Edition 2007-2010 – Part 1 (http://www.mediafire.com/?55qs03mw343sh53)
The Vicente Blade Runner Edition 2007-2010 – Part 2 (http://www.mediafire.com/?5h74e9vo6xqnmqz)
For The Sound Of Blade Runner 2010 Edition Vicente made some major changes to eight tracks compared to the previous 2009 version. With the last four additions that followed shortly after the 2010 Edition the project turned into The Sound Of Blade Runner Definitive Edition… also according to the maker’s choice for a better name to reflect the latest changes. … and that was the last chapter for the Vicente’s Blade Runner Edition.
A special thank you to Zhora, JacKc, Synaptyx and Xavier for the help given in re-assembling something that seemed to have gone lost in hd crashes and forgotten backups.
NB: You do not need to re-download the whole thing again! You only need to rename the archives you have already downloaded if you please. 😉
A more complete and detailed lossy backup on Vicente’s work will follow soon on Thread 72496.
For a detailed "making of" of the different editions see also the http://forums.ffshrine.org/f92/do-androids-dream-lossless-audio-files-blade-75274/24.html#post1758230 notes on the post. I have included them also in the additional links anyway.
There were surely different edits of the same tracks as the editing work proceeded but this is what it was made official.
The sample rate on most of the tracks vary between 44.1 KHz cd quality and 48 KHz dvd quality.
The bit-depth is 16 bit except 07 Taffy’s club.flac which is 24 bit.
In order to successfully burn a copy of it you have to re-sample all tracks to 44 KHz and dithering to 16 bits the Taffey’s Club track last. Audacity (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/) will be all right for the purpose.
CDArchitect will do that on the fly even in demo mode… Always decompress from flac to wav first, resample to 44 KHz and then dither to 16 bits on the files needed.
For more detailed instructions see below:
If your PC soundcard is not supporting bitrates bigger than 16 bit it might not open or play the file at all… I have a professional soundcard so for me it is a lot easier… the whole The Sound Of Blade Runner release needs to be dithered from 24 to 16 bits and resampled from 48 to 44 kHz on most of the tracks. Either you are fluent with audio editors either you will get into some troubles to burn that…
CDArchitect will do that on the fly even in demo mode…
Let’s see… first you need to re-sample all tracks to 44 KHz. At least the ones at 48 KHz. For the purpose check this:
r8brain (http://www.voxengo.com/product/r8brain/)
07 Taffey’s club.wav is 24 bit and 48 KHz… so you need to dither the file to 16 bits as the last thing to do in the audio chain…
Audacity will show the actual sample rate but only the bit depth you have instructed the software to work.
Preferences — quality — default sample rate —
If you install dBpoweramp you will get the correct resolution of every audio file when the mouse is passing on them if you like… I have it installed on every machine running windows…
YOU NEED TO DECOMPRESS THE FLAC TO WAV FIRST BECAUSE AUDACITY CANNOT HANDLE FLAC FILES!
It freeze my computer too if I try to import the 24 bit flac…
Decompress to wav first.
Export the file as wav. It will export a fully dithered 16 bit resolution file with dither on as specified in the setting in the Preferences — quality — panel…
Make sure you are working with copies of a file you intend to work since Audacity cannot handle unlimited undo’s—
We cannot possibly thank enough Vicente for what he has achieved.
Somehow his work went lost for most younger peers.
I just felt to re-post this for the historical value that his work has.
His work meant a lot to the new replicant peers on the block, as the work of Sebastian, Jamie, Chandler, Plimmy, Anita, Alvaro, Anthony Micele, and as the input of Antas, Steven, Bentley… the artworks of Synaptyx, JacKc and Pendor.
And the list goes on… you know who you are.
I just wanted to express our gratitude to Vicente for his work on the soundtrack making people aware of a project that is sounding as better as the ones you might end up buying on eBay perhaps… if not better.
I trust the people who understand the concept behind this release might appreciate what he did.
On behalf of most peers that simply came after everything was already shared.
Our belated "muchas gracias" to Vicente! 🙂
Our belated "muchas gracias" to Vicente! 🙂
I second that most wholeheartedly!
And thanks DC for doing the research and writing up this interesting article.
After having posted it I started having nightmares thinking someone might end up doing that!
And concerning The Sound Of Blade Runner Intro (Full Length Version) 3:29 you were referring… it was a "dedicated personal version" not even included in the Limited Version pictured above… once in a while it was this place to have all the luck for a change! 🙂
Vangelis’s "To the Unknown Man" must have been dedicated to JacKc perhaps!
So, I now double my thank-you-very-much! 😉

I’ve noticed that 2 threads have vanished. The Blade Runner Related thread and the Vangelis thread.
Does anyone know what has happened and whether they will be back.
Cheers, Zhora.
I am sending a message to Sarah and company to let them know.
I’m keeping my fingers crossed.
Thanks.

I think we might all need to update our bookmarks for the threads then….

I’ve updated my bookmarks and all seems okay now.
Thanks very much.

your work has been amazing, thanks a lot for your dedication to Blade Runner.
Everyone owes a lot to the makers of these compilations and reworks, BUT let us not forget the middleman DC for such great distribution without whom a lot of us would never have heard this wonderful music.
THANK YOU.

No need to panic, but follow the advice as soon as possible please. Thanks.
I second this. Details please!
When I was asked to join this project I was astounded by what B5 was wanting to achieve with his first compilation. I already knew Jack for his excellent graphic skills after having stumbled on FFS during the usual searches for my preferred soundtrack. I was working on a partial restoration of the sources on tape and once we got to exchange some different opinions on what we both wanted to achieve, Jack kindly offered to free me from the task of making the covers (I don’t have all the time in the world to learn everything I’m afraid) leaving me more time to concentrate on the audio. It will have to be thanks to him that at an idle stage of our interest for the Blade Runner matter all his covers will stay on our homemade cd cases. (I’m afraid we cannot all be the limited number of lucky collectors that afforded the originals…) and Jack’s work on that along with Synaptyx, Pendor and the rest is something to praise. B5 was exceptionally good in planning the overall plot to which me and Jack added the extra details. He is also good at what he writes actually. That was where he took his nickname if you can keep the secret!
Something that has been lying right there in front of everybody. Someone had surely picked up a best of every-other-bootleg around, like 1187hunterwasser did on page 3 of the ultimate thread in compiling a list that went to be the inspiration for a release called 29th anniversary that will be eventually posted on FFS. Also Donnor has done a great job in isolating the unreleased tracks on his blog that ended up becoming the inspiration for the maker of the 2019 edition. Something very similar to the EMS called Chinatown Club (a compilation contemporary to it) ended up being re-shaped in its concept according to what was done on the EMS 2010.
The EMS cleverly used the best of the best sources around at the initial stage of compiling. The “Chinatown Club” had something different though. A more cinematic feel perhaps. At least I saw that as the difference I wanted to make to the maker’s original concept (a nice peer named Zelmo Swift) when I was asked to help with the edits on that. Hopefully it sits in a different direction now. I believe the main credit of the EMS project is to have seen through the different sources and the work of others to shape a perfect sounding version of the soundtrack and somehow that was achieved in the concept that B5 has given to the release.
As B5 has pointed out: "The selection criteria was very simple: find the pieces that represented the film score in their cleanest (without dialogue and sfx as much as was possible) versions and be of the best available sound quality. It kept most of the titles of the source tracks only changing a few as some had some obscure titles not immediately obvious to the wider audience."
When we finally id’ed one of the japanese sources (also thanks to the input of 1187hunterwasser and Donnor) the idea of a the bonus disc was developed giving the release that more cinematic approach that I was furthering in the making of a release called Ultimate MR3. We went a bit lost at this stage since we had to actually create something that was not immediately there this time. B5 was busy balancing EMS duties with his real life job and I was feeling lost from the sudden passing of my hardware. It took more to shape the bonus disc than the rest of it in a way.
I found myself working at four different projects at the same time, messing things up among these and losing track of the notes and edits done for each one. All the suggestions made on the Yahoo soundtrack group were taken verbatim and for that I have to thank Chandler from the Grey Fedora team. Vicente and Sebastian work was taken into great account too, as the work by Anthony Micele on some of the edits we borrowed his ideas. The list goes on up to the Esper makers and the Shimato Dominguez Corporation for the Off World edition. All the different versions were analyzed and all waveforms compared to check for anything quirk. I had already started doing this for some work on the master tapes I did some short time before. In the making I ended up re-doing the whole Esper releases and being able to fix most of the faulty tracks on some releases thanks to the FIC sources that were used for the M???moires series and Asian Worlds releases. Once you know the sources the rest is editing and sequencing. And there are only three. The movie audio streams (the FIC source being the stereo mix of the dubs), the master tapes (the outtakes being the fully mastered cues) and the official 1994 and 2007 releases. The sources that did not comply with the correct pitch posed a major problem, and most of the people that worked on Blade Runner material know of the +4% curse of most of the music in order to be used for the movie. There is something called time stretching when working on different analogue audio sources and those algorithms take up hours when working on large portions of audio but that was accomplished when doing something else while patiently waiting for the output. I would grow mad and I would curse when realizing a silly mistake in the elements for the calculations… but that is the way when working on anything… trial and error until it gets closer to what you are expecting. B5 and Jack have a word for that… but as pointed out… no one is perfect… that’s why pencils have erasers. Two computers passed away without warning and in between that a couple of hard disk drives said goodbye without a second call. Somehow I was able to retrieve most of the data I needed for the projects I was working on and ended up buying also an external 250 GB HD to make sense of all of this, but everything about the making of things went messed up and cannot tell which is which or how I got to that stage even if the final results are sitting here waiting to find the right time to make an useful sense of it. Presets used now are something for the FBI computer experts only to try to make a sense out of it. After the EMS 2010 was out a limited set of copies were traded and shared and thanks to that we were able to add some extra sources we only had in a poor quality until that day, so I ended up re-editing them with better quality sources tweaking the hell out of them to make sense in making sitting them in the same disc. You tell if I got it right or not, but that was the best I could get out of what we had. If Vangelis will step up on earth again after gazing for a last time at us from mount Olympus he will make sense of everything we did wiping everything else out with a snap of a finger like lightning! Until that that was the best we could achieve. Lots of editing went on between what B5 visualised as the finished concept for it and what I was apparently seeing.
I was simply making an extension to what I was working to at the time (the Ultimate MR3) and in hindsight B5 was right. Jack ended to be the inspiration for lots of the added material with his ideas and somehow was caught in between since we all had our ideas for that and did not want to waste one either… so it took all the time it took us to finish off the last details since May 2011 when almost everything was ready for the first 3 discs.
What was not yet available was done, what had to be made better was done along what was already made by Vicente, Chandler, Plimmy, Sebastian, Jamie, Antas, Zyzz and so on. If you can’t beat them try to sound like them. Disc 1 to 3 is the same music you have been always hoping for in a way. The bonus disc is a different angle of the japanese cues used in the movie. And for different angle I mean it.
The original sources were remixed so to enhance some of the aspects buried in the official view of the movie.
Some of the original 1992 version was eventually retained since the new 2007 version has been changing things in a drastic way (and not always as satisfactory way). Also the workprint version was used as you might hear.
The list of the sources is including all the infos that you might need, but as responsible for most of the edits most tracks were quite re-enhanced and re-worked, denoised and changed compared to the original sources, that I now lost track of what was done. A final note must go along the Spiderwalk’s Complete score sources since while working on all the sources gathered I found myself in stepping back to the original sources used by the maker (25th anniversary edition) to achieve longer or different fades. B5 got them from there anyway. It remains another best of sources matter of fact. Props to the maker. The sources are here anyway. Lots of work has been done on “Thinking of Rachel” alone. When B5 mentioned the idea of something clean anyone would have never expected the version we came up with in the end. I had already made an edit for the “Chinatown Club” but those distracting elements from the movie (which I did not mind at all) were still there even if the idea of a cleaner version with Morrisey saxophone was one of B5’s wishes for the EMS from day one. I pretty hate denoisers since the very first time I used an analogue one in a recording studio, but Anita and Zyzz pretty changed my view seeing what they did. Anita is the maker of The Tales Of The Future release and Zyzz is the maker of the Blade Runner 2011 restored remastered edition. What you hear is a combined edit of the various tries by the people involved in the restoration process. Everything was then pasted by the frame and ready to be mastered for the EMS release. The master track was achieved from more than 4 GB’s of data anyway and no way I could possibly re-do that. That was like the Director’s cut in a way… trial and errors until it got to that stage. The cleaning up of the Myagi song was a bit of a nightmare since it was a transfer from a very old vinyl and once you get rid of the defects of your original the defects of the original source used comes forward… Basically the original master was a vinyl transfer itself… I’m hoping a good master for it will be made available one day. It should be part of human patrimony… I wish Columbia might do that one day. As for me it took a whole month to fix a single song.
My original plan to restore all the vinyl became impossible because of time restrictions. If no one else does it, I would like to do that before I retire… For the Flute track and the Percussion track there was a lot of work also.
We had a preview of the isolated audio streams taken from the movie from Zyzz (whose work is to keep an eye on by the way) and I came up with the idea of layering a different mix the original elements partly removed from it to put back the spatial reference to the movie so to get the background music coming through as you would have never listened to because it was simply buried in the mix. Zyzz eventually decided not to include that cue on his release since he had chosen not to compromise on sound quality for his 2011 edition and B5 was gladly accepting that as a contribution while me and Jack tried to get the best of both worlds in doing what we ended up to use for the bonus disc. I hope we pleased everyone on that. We had our discussions and we chose to compromise on lots of things, but as time was passing by we had the chance to realize what was being done and naturally came to the solutions for our different ideas in the end. And I am glad we did. It was team work up to the last bit. Time helped a lot, giving us the time to focus on the smaller details in order to achieve what you now are holding. Longer unedited versions are floating around but will be used for the Ultimate MR3 along with the other reworks that did not make it on the official tracklist… I am not going to mention the box of shame we deserved for the artworks… Only when everyone was done with the audio testing we kept spotting errors that kept on returning after having been fixed once and re-appeared after changing things all over again. Jack had plenty of patience in re-touching everything readily. He gets all the credit for the best dress the EMS could hope for and useful suggestions he made all along.
And those are the words I have for these two wonderful chaps!
It was nice having you guys as partners in crime really! 😉

Help…
iam new here and iam a big Blade Runner fan. I dont have any of this "Blade Runner bootlegs" because i thought they have a bad sound quality compared to the offical released soundtracks. Now i get interessting as i see this thread…
My question; is there a "collect post" of all this loseless "BR bootleg sounds" in 1 audioformat (FLAC) or i rly have to read and collect all the 29 sites? =(
APE is useless for me, many HiFi components start to support FLAC now (Onkyo, Yamaha etc.) the format go very popular now, but they cant read APE or some other exotic audioformats.
Greetings
APE… useless… exotic???
You might want to try and decompress those ‘useless’ APE files back to ‘useful’ WAV files first then. That’s what we all have to do when we want to burn the lossless files that are shared here on CD. Afterwards you can then compress back to FLAC, or to whatever audio format you like. There is free software available that will even convert from APE to FLAC in one go, e.g. foobar2000. Give it a try!
yes oh i mean useless for ME. I dont have stand-alone equipment which can play these APE files, or my portable player which also cant play APE only FLAC. For me only the PC can play APE. Thats what i wanted to say. You guys are able to play these APE files elsewhere then on a Computer?
Look at Onkyo they have now new HiFi AMPs/Receiver with support for: (MP3, WMA, WMA Lossless, FLAC, WAV, Ogg Vorbis, AAC, LPCM) thats nice! So i thought this APE format is an exotic format, but iam not an expert with this formats. 🙂
Greetings
Sorry for offtopic but its still loseless after this convert progress, didnt i loose some quality then?
Thank you, i love this thread 🙂
Nope. All’ll be fine! 🙂

Help…
I’m afraid we cannot help that much this time.
I suppose you had this from the list on: www.traderpage.net – rare soundtracks – trade only! (http://www.anunna.net/traderpage/index.php?methode=methode7)
… so unless you have something really worth to trade… all the best for your trading… not an easy task.
If you have a look at the thread you might see why we resolved to create some of the releases that might be also listed there…
Blade Runner (Omissis Records) 73’02 14 tracks
Same goes for the Nexus 6 version which is a repack of the Off World Edition for Volume 1 and the Gongo Edition for Volume 2.
Get the Nexus 6 Volume 3 on this thread since it will sound better than the original releases used to assemble the Nexus 6 version.
For the Alexander (2cd’s by Storm Records) see the Thread 94478
Sorry not to have been of great help on this occasion!
Sorry for offtopic but its still loseless after this convert progress, didnt i loose some quality then?
Whatever format you use to go from wav to lossless and back will retain the same quality as long it uses a lossless codec. Plenty to choose from for the task! 🙂

Wishing B5historyman a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 🙂
This golden edition of the japanese disc is the version which was originally intended for the release of the bonus disc. With our gratitude to the maker from the rest of the EMS Team, DC & JacKc… Have a better one! 😉
——————————————————————————–
Every new addition to the EMS Recombination is always very welcome!
Once again many, many, many thanks to the entire team!
It’s just an add-on to the EMS 2011 archives previosly posted by b5historyman on page 27! 🙂
… also to wish everybody All The Best for the year we are starting in a way! 😉
Sorry, it is my fault. I should have included the full content as originally intended, but I wanted to spare people to download the same files another time… so I just packed the additional files in the archive… Just drop the files into the EMS respective folder and that’s it. 🙂
The archive includes the extra artworks and the added notes, plus a .cue file intended to use with the .ape files on B5’s original post. This shorter version of the japanese disc (only five tracks) is the version which was originally intended for the release of the bonus disc. It has a better flow… though it is not as complete as the extended tracklist (ten tracks in total) used for the official release. 😉
<–Duh! 😉
The promo version is the official preview of the song while the bootleg version was banned for copyright violation… pretty different though…
Official demo:
Vangelis – Rachel’s Song (Andy Moor Remix) by djandymoor on SoundCloud – Create, record and share your sounds for free (http://soundcloud.com/djandymoor/vangelis-rachels-song-andy)
Sorry for being off-topic, but I was scanning through all the pages to find the versions I needed and I ended up looking for so much more. So I had to come back and make a correction for those that care about tagging ;p
Yeah, it IS pretty different, cause Rachel’s Song (7:46) is not remixed by Andy Moor, but by Dj Eco – VANGELIS Rachel’s Song dj Eco mix ( TRANCENTRAL UK).wmv – YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0zAQ9QPIL0)
I don’t think there are two Andy Moor versions. I believe his only version is just the one @ soundcloud (the other mix in the archive seems to be ripped from a live set).
Btw, a -supposedly- higher quality version of Dj Eco’s Remix than the one you posted lies here (http://www29.zippyshare.com/v/45315670/file.html)
Apologies, it’s still lossy, even though I’m sure you got it covered in all these BR threads.
I am glad I was wong! 🙂
I had a look on Beatport but that particular version is not out yet.
Is there around a Vynil/CDr of it?
The "supposedly- higher quality version" and "though I’m sure you got it covered in all these BR threads" are giving me something to worry!
Is it a video rip from YouTube?
As for the second comment you quoted, since I dug up such an old post, I figured you must have found quality versions of all these tracks (I still haven’t checked the Esper Retirement’s edition 6th disc or the tons of tracks that Zhora posts in the other thread). Maybe I was wrong.
That’s all the info I got on the Dj Eco track, as of yet.
Regards 😉
The final draft of the masters is currently being re-shipped to a different host because of the SOPA act… 🙁
Further changes are being discussed, better sources were in some cases considered… It is finished anyway. 😉
If I think that it was supposed to be a joke of the 20th Anniversary… and it is now turning into something different…

"Hi everyone, I made a personal edit of Blade Runner soundtrack. Most of these tracks are similar to the Esper Edition, nothing new in this edition. I just thought that it was a pleasure to make a own bootleg soundtrack.

Another piece in a puzzle that it is slowly being put together. Again it went lost someplace somewhere only to resurface by chance.
Somehow we always had the covers but we never managed to get a copy of the actual content whose artwork it was made for. Now the maker kindly sent us a rip from his originals. We all deeply appreciated that.
It is not yet another compilation of other versions, as it was the case with most of the (allegedly) oriental releases to date, or at least it is yet another clever compilation from the sources we all know. It looks like it was produced with a studio feel in mind and the edits done to the tracks are pretty good. We really have to compliment the maker of this.
The music is like a continuous mix of Vangelis cues composed for the film with the insertion of some audio parts taken from the Blade Runner movie.
Eventually we found the maker and kindly asked if he could share his work with us. All of a sudden all the evidences about this Film Score Online were to be found where they have always been.

Muchas gracias to Pepe, the nice peer of good will that originally delivered that to us from the SoulSeek shares! Un merci sp???cial ??? JacKc for the 2011 alternate covers and again thanks to Swawn for letting us share this work on the Blade Runner expanded score. Have a better one!
Needless to remind to decompress to WAV first (preferred). Cue sheet with CD-Text info is included (suggested). Burn at 4x speed (always) with no pause between tracks otherwise.
Be responsible in giving back what you had for free. Consider sharing back what was shared of old if you care. We are only left with what we share eventually. The more accurately (read properly) the better for the peers-to-be.

Thanks a whole lot, mate!!! 🙂
all this are real bootlegs which are pressed (not burned) and sold on the black marked or just made by guys as an "internet release" like for example the last post "Blade Runner – FSO Edition (??? 2003 Film Score Online)"?

Some of them are pressed CDs, but most aren’t.
You can find a lot of information here:
www.vangelis-rarities.com – (http://www.anunna.net/vangelis-rarities/newsite.php?methode=methode3&valeur=blade)
The Off-World and Gongo (a bootleg of the Off-World) were also pressed cd’s.
I am not sure about referring about what was not pressed on cd as "internet releases". Private releases perhaps?
The quality of these private releases is far superior to every other pressed bootleg to date matter of fact.
The 2001 Private release was way better of the Off-World given the same sources for example. The maker had clearly a better tape to denoise. The Esper Edition makers have the merit of sequencing in the proper order the M???moires releases. After that there were lots more of those enthusiastic individuals who shared their concept on the perfect Blade Runner soundtrack edition given the fact the the official cd’s are not as complete as they should, and most of them you might still find posted here perhaps.
The private releases are better in term of content and quality compared to every pressed bootleg anyway. 🙂
Have a look around. You came in the right place afterall! 😉

Comments :
Once upon a time there was a nice, young peer who’s name was Zelmo (at least how we knew him) who happened to compile yet another original tracklist, and not a bad one if you will allow us. The additions were pushed into the original compilation at a later date, and not by our good peer.
He decided to leave out additions as Blush Response and Wait For Me as initially suggested because they weren’t in the film, and they had a different feel than the rest of the score. Those were more the composer’s songs than the movie soundtrack material (beats, etc.)
Pieces like Longing and Desolation Path had no beats and sounded as if they could have provided mood for scenes.
And he was right. But perhaps what has followed was not that wrong.
End users will decide on the matter anyway. Just please click on the .m3u file according to your tastes.
Why the extended cut addition was conceived the most purist might wonder then?
Basically if the purists will listen carefully to the preceeding track and the following of the not-so-movie-related additions they might spot something as it will show more prominently in the original compiling.
Those disturbing elements (that’s how they might call them) were added to dilute that feeling of repetition… the rest followed since it was the base for the further development of integrating the not-in-the-movie cues into the soundtrack as it was meant to be suggested initially.
The only regret was that not all the bits wanted to be added could be added because of the time limitation for a sigle disc.
Perhaps it’s time to move on… and this was conjured to test if anything might sit along the classic.
A sequel is on the way we are told… so expect the worst if you aren’t prepared for a change…
What has followed is what was furthered into yet-another-original-tracklist we always liked to call the Ultimate MR3 Edition.
The scraps were the basis for the additions of something tastefully self proclaimed the "29th annivesary Edition". Blooming hackers working overtime! Somehow this is meant as an official thank you to our bright, young peer for the inspiration. We hope he might like that also in the form he has not intended his direction. And there you have his Definitive Compilation right along an Extended Cut of its Definitive Edition if you please.
There was a flow to assemble the tracklist (on our side we mean) and partly sacrificed for the sake of fitting this flow in two single discs to listen to the same old motif in a less formal scheme… but some end users might listen to different things and still finding a clue to what it is being listened to sometimes. And that is for them in a way.
That is the direction we do not expect most of the end users will be following as the initial intended flow, but if one tries to picture down what has been happening in between what it was already seen on screen thousand of times here you have it.
A Rep-Detect (Deckard is the name) meets an unaware replicant called Rachel and his maker Dr Eldon Tyrell to take the Voight Kampff test to her (Blush Response).
It will take more than hundred questions to determinate if she is really a replicant or not (Rachel’s Song).
Deckard is looking at the photos he has found at the Yukon Hotel searching for clues, but he is still thinking to the replicant he has met at the Tyrell Corporation.
Somehow there is something in her. She is different from the other replicants he has retired (Piano In An Empty Room).
Deckard has retired a female replicant called Zhora. Leon, a very sentimental replicant, has been watching the scene helpless. He follows Deckard but the police has catch-up with him to compliment on the job he has just done. He buys a bottle of cheap whisky to chill out the shakes he has started getting every time he get to retire a replicant. He is falling high on the curve but he still needs the money of the bounty. He sees Rachel among the crowd. She had somehow decided to meet him down in the fourth sector eventually. She has seen the police spinners and tried to figure out what has been happening and she runs afraid he will have to perform his retirement routine with her as well. He runs after her but the replicant Leon chases him to a corner and he confronts the rep-detect. He is nearly successful in giving him the same treatment he has given to Zhora, but Rachel has managed to pick up Deckard’s gun during the fight with Leon and directs it towards the replicant Leon saving Deckard from a sure death. He is far to being in one piece and hand the matter to the police officers to report to captain Bryant at the police station. He heads home with the female replicant who has just saved him and another old song is playing out of the jazzy clubs in chinatown (If I Didn’t Care).
He has seen again Rachel and on the way to his flat he tries to understand why he is attracted by a replicant (Spotkanie Z Matka). Is he a replicant himself?
Rachel is asking questions he would have never thought to answer to. Would he come after her? she asks. No, he wouldn’t. He owes her one (Wait For Me). Things are spinning too fast. Deckard gets a shot of whisky he has bought at the market to relax a bit.
He needs to unplug from what’s happening. He needs a rest. Big city as Los Angeles are the kind of place in which one can be alone and yet together withthousands faces, (One Alone).
That’s the reasoning behind it. Fitting it on the base of the space on the actual media was a different matter that was fully developed in the so called "29th Anniversary Edition" anyway. Now the end users got the Mona Lisa in a manner of speaking (far from being so and not to be taken literally obviously) and they also know the reason why she’s smiling… You’ll be the final judges.
To top the content of this aural picture the official frames were mostly conceived by a graphical little rascal we would like to thank for his hard work and tireless dedication, and also for the pretty good deal of patience and marked perseverance. We always called him JacKc as a matter of fact. We trust he will be remembered not only for the perfect replicas he has conjured for the Mona Lisa’s. The title for the whole picture was kindly donated by a good peer who named himself Xchullit and who also contributed to the artwork for the original compiling of the project. As a matter of fact the name for this release was changed to reflect what he had inadvertitely achieved with the enthusiasm for the novelty. It was tried to respect, for the most part, the original idea for it as intended by the nice, young peer. Also warm regards to all peers of good will who’s advice was the most relevant and helpful in achieving what you are now also previewing.
They know who they are. Have a better one!
Needless to remind to decompress to WAV first (preferred). Cue sheet with CD-Text info is included (suggested). Burn at 4x speed (always) with no pause between tracks otherwise.
Be responsible in giving back what you had for free. Consider sharing back what was shared of old if you care. We are only left with what we share eventually. The more accurately (read properly) the better for the peers-to-be.

Thank you very much!
Technically there is no swooshing on that. If you are referring to the version included on the "Chinatown Club" compilation there are foley and fx as in the movie (more or less)… the version on the "Outtakes" is clean anyway.
Say, are you sure about the swooshing wind sound or was it another track?
Chinatown Club – Definitive Edition – The Extended Cut 2011
Many thanks for this lossless share, DC! …And to everybody who participated in creating it!
Thanks for catching that!
The whole idea of exploiting the frenzy of people to acquire an item is not something I condone, will ever condone, or ever want…
If we had not shared it then it would have never reached the people we wished to share our labour of love with.
The seller is also listing an expanded version of the 2019 edition, a remixes compilation and the Pendor edition of the Westwood game soundtrack.
What shall we do? Would have changed anything if he had burned the mp3’s on cd’s and sold that?
If we stop sharing our knowledge is not passing anywhere and will force even more people to spend money on something they cannot find anywhere else like it has happened with the Esper releases in the past.
I trust that the majority of the members here do share the feelings about what should not be done in the first place… but it seems it cannot be avoided.
Please consider making a complaint to eBay to stop the auction… and beware of the ebay sellers who are offering home-made copies of these discs intended as a work from fans to fans and not to cash in easy money on things that are not their own.
On behalf of the EMS Team, DC

Well said DC, we didn’t bust our balls so some scumbag could profit from this. I’ve posted a warning as well on the other soundtrack thread. I would encourage all FFShrine users to report this "person" straight away.
In a way, we were to expect such mercenary interest from these type of gentlemen too…
These people are shameless thieves who steal honest people’s efforts to cash in easy money. Just because they got something doesn’t mean they should be allowed to sell it.
The whole auction thing should have been re-thought long ago when it comes to this… greedy bastards…
The die has been cast… What could have we done differently?
DC/B5 you guys are right. And if the fear of this happening had stopped you, the BR Soundtrack online community would be a poorer place for it. Personally, I am glad for your attitude, or I would have never heard EMS!

Fortunately Auction 280866233844 is no longer available and has been removed from ebay !!! auction 280867394186 is still available…
Concerning auction 320892418379, this scumbag used my EMS recombination 3 Discs Definitive Edition MP3 artworks so we could guess he has used lossy source to burn these CD…I am even more angry as, due to lack of money, i can’t print my own artworks and/or burn CD’s to make a private copy for myself.
sadly we can’t avoid things like this to happen and only can report them !!!
I’ve reported him – hope everyone else does too.

Damn, current bid at $77? **shakes head**
Anyways, jerk is reported
BTW, props to the EMS team for putting together a collection that provides such an amazing listening experience to Blade Runner fans worldwide!

It seems eBay needs dumb bidders when people are repeatedly reporting the item but they keep cashing the due fee…

They are not taking any action matter of fact.

A one-plus-three-easy-steps guide for the perfect bladerunner-soundtrack collector swindle:
Preliminary Step: Leech some-other-honest-peer-work.
Step A: 10, 50, 100 pieces of your preferred brand 52X CD-R White Inkjet Printable.
Step B: Genuine Printer Ink Cartridges for your preferred brand of Printer.
Step C: Standard DVD Storage Cases, Quad-Triple-Double-Single-Slim Jewel Cases CD/DVD to hold Front & Back Graphic Inserts.
Last-but-not-least: Honour your fee to the ones you should thank for letting you perform the tried-and-tested method on your preferred target market.
You just need to read the seller’s feedback to learn what he’s been up to in the past months, including what they have been buying… incidentally these sellers seem bootlegging and re-selling each other’s listings… what a bunch of…
Avoid ebay merchants such as "le_petit_ben", "filmyousic", "tyrellrecords", "disneybrideandgroom" (but the list goes on…) if you care.
Do not support the ebay-ready counterfeits of your preferred soundtrack.
Anyone heard track 25? It has something very familiar though I cannot tell what! 😉

And by the way, as soon as I can get this one – http://www.discogs.com/Vangelis-Blade-Runner-TSO/release/216737 and rip it properly – it’ll be released here too.
Best regards, Z__F and CMD cru.
Great work and some incredible time invested in presenting these albums here for everyone to enjoy.
I was sad to see that many of the albums are no longer available due to both Megaupload being shut down and also the br2019.com site being closed 🙁
Is there any chance of re-uploading some of the great albums no longer available here that have been shared on Megaupload to mediafire instead? Hopefully they have been preserved by other members….
Great work!
Thankyou!
EMS version can still be found at AVAX site…..
it is AMAZING….can’t tell you how many laps it has done in my CD player 🙂
Was hoping someone here could sharea few of the missing older versions such as the SILVER, VOIGHT KAMPF, RADIO 1 HANNOVER, etc…… Have a few in mp3 format, but flac is far superior.
CHEERS!
I believe they are simply retooled covers, which look nice I might add. Kudos to xchullit for them. Although I wish there were hi-res versions of them.
Yes indeed. Alternate custom covers created by Xchullit. No better resolution was made available I’m afraid.

They might be re-uploaded at some point, but some of these links reside with the original upladers I’m afraid.
Exactly what might we help you with?

I believe the Blade Runner – Voight Kampf you are referring to was never shared as lossless. At least not that I know of. I trust you already went through the other thread though….
Both the Grey Fedora Blade Runner – All Those Moments – Music From The World Of Blade Runner and the Blade Runner – Silver Edition might be re-uploaded if that is your wish.
The Blade Runner – Radio 1 Hannover, Germany was compiled from mp3’s of the Off World Edition so you might want to look for that instead.

Hi!
Thanks for the reply….
Yeah, I have gone through all of the threads I can find for Blade Runner and haven’t seen any other lossless albums posted.
The Grey Fedora and Blade Runner Silver edition would be fantastic if you are able to repost those?
It’s a wonder I haven’t burned a hole in the EMS discs yet with the number of times they have been on repeat play!!! 🙂
Thanks in advance….

Blade Runner (Soundtrack) – Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blade_Runner_(soundtrack))
… again, the rest is something that this (Polydor Mockup Edition) and other releases are still trying to fix down with mixed results until the composer itself will decide to do so.
This ???what if??? edition, however, appears to be as clever and sound wise as an official one. Some people with hats who wish to remain anonymous and are responsible for the ???Silver & Moments??? web release of the score, (which the music on this edition was taken from with some omissions) delivered this witty vision of what might have been back in 1982, (2010 actually), putting into shape what Polydor/PolyGram Records might have taken care of if Vangelis would have agreed to the possibility of having the music he wrote for the movie on vynil at the time.
At some point the label seemed eager to do that, but the score would not appear until 1994, when East West/Atlantic was licensed to publish only a ???trimmed down version??? of the soundtrack at last.
The sound quality of this release, given the sources, is pretty outstanding for a start.
Grey Fedora has managed to hit the nail in the proper way.
These guys have a fine taste to do things as they should be done and are kind enough to share their team efforts.

Also I’d like to note that I haven’t actually seen the movie yet, currently waiting for the 30th anniversary Blu-ray release which comes later this year so yeah :p
You should start reading from Thread 72496
The best bootleg is really a matter of tastes but the question was already answered three or five times already anyway, you’ll find the answers you need over there. 🙂
…currently waiting for the 30th anniversary Blu-ray release which comes later this year…
Not sure if you would like to invest your money on a different packaging of something you might have already bought. Let’s hope they will correct the flaws of the the previous version at least. Everything seems to be top secret about that…

It would nice if it had a isolated score track.
Unfortunately it is not listed on the description of the content… even if I would really like something like the "Chariots of Fire" re-issue which will include the isolated score track… it is unlikely that they might get permission from Vangelis to do such thing… for the same copyright reasons the Blade Runner score was never released most likely… but I’ll keep my finger crossed in case "something" might happen and an agreement is reached on such regard! 🙂
PS: If it is going to be something like "Prometheus" I’d rather not really…
the first "end" of the movie was too"friendly" in my opinion…
And if you have read the original novel .. well Scott didn’t follow it "by the book" ….
Let’s hope that the new sequel will be as good as the first one…
Did you read already , "Blade Runner 2", from K. W. JETER ?
not bad at all.. so I say go for a sequel.
Never mind, I want it. And definitely in the way of "Prometheus" – nothing straight, but preserves the spirit of original ‘world’
not bad at all.. so I say go for a sequel.
Read them all! Too many Blade Runner references in my opinion but the books are good and quite usable as base for a script, but as far as I know they are not considering that… even if they should perhaps.
But perhaps they are hoping to come out with something totally different…
If someone, or even its creator, wants to use "Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?" as a base for a movie or for any other form of art, please do. Just don’t label it as "Blade Runner II".
"Prometheus" was supposed to be a prequel of "Alien"… even if they decided not to use that "Alien" label! 🙂
Never mind, I want it. And definitely in the way of "Prometheus" – nothing straight, but preserves the spirit of original ‘world’
Too many years has passed… Sir Ridley has changed. The new screenplayers seems more focused with special fx than storytelling… the digital cameras will inevitably give everything a different shade…
I do hope to be able to watch the sequel as many times as I’ve been watching the original.
In order to create you need to destroy first
… and I wish them all the best to get what they are wanting to achieve. Prometheus is missing a lot of extra scenes on the theatrical release… it just hangs there where something would have been needed to be there to explain things better… I liked the movie but I was expecting something as deep as the first Alien film in a way…
Another thank you to throw on the heap! 🙂
Samples are up on that page. However, if you listen closely to the sample for track 12 on Disc 1, it seems that Vangelis pointlessly merged the ending with dialogue from the film >.< WHY???
Typical Vangelis…
At least one can now fiddle with the full spectrum of the Prologue at the correct pitch (which should be the same one of the BluRay I’m hoping)… It would sound odd to pick up the Vangelis masters only to add 2 minutes to a track.
I DO HOPE THEY DID INCLUDE THE FULL TRACKS… AND NOT THE SEQUENCED VERSIONS WITH THE TAILS FADING INTO THE BEGINNING OF THE NEXT TRACK…
PLEASE FATHER XMAS… I PROMISE TO BEHAVE GOOD FOR AT LEAST 4 WEEKS IN A ROW…
Wasn’t that supposed to be a tatoo? Not that easy to wash off… 🙂
<a target=’_blank’ href=’http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/33/esperzhorasequence30003.jpg/‘><img src=’‘ border=’0’/></a>
I wonder if they’ll fix that glitch too at this point…
Yes of course. That’s what I meant. She goes to the shower and washes off all that stuff (including body paint?) and voila: there it is.
The tatoo/body painting mysteriously appears after she had a shower… it is not there at all during the show and before the shower… it looks like they filmed the club scenes after the shower scene… or that they just forgot about the tatoo/body painting when they filmed the other scene… it does not matter much anyway! 🙂
<a target=’_blank’ title’ href=’http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/266/bodypainting7a28482259.jpg/‘><img src=’‘ border=’0’/></a>
It could be that in 2019 tatoos will change and appear depending from our mood via an electronic device… who knows!
I’ll repeat: To me it looks like she washes off some artificial tan or grounding for the little applications – which of course was covering her tattoo. 🙂
Edit:
Download link, no password.
Ripped using Foobar2000 v1.1.8, FLAC compression set at level 5 including original tracklisting of compilation.
I honestly was to lazy to relist the tracks so you can do with it whatever you want, enjoy!

Are they thick or what?
Did they f dots get crazy or what?
They bloomin’ normalized all the Blade Runner 1994 tracks… same mistakes… same bloomin’ dc offset issues… same everything… including the bloomin’ rain at the end of End Titles…
Are we sure it is the real deal? I did way better using a simple denoiser on the tail of End Titles to get rid of the rain when I needed a clearer edit… and I am not a professional.
I just cannot believe that such a big record label can get this low… I am just disappointed about the technical details of this release…
Definitely worth for the Vangelis music but the same cannot be told for the Blade Runner side of it I’m afraid…
They could have done wonders but they just failed to achieve anything better than average for a tried and tested Best Of …
Everything is f dots sequenced in the way that mostly gets me on the nerves and not mastered from the masters… just lifted from the same source of the Trilogy cd’s…
When someone first told me about a 30th Anniversary edition I went nuts and I would have never expected yet another remastering of the movie.
I obviously expected something closer to an extention of the 25th Anniversary on cd…
No way… and still no way for a decent release of the soundtrack as it should be done. 🙁
I’ll pass on this really… even if the Main Titles edit is pretty wicked though… and I’m glad I am given some promotional copies of it…
Thanks for the preview anyway! 😉
been trying to send you a PM, but looks like my account doesn’t have the permissions to do so.
Maybe if you PM me I can then reply back?
I have something you may be interested in… 😉

Comments :
This is the story of one half and another half and their undisputed passion for a much bootlegged soundtrack and how they came to speak to each other without ever using once their outdated mobile phones. Video phones are still too far from domestic usage though it will be the default in a not so distant future, but let’s the story begin.
There were once two most peculiar peers, one half and another half. One being as accurate as he could almost get, we will call him DC, and the other half even more perfectionist as the other would not have never thought of being and his name was Pendor. One of them used to use the latest generation of mobile phones on the market, the other is the last one to use that technology in mobile phones… and both are very… but very deaf indeed.
DC usually utilizes the latest in software & hardware technology, however Pendor is the last human being using prehistoric software & hardware, and some even claim to have seen him using a legendary Commodore 64 (but probably it is only a legend).
Another legend says that DC is more good and kind than Lassie, and Pendor also resembles to the famous TV dog (but when the dog had contracted rabies).
Also the mental health of both has been put in serious doubt (but that was many years before this project).
It is the first time that it has been used electronics specially designed for the restoration and remastering of the "Soundtrack Outtakes" precisely the "Pendor Processor BR-101", built with some very old components or as old as the age of their own preferred film (Blade Runner n.d.r.).
They both grew up with compact cassettes but later converted to the new religion of the colder digital format being disillusioned with the limitations of tape cassettes when the improvements in fidelity were clearly audible and the tradeoff much more bearable.
Two half hackers unsusceptible to repentance, not even attempting to make a charade out of a full grown one for the sake of what they seem to like best: reverse-sound-engineering their preferred soundtrack. We hope that that won’t bother you much and if it slightly pleases you they will surely appreciate.
Pendor is a most peculiar and determined peer. They say he uses the mobile as a phone only. No games to pass the time, big keys to better type SMS messages, no internet connection to receive notifications from social networks where he is pretty invisible as far as they might be concerned, neither watching movies on tiny screens or listening to music with cheap earphones. He tends to use one of that old fashioned compact disc Walkman’s quite popular in the previous century of which he is still quite fond of.
He does not like at all listening to the latest compressed and portable music formats (as it seems to be latest trend) and the word referring to it does not even exist in his vocabulary.
We do not need to know much of his whereabouts. Only thing you want to know is that he decided and settled that english language was something for rich tourists going abroad when it comes to ask directions or asking out ladies that will always say yes to everybody with green paper slips in big leather wallets.
They say he still owns a mobile from 2002 and still proud to use it. It does what it is supposed to do as far he is concerned.
DC is a most peculiar peer too, at times he has some bright idea but not so fortunate perhaps. When his old mobile phone broke (and was asked double the price for a new one just for a glimpse by the qualified and expert personnel), he immediately fancied a replacement in black and white as he always had possibly. Not much need for color graphics to dial a combination of numbers as a matter of fact.
The shop assistant only smiled quite amused at such request since she was little when she first heard the beeping of mobile phones of her mother.
Ten years ago mobile phones were completely a different world.
Black and white displays were on their way to become obsolete by then and color displays are the default standard on every phone in these days.
To cut the story short he now owns a newer generation mobile phone even if he only texts messages and calls back the numbers on his address book when he is not fiddling and messing with his computers if their planned obsolescence is not striking as thunderbolts from above and beyond on whatever he is doing, and not distracted from a tiny grab-attentions-brat who keeps stealing all his toys and asking questions on most things she cannot quite grasp the meaning yet.
He also tried to exchange his telephone number with the helpful shop assistant having overcome some difficulties of the first approach at that point, but even if she was engaged and assured her he was not a jealous guy, she never called back and he’s still looking for his other half ever since, but that is another story. Would that have been the lucky chance to actually settle up we might have not heard of him at all in this story. But that’s the problem with most peers: they want what they can’t have and don’t want what they can have.
Back to our story, we might definitely state they live on quite the opposite sides of the oceans but they learnt to communicate via online translators in that very same language used by rich tourists when going abroad.
They had the same peculiarities about mobile phones and quite a few interests to share when it was mutually settled to help each other in leaving something to the growing and ageing peers alike. Not because they wanted some not-so-honest people and their grey bussiness to flourish (eBuy), but to leave something they believe it would have been only fair for other peers to have.
What they were given they gave back, sometimes fixing it and sometimes not.
What was not given they could not possibly fix nor give back. If you help other people achieve their goals, they’ll help you achieve yours. And so it happened.
The motto of ‘The 29th Anniversary Team’ has been "Let everyone have access to all, rather than a few have access to a lot" which means they support enlightment rather than elite-nment, but you all know that.
DC is a most industrious-but-not-so-organized hacker working overnight. He always dreamt of starting a 29th Anniversary edition since day two when he had found out like-minded individuals sharing his same interests on some obscure and most infamous digital “plazas” a year earlier. Being a most ruthless but honest hacker he pretty stole few patents about what it might have been the proper thing to do, Donnor & 1187 Hunterwasser came definitely first; Anita & Anson were the next on the list to be notified, and a very talentuous hacker named Zyzz (with whom he keeps exchanging plans and opinions) being the last but not least on a list that started from some mysterious guys better known as the FIC Trust., Esper Team(s) Inc., Bradbury Producers, detectives in Grey Fedora hats, 2019 Makers Ltd., Off World Editors and EMS archaeologists (where he pretty made his bones).
He got permissions when asked very politely, and trying a different approach, (and also copying the different approaches on the same subject), reverse-sound-engineering after reverse-sound-engineering and several missed night sleeps he eventually (even if not finally) come out with something.
This half was not having sufficient night sleeps at the time (which should have been mandatory) and took the bad habit of fixing (making more appropriate if you like) most of the more obscure versions he was having… and since he owned nearly close to nothing (compared to what he has piled to date) the "LMS", "Ultimate" and "Tapes Collection" were conceived to fix what he was having at the time.
The trouble, as you might see, came when he started having more versions of the soundtrack and eventually proper night sleeps… By this time it emerged he was not the only one "left" in those obscure and most infamous whereabouts (FFShrine and Yahoo)… damn hackers working overtime… and lot more contrived to make the matter diverse and more complicated…
At some point he finally balanced his fragmented collection of minutes to finish this thing off and what was supposed to be only a joke of something known as 20th Anniversary turned into something different.
When asked his answer was always: “very soon”, more in the fashion of politicians when asked to do anything, but definitely more determined to honor his words compared to the formers. Would he not have kept his promises he might have become a politician with plenty of those green paper slips.
The final drafts of the masters were at some re-shipped to a different host because of the annoying Stop Online Piracy Act acts… Further changes were discussed; better sources were in some cases considered… and what was originally intended as a "parody" (for the better and no more than that really) of the original 20th Anniversary edition was finished in December 2011, and used only as a workprint for the changes needed to make it better.
Plenty of changes actually. Spare time seemed to be quite on a wish list back then, (it still is), but as it is his intention, he will see into posting that rough version during his lifetime if possible.
The 20th Anniversary was a mixture of the Off World edition and the official 1994 edition of the soundtrack without taking into account the huge difference in quality between them. On The 29th Anniversary something was done to even out the differences but they would not count on near-perfect-quality for the 29th Anniversary.
That is something residing somewhere in someone’s other drawers (and at the correct pitch too), so quality was not much an issue in its initial stage.
At least same quality of the official 25th Anniversary sources and almost-perfect-but-not-quite quality for the rest of the unreleased cues on the Off World edition and front and rear audio channels leaked from the speeded up (compared to the original NTSC) PAL movie digital versatile discs.
And that was when the other half slipped into our story.
Pendor is a most industrious and dangerous hacker too. Stubborn to the point of being right even if the other is not wrong. What one half has started this other half has seen for the better, most he has started the one half has made him changing, what the one half has changed the other half has re-made.
The other half did a terrific job in giving all the cues a more polished touch… he always had a more objective approach as a whole, while the first half got lost in the making we have to admit.
What they have re-made they have changed over time.
What it was decided in time it was inevitably changed again at the last moment.
Not an easy thing to settle up on something when both are wanting to achieve what they think it might be best thing to do but you might want to check that part of the story for yourself hopefully.
To cut the story short after months of turning round the same tails to make it as perfect as they could get they eventually settled up on something in between, the best of both worlds we might say, and what they have started it was finally finished.
He wished to add better edits of the less good sources where the EMS Team had stopped digging and things were turned into something different. Like it has happened when compiling the infamous EMS, time helped smoothing out lot of discrepancies between the sources and adding extra details by the day.
Attention to problems went to matter more than solutions to those problems.
What they ended up doing together was making what it was intended as a quick and dirty here-you-have-it-all-Blade-Runner-soundtrack-related in a single package into something better.
In a way the 29th Anniversary is the closest attempt to a die-hard collector’s dream come true with all the wealth of informations most-if-not-all-blade-runner-related and the more-purist collectors will inevitably find that redundant. If both will be quite pleased (as they are hoping) they achieved their goal.
Even if it should have been released in 2011, with its official release stretching to 2012 it might have easily changed name to 30th Anniversary, but since they did most of the work in 2011 they are getting along with the original 29th Anniversary name.
After inevitably adding new edits and ideas when one half was working on the cues for The Tapes Collection, LMS, Ultimate MR2, Chinatown and EMS, time after time it grew bigger. The 29th Anniversary was actually being half of the project while the rest was the more cinematic approach of the EMS Japanese disc experiments. It was almost radically re-worked to the point that it really turned into a 30th Anniversary edition at some point, (being only for the sake of not changing also the artworks again… and the a-bit-too-obvious-hence-dangerous similarities with the new re-edition of their much loved movie…)
By sheer chance sequences of the workprint version of movie materialized… and they had to sort that out as well. Other changes were made to the trailers and the logo music… lots of changes… the proper credits were compiled, corrected and then re-compiled… it was just details and checking if they could get any better than they did after that. The important bits are eventually finished it seems… the rest will have to wait until the 30th Anniversary, (unless the composer himself will opt for a more official 30th Anniversary of which most likely us common peers might not surely or immediately grasp the inner sequenced-and-edited meaning…)
So not to generate confusion both halves agreed to post the final output first and the files originally intended for it at a later date. You won’t notice much of a difference anyway… except that the original concept consisted of nine discs perhaps…
You’re not that blade-runner-soundtrack-crazy are you?
Not to the point of bidding half their likely wage on a counterfeit copy on an auction we’re hoping (eBuyers). Are you?
This is where they have got so far anyway. The rest of the story is what you will be listening to if that pleases you.
DC was lastly seen in a quiet dutch coffee shop enjoying the surroundings thanks to a forged ID card… Pendor was recognized on a not so crowded beach at a world’s end with a nice view on the south pole.
They swear not to want to hear of each other after what they have been through after all these months but they are probably still bitching about most things and happy to uncover what all have been waiting for.
The last thing you want to know is that they lived happily and ate partridges!
The 29th Anniversary Team

"The Blade Runner 20th Anniversary Edition, out in 2002 and most likely not by the same person responsible for the original Blade Runner Off World Edition as stated on the cd, was a mixture of the Off World Edition bootleg and the official 1994 edition of the soundtrack without taking into account the huge difference in quality between the sources. On The 29th Anniversary all that could be done was done to even out the differences even if the makers would not count on "near perfect" quality for this 29th Anniversary version.
At least same quality of the official 25th Anniversary sources and "almost perfect but not quite" quality for the rest of the unreleased cues on the Off World edition, Soundtrack Outtakes and front and rear audio channels leaked from the speeded up (compared to the original NTSC) PAL movie DVDs in some cases.

Excellent!
Part 2 is pretty nice too. I remember it took ages to get the cd from Tel Aviv at the time. I would have liked an EP out of those Maxi’s but it never seemed the case with that release.
A part of it (mostly edited) was also used for the more recent download-only release "Hommage A Blade Runner" which includes also the previously unreleased "Hide & Seek" and "Megapolis" if you like the ambient side of the originals.

Thanks.

Just curious to hear it.
The 29th Ani. became too much over kill for me with its inclusion of every bit of unconnected Flotsam and Jetsam. A coherent flowing soundtrack is very nice. 😉

If any of you have been members of BladeZone long enough, you might even remember me; I was the guy telling a member that I was revolted by the idea of his writing an "Esper Manual" for profit. It was a friggin’ prop in a friggin’ movie, guys! Ideas like that are beyond ridicule and contempt; it’s like Klingon Dictionary writers (though I’m not a Trekkie) – I regard them as parasites on the order of remoras or worse. Love the movie, love the music, be passionate about them to a near-OCD degree, that’s all good and fine, but show some damn respect for them! I had to leave BladeZone and never return because it was bad for my mental hygiene seeing these schmucks trying to write themselves into the BR story.
On the other hand, creating beautifully remastered complete soundtracks is providing a genuine service to fans, and I am speechlessly grateful to people like the EMS Team. Thanks to all who have brought us this fantastic music with no expectation of recompense.
Somehow I’m hoping to reserve my opinion about a sequel once it’s done… though I do second your thoughts so far. I did not mind Prometheus… but after knowing what he has done I felt quite cheated… but it was me expecting another masterpiece… and I was wrong. People change, so he has…

Oh, and don’t forget to check the 29th Anniversary while you are here! 😉
PS: I got the new Blade Runner movie remastering lately… expect something more updated sometimes in the new year! 🙂
The new 30th anniversary 3 disc bluray package? Nice that one 🙂 got it a week ago and it was worth every penny.
The booklet looks quite wicked! 🙂

Try any of the following links (original + mirror, repost):
I was able to start the download, so you might be as lucky as I was. Also try opening a free account with the file hoster. I understand that the file hoster has limited the access to unlimited downloads of split archives and a set limit has been reached. If the limit for this file has been reached try another day. Unfortunately on FFS side it has touched nearly 1300 while double that figure might have been reached on the repost on AvaxHome. It is still currently seeded on eMule also. Though a bit slow the file is still there if needed.

We did our best to deliver it… but we cannot always be around to keep it.
We are missing the subject of the question somehow… Whatever that might be, most likely you are trying to extract the files from a multi-volume archive but not starting from the one you should click first… just click on the one going: .part1.rar and the rest will follow. If anything else… drop a message. 🙂
Happy New Year everybody by the way! Have a sober one! 😉
I found it. So sorry..

The needle used might not have been top class and there are some occasional clicks and pops, but we get the picture of the content of this version on vinyl.
Thanks a lot to the ripper/uploader goes without saying! 😉
The vinyl has more definition on the bell sounds and a deeper punch on the low frequency content… the dynamic looks untouched compared to the 1994 mastering session though a bit lower compared to the official cd edition… but I’d rather turning the volume knob up rather than having the sound squashed compared to other recent Vangelis remasterings.
It has retained the classical type of feel of the original mastering… and that’s jusy perfect in my opinion!
The only drawback I could experience is on End Titles which I prefer as smokey as the version on the 1994 cd. On the vinyl it sounds brighter… but that may be a matter of personal tastes.
I remember having quite a hard time when with Pendor we got stucked on all the tries for that particular track when assembling the 29th Anniversary.
It shouldn’t have been that easy mixing in all the different layers on that… The version on Odyssey was a nice try but I still liked the original 1994 mix more…
I won’t swap my cd for the vinyl though I do appreciate the effort… and I’ll keep both! 😉
Thanks for the 24bit 96khz preview… though you all might want to invest in the real deal (http://www.audiofidelity.net/content/vangelis-blade-runner) if you’re having a decent hi-fi. 🙂
By the way: do you happen to have a better resolution of the flyer you have posted?
Sadly the vinyl isn’t perfect. 😉 I had to be very careful of the recording level due to the big drum hits of the Main titles, and the general loudness of Blade Runner (End Titles).
I put this out since I know some people may not have the opportunity to listen to it given the format.
I found the flyer online, there is a slightly bigger version floating around.
The only problem with record players is the bloody maintenance. It might take months before getting to play a record again… and you discover that the belt grew larger and the damn technician will ask you three days’ work to set the thing up all over again… unless you’re having a 1200’s.
It might take some time before finding my copy in the post… so the thanks are even bigger for having had the opportunity to listen to it! 😉
So I might not even feel the need to play my copy and could sell it at ten times the price I am paying it now! Wou! I did not think about that turn!
It might be an investment! 🙂
Having said that I just don’t like this whole collectors turn of this release. It is already sold out and a second pressing is already being pressed. Obviously the first press will go up to heaven as far market prices are concerned.
Now, let’s see to dig out the vinyl player and try out the new soundcard… box A or B or C or D or E… not it was box Z… or X or H… maybe it was locked in the box with the top-shelf magazines when I moved with my girlfriend… Damn it. I can’t open that… 🙁

Comments :
This is the story of one half and another half and their undisputed passion for a much bootlegged soundtrack and how they came to speak to each other without ever using once their outdated mobile phones. Video phones are still too far from domestic usage though it will be the default in a not so distant future, but let???s the story begin.
There were once two most peculiar peers, one half and another half. One being as accurate as he could almost get, we will call him DC, and the other half even more perfectionist as the other would not have never thought of being and his name was Pendor. One of them used to use the latest generation of mobile phones on the market, the other is the last one to use that technology in mobile phones??? and both are very??? but very deaf indeed.
DC usually utilizes the latest in software & hardware technology, however Pendor is the last human being using prehistoric software & hardware, and some even claim to have seen him using a legendary Commodore 64 (but probably it is only a legend).
Another legend says that DC is more good and kind than Lassie, and Pendor also resembles to the famous TV dog (but when the dog had contracted rabies).
Also the mental health of both has been put in serious doubt (but that was many years before this project).
It is the first time that it has been used electronics specially designed for the restoration and remastering of the "Soundtrack Outtakes" precisely the "Pendor Processor BR-101", built with some very old components or as old as the age of their own preferred film (Blade Runner n.d.r.).
They both grew up with compact cassettes but later converted to the new religion of the colder digital format being disillusioned with the limitations of tape cassettes when the improvements in fidelity were clearly audible and the tradeoff much more bearable.
Two half hackers unsusceptible to repentance, not even attempting to make a charade out of a full grown one for the sake of what they seem to like best: reverse-sound-engineering their preferred soundtrack. We hope that that won???t bother you much and if it slightly pleases you they will surely appreciate.
Pendor is a most peculiar and determined peer. They say he uses the mobile as a phone only. No games to pass the time, big keys to better type SMS messages, no internet connection to receive notifications from social networks where he is pretty invisible as far as they might be concerned, neither watching movies on tiny screens or listening to music with cheap earphones. He tends to use one of that old fashioned compact disc Walkman???s quite popular in the previous century of which he is still quite fond of.
He does not like at all listening to the latest compressed and portable music formats (as it seems to be latest trend) and the word referring to it does not even exist in his vocabulary.
We do not need to know much of his whereabouts. Only thing you want to know is that he decided and settled that english language was something for rich tourists going abroad when it comes to ask directions or asking out ladies that will always say yes to everybody with green paper slips in big leather wallets.
They say he still owns a mobile from 2002 and still proud to use it. It does what it is supposed to do as far he is concerned.
DC is a most peculiar peer too, at times he has some bright idea but not so fortunate perhaps. When his old mobile phone broke (and was asked double the price for a new one just for a glimpse by the qualified and expert personnel), he immediately fancied a replacement in black and white as he always had possibly. Not much need for color graphics to dial a combination of numbers as a matter of fact.
The shop assistant only smiled quite amused at such request since she was little when she first heard the beeping of mobile phones of her mother.
Ten years ago mobile phones were completely a different world.
Black and white displays were on their way to become obsolete by then and color displays are the default standard on every phone in these days.
To cut the story short he now owns a newer generation mobile phone even if he only texts messages and calls back the numbers on his address book when he is not fiddling and messing with his computers if their planned obsolescence is not striking as thunderbolts from above and beyond on whatever he is doing, and not distracted from a tiny grab-attentions-brat who keeps stealing all his toys and asking questions on most things she cannot quite grasp the meaning yet.
He also tried to exchange his telephone number with the helpful shop assistant having overcome some difficulties of the first approach at that point, but even if she was engaged and assured her he was not a jealous guy, she never called back and he’s still looking for his other half ever since, but that is another story. Would that have been the lucky chance to actually settle up we might have not heard of him at all in this story. But that’s the problem with most peers: they want what they can’t have and don’t want what they can have.
Back to our story, we might definitely state they live on quite the opposite sides of the oceans but they learnt to communicate via online translators in that very same language used by rich tourists when going abroad.
They had the same peculiarities about mobile phones and quite a few interests to share when it was mutually settled to help each other in leaving something to the growing and ageing peers alike. Not because they wanted some not-so-honest people and their grey bussiness to flourish (eBuy), but to leave something they believe it would have been only fair for other peers to have.
What they were given they gave back, sometimes fixing it and sometimes not.
What was not given they could not possibly fix nor give back. If you help other people achieve their goals, they???ll help you achieve yours. And so it happened.
The motto of ‘The 29th Anniversary Team’ has been "Let everyone have access to all, rather than a few have access to a lot" which means they support enlightment rather than elite-nment, but you all know that.
DC is a most industrious-but-not-so-organized hacker working overnight. He always dreamt of starting a 29th Anniversary edition since day two when he had found out like-minded individuals sharing his same interests on some obscure and most infamous digital ???plazas??? a year earlier. Being a most ruthless but honest hacker he pretty stole few patents about what it might have been the proper thing to do, Donnor & 1187 Hunterwasser came definitely first; Anita & Anson were the next on the list to be notified, and a very talentuous hacker named Zyzz (with whom he keeps exchanging plans and opinions) being the last but not least on a list that started from some mysterious guys better known as the FIC Trust., Esper Team(s) Inc., Bradbury Producers, detectives in Grey Fedora hats, 2019 Makers Ltd., Off World Editors and EMS archaeologists (where he pretty made his bones).
He got permissions when asked very politely, and trying a different approach, (and also copying the different approaches on the same subject), reverse-sound-engineering after reverse-sound-engineering and several missed night sleeps he eventually (even if not finally) come out with something.
This half was not having sufficient night sleeps at the time (which should have been mandatory) and took the bad habit of fixing (making more appropriate if you like) most of the more obscure versions he was having… and since he owned nearly close to nothing (compared to what he has piled to date) the "LMS", "Ultimate" and "Tapes Collection" were conceived to fix what he was having at the time.
The trouble, as you might see, came when he started having more versions of the soundtrack and eventually proper night sleeps… By this time it emerged he was not the only one "left" in those obscure and most infamous whereabouts (FFShrine and Yahoo)… damn hackers working overtime… and lot more contrived to make the matter diverse and more complicated…
At some point he finally balanced his fragmented collection of minutes to finish this thing off and what was supposed to be only a joke of something known as 20th Anniversary turned into something different.
When asked his answer was always: ???very soon???, more in the fashion of politicians when asked to do anything, but definitely more determined to honor his words compared to the formers. Would he not have kept his promises he might have become a politician with plenty of those green paper slips.
The final drafts of the masters were at some re-shipped to a different host because of the annoying Stop Online Piracy Act acts… Further changes were discussed; better sources were in some cases considered… and what was originally intended as a "parody" (for the better and no more than that really) of the original 20th Anniversary edition was finished in December 2011, and used only as a workprint for the changes needed to make it better.
Plenty of changes actually. Spare time seemed to be quite on a wish list back then, (it still is), but as it is his intention, he will see into posting that rough version during his lifetime if possible.
The 20th Anniversary was a mixture of the Off World edition and the official 1994 edition of the soundtrack without taking into account the huge difference in quality between them. On The 29th Anniversary something was done to even out the differences but they would not count on near-perfect-quality for the 29th Anniversary.
That is something residing somewhere in someone???s other drawers (and at the correct pitch too), so quality was not much an issue in its initial stage.
At least same quality of the official 25th Anniversary sources and almost-perfect-but-not-quite quality for the rest of the unreleased cues on the Off World edition and front and rear audio channels leaked from the speeded up (compared to the original NTSC) PAL movie digital versatile discs.
And that was when the other half slipped into our story.
Pendor is a most industrious and dangerous hacker too. Stubborn to the point of being right even if the other is not wrong. What one half has started this other half has seen for the better, most he has started the one half has made him changing, what the one half has changed the other half has re-made.
The other half did a terrific job in giving all the cues a more polished touch… he always had a more objective approach as a whole, while the first half got lost in the making we have to admit.
What they have re-made they have changed over time.
What it was decided in time it was inevitably changed again at the last moment.
Not an easy thing to settle up on something when both are wanting to achieve what they think it might be best thing to do but you might want to check that part of the story for yourself hopefully.
To cut the story short after months of turning round the same tails to make it as perfect as they could get they eventually settled up on something in between, the best of both worlds we might say, and what they have started it was finally finished.
He wished to add better edits of the less good sources where the EMS Team had stopped digging and things were turned into something different. Like it has happened when compiling the infamous EMS, time helped smoothing out lot of discrepancies between the sources and adding extra details by the day.
Attention to problems went to matter more than solutions to those problems.
What they ended up doing together was making what it was intended as a quick and dirty here-you-have-it-all-Blade-Runner-soundtrack-related in a single package into something better.
In a way the 29th Anniversary is the closest attempt to a die-hard collector’s dream come true with all the wealth of informations most-if-not-all-blade-runner-related and the more-purist collectors will inevitably find that redundant. If both will be quite pleased (as they are hoping) they achieved their goal.
Even if it should have been released in 2011, with its official release stretching to 2012 it might have easily changed name to 30th Anniversary, but since they did most of the work in 2011 they are getting along with the original 29th Anniversary name.
After inevitably adding new edits and ideas when one half was working on the cues for The Tapes Collection, LMS, Ultimate MR2, Chinatown and EMS, time after time it grew bigger. The 29th Anniversary was actually being half of the project while the rest was the more cinematic approach of the EMS Japanese disc experiments. It was almost radically re-worked to the point that it really turned into a 30th Anniversary edition at some point, (being only for the sake of not changing also the artworks again… and the a-bit-too-obvious-hence-dangerous similarities with the new re-edition of their much loved movie…)
By sheer chance sequences of the workprint version of movie materialized… and they had to sort that out as well. Other changes were made to the trailers and the logo music… lots of changes… the proper credits were compiled, corrected and then re-compiled… it was just details and checking if they could get any better than they did after that. The important bits are eventually finished it seems… the rest will have to wait until the 30th Anniversary, (unless the composer himself will opt for a more official 30th Anniversary of which most likely us common peers might not surely or immediately grasp the inner sequenced-and-edited meaning…)
So not to generate confusion both halves agreed to post the final output first and the files originally intended for it at a later date. You won’t notice much of a difference anyway… except that the original concept consisted of nine discs perhaps…
You’re not that blade-runner-soundtrack-crazy are you?
Not to the point of bidding half their likely wage on a counterfeit copy on an auction we???re hoping (eBuyers). Are you?
This is where they have got so far anyway. The rest of the story is what you will be listening to if that pleases you.
DC was lastly seen in a quiet dutch coffee shop enjoying the surroundings thanks to a forged ID card??? Pendor was recognized on a not so crowded beach at a world???s end with a nice view on the south pole.
They swear not to want to hear of each other after what they have been through after all these months but they are probably still bitching about most things and happy to uncover what all have been waiting for.
The last thing you want to know is that they lived happily and ate partridges!

THE BEST!
THANKS! THANKS! THANKS!
Pendor and DC wholeheartedly thank you. 🙂
Highest rez digital master available = 1994 CD.
Exactly! 😉
Cannot tell if the master had a higher resolution though… but it is a generation less compared to the 1994 Cd… and the DC offset issue is gone too. Most likely filtered though One More Kiss, Dear seems to have also those ‘sliced bits’ missing from the waveform of the 1994 Cd this time.
Vinyl addicts seems to prefer that ‘oversampled’ analog sound though…
If you meant multilanguage when you wrote multi-layered the answer is yes. They got most of the missing songs from there, dvd or blu-ray. The rest comes from a painful restoration off the known boots out there and a really deep research on the very same subject of this thread. 🙂
There used to be a list of the sources used someplace here I think…
The file attributes are a sort of digital signature meant to work on NTFS partitions but not FAT for example.
If you wish to store them as separate files (which I do not particularly recomend) just unpack the files to hd and then rar them again.
In doing so the process will ignore the extended file attributes (by default WinRar will ignore that unless you choose to keep them in the advanced tab) and you might safely store them as you intend. Again, I would save the original archives as you got them, but do as you see fit.
You might want to unpack the content on a FAT partition and then copy that on your NAS storage to save time.
Might I ask what’s a NAS storage?

The unpacked files are already separate FLAC files. I don’t intend to modify them at all. Thanks for the re-archiving tip, I’ll try it.
A NAS (Network Attached Storage) is essentially a small enclosure with multiple hard drives installed. Ideal for keeping large libraries of music. They also use RAID technology (Redundant Array of Independent Drives) which in a nutshell means that if one drive fails, I won’t lose any data. More on RAID here (http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAID).
I’m currently using a Netgear ReadyNAS Ultra 6 which great, no problems. I can even access it remotely from work.
The only thing I made the time for was buying a new one to store all the Blade Runner and Vangelis related files. I’d like to do that for the cd’s I am having as well, (some started havin problematic issues and I cannot possibly buy them all over again—by now most Vangelis and Blade Runner rareties on cdr are unplayable in most cases), but it will take a lifetime to do so and the only way to achieve something off a lifetime work would ideally be one of those NAT networks with a possibility for everyone to access everyone’s effort and not having to start again from scratch every few years with bits of informations lost in the process.
Cloud storage does not work on the long run I’m afraid, not in the way it is being brought forward.
I trust you kids will find a way out of the problem to better handle what’s we’re left. I am too old for that. 🙂
There used to be a list of the sources used someplace here I think…
No I meant "Multi-Layered". By that I meant that the audio in 5.1 has the music in separate channels apart from the dialogue. That way they can be ripped seperately without any interference. And so it seems they did ….
I would still refer to that as multilanguage since the music was edited in differently depending from the language you will be considering. Some of the music has also different layers that make up the whole track. The Workprint for example. Every dub had its own additions.
Some language has more musical details compared to others, english is the less detailed in my opinion. You might want to check the spanish version for example.
Also, the musical details change accordingly to the version of the movie you will be considering. So if you would like a pretty decent insight inside the atonal music on Leon’s Test you might want to skip the Final Cut and head for every other version.
I’m afraid the music is not separate from the dialogue. The effects and spoken parts are all layered together in the 6 channels in most of the cases. You will have to be quite confident with denoisers and the likes to isolate only the music.
The only isolated score to date is the european edition Chariots Of Fire.
It seems the benefits of upsampling old digital sources will remain yet to be heard unless some audiophile addict can successfully hack an untouched PS3 console.
Nevertheless, you will want to check beforehand the only possible outcome of something you have already bought once before.

The Audio Fidelity SACD is Stereo only, but its great!
I might be stupid or something, but isn’t an SACD supposed to have better quality? Like in a higher frequency range or something? Not that i’m complaining but i was expecting more of this since it was an SACD rip, but the spectral analysis in Audition doesn’t show that much difference to the 1994 release. If there are any differences it might be that it’s been remastered and i haven’t had the time to compare the both, but as i said, the SACD rip doesn’t seem to have much more audio info than the original 1994 release.
🙂 i would love to be proven wrong though, if anyone care to explain what it is that i’m missing 🙂

No, you’re not! 🙂 As it was already pointed out a couple of posts above there cannot possibly be that difference. I too compared the waveforms in Soundforge and sonically speaking they looked the same.

SACD – Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SACD)
On the SACD there are two layers. The more common standard cd layer and the SACD layer. What viola_2003 has kindly posted is the only layer accessible with any ripping software on a standard computer. The cd layer.
Typically on a SACD there is more definition (read a larger number of bytes) to describe the sound (up to 4 times compared to red book cd’s), so what you will be hearing it will sound more open and present compared to standard cd quality.
Though the standard cd quality can be theoretically doubled by interpolating/doubling the informations in the waveform (upsampling has its benefit I’m afraid) it cannot reach the quality of a tranfer of a better source with more definition used in the first place.
SACD’s have a wider frequency and dynamic range than conventional CDs.
But not many people will notice the difference unless sitting on their own in a decent room with a proper hi-end/esoteric stereo setup anyway.
If you happen to be married with children that will be even trickier. 🙂
I always create a DSD (Direct Stream Digital) file for SACD (Meitner ADC8 to Tascam DV-RA1000HD) and then it goes to Gus Skinas at The Super Audio Center in Boulder for the editing and final assembly. No audio changes occur. But, he [Gus] creates the CD layer from the DSD file. Sorry, but I don’t know what process that actually involves. So the CD layer is from my master, definitely not the old CD, but that’s all I know.
We A/B’d the source we received to both the US and European CD, and the digital source we got from Warner Bros, and what we used blew them all away. I’m very pleased with the results..
As far as to ripping any SACD to file it is not going to be easy. Though I could hack the output of the SACD into the soundcard the result will come out too huge to handle the difference. I do have access to a PS3 that was never connected to the net but I think it will be not worth the efforts being what it is.
DSD is 1 floating bit at 2.82mHz, DSD isn’t 24/96 and isn’t easily converted to 96K. But it is 64 X 44.1 so can be easily converted to 44.1 or 88.2.
Kevin Gray always mentioned a 24/88.2 digital file as master for this.
It might sound exactly as the 1994 release at first, but it just a new transfer from the same masters used for the 1994 edition.
If everything was handled on a DAT there will be no difference except the more effective/transparent touch of the new converters and hardware used to warm up the signal, and that might have been top class being mastered by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio. If they were handled the master tape the only difference will have to be again the new hardware used (new converters do sound less squared compared to the previos generation of converters) to achieve that and more definition on the audio material.
Whatever the master might have been taken from, the result is what you’ll be hearing on the SACD layer.
And there’s no denying it. 🙂
Ok, Dynamic Range comparison time. First the 1994 CD, second the CD layer of the 2013 Audio Fidelity SACD/CD Hybrid:

It sounds great. The SACD sounds smooth and effortless, very dynamic. The CD layer sounds great as well, although I’m not noticing huge differences with the original 1994 CD. This isn’t to condemn the new CD layer as the original 1994 CD was pretty damned good in the first place. More A/Bing will probably reveal more.

Perhaps someone might like the latest offering on this thread’s subject. Does not sound that different to me anyway. 🙂
Downloading the Flac & cover link provides some odd files that do not resemble FLAC files… also, the download is very fast.
So I do not understand this offering at all.

2 zip-files that you unpack in order to get a bunch of rar-files that you unpack in order to get the flac-files 😉 and zippyshare is fast…
So I do not understand this offering at all.
Some did understand the offering at least. Sorry. My fault, mate.
Thanks to Calidoran & oknihcap1 for making it as clear as it was supposed to be and to DC for adding the extra artwork. 🙂
I found this link if you are willing to read a little something about ripping SACDs with the help of PS3s 😉
SACD ripping using your PS3 (part 2) (http://www.computeraudiophile.com/f11-software/sacd-ripping-using-your-ps3-part-2-a-7495/)
Still I have to capacitate over the benefit of a 4 gb’s file that will end up being listened to via computer speakers or not appropriate hi-fi systems in a not suitable ambient. However, this will not sound as good as the original SACD.
Only the newer generation of speakers and amplifiers, are capable of addressing all the clarity of a SACD theoretically… not to mention really expensive headphones if you managed not to screw your hearing with iPod’s or the loudest clubbing policies!
It is too early to catch this new technology and soon or later it will be available as DSD digital download anyway. Something software based might come out in the near future to back up SACD’s. It took me years before being able to rip my AKAI discs back in the days.
SACD audio streams are encoded in a pulse-density modulation (PDM) scheme called Direct Stream Digital (DSD).
That is the closest match to analog so far and if this takes place the revolution will cut out a lot of things out there.
Also when listened via computer it will spoil all the fun even if decoded on the fly by foobar2000.
Could someone with advanced audio skills provide a PCM file from the raw DSD file in case?
I can rip the raw DSD, but a lot of people here won’t have a DSD compatible DAC.
I would love a transcode of this. Preferably to a playable flac?
Please post it. It would be very useful.
DSD audio architecture is way too different from PCM as we are used to. That will end up in a huge waste of bandwidth for the upload and something too big to be handled by common mortal equipment… unless you have access to esoteric stuff I mean.
Though I am halfway there I still think it will be useless. The raw DSD will be enough if mr_merrick has access to a PS3 with the right firmware.
I would love a transcode of this. Preferably to a playable flac?
FLAC won’t play at such high resolution. WavePack might eventually do the job.
Though I am halfway there I still think it will be useless. The raw DSD will be enough if mr_merrick has access to a PS3 with the right firmware.
There is most certainly no need to convert with the full 2.8MHz sample rate. It can be much, much lower. The noise floor with SACD is not constant, it rises with frequency:
In fact, the noise can actually be worse above 10kHz on an SACD compared to a CD, but not by much.
I would still love to have the raw DSD source. So, mr_merrick, if you’re out there, it would be awesome if you could post it.

In fact, the noise can actually be worse above 10kHz on an SACD compared to a CD, but not by much.
It is not the 2.8MHz sample rate (64 times the CD Audio sampling rate of 44.1 kHz, but only at 1⁄16th its 16-bit resolution) that worries me. It is the fact that a 24-bit/88.2 kHz file has been turned into 2.8MHz file.
It "feels" like burning a bunch of mp3’s on cd and pretending it will sound better because it’s on cd now.
It will sound slighty better because of the interpolation from 128 or 320 kbps to 1411 kbps but I’d rather stick to the original 128 or 320 kbps without wasting a cd and plugging any MP3 capable player with a dedicated line-out straight into the amplifier.
What they did was simply using the latest hi-tech hardware to accomplish a new transfer and then worked on it at the same sample rate they got it. They never left the PCM domain until the encoding stage. The hardware they used for production is PCM based.
It was just encoded into DSD for the SACD layer because that is the target marketing. It could have stayed into the DVD-Audio domain but it was chosen to use the DSD format.
Both Ogg and Wma files are clearly better than mp3’s… but we are still using mp3’s.
While the difference is actually "felt" when you are releasing a 5.1 DSD layer on the SACD which has been recorded (or restored) in high resolution and mixed (or remixed) from an original multitrack recording… on this the benefit won’t be "felt" that much.
It would make more sense a transfer of the original multitrack quad-mixes used for the workprint for example.
Now that will definitely benefit from the DSD approach. 🙂
Starting to get a grip on the new DSD swindle… that is the thing we need to "feel" perhaps.
Sorry Zoran, too much infos this time! 😉

Hace algunos a???os analic??? (de manera bastante meticulosa) varios "trabajos" de esta gente, s???, los de esa "empresa" que se hace llamar "Audio Fidelity".
La conclusi???n fue tajante: UNA BASURA TODO SU TRABAJO, TANTO EL AUDIO COMO LA GR???FICA. Estos delincuentes no tienen acceso a ning???n "m???ster", sus fuentes son simples y comunes CDs de donde toman el audio, obviamente, pero adem???s, tampoco poseen los trabajos de arte (covers) originales y limpios, tan solo escan???an (muy mal) y borran/eliminan los escritos/fuentes originales (a???n peor que como realizaron los escan???os) para luego colocarle sus escrituras encima.
Son DELINCUENTES y ESTAFADORES. Todo esto se lo advert??? a varios amigos (uno de ellos frecuenta ???ste foro), pero a???n as???, algunos decidieron adquirir dicha basura de trabajo, claro, me refiero a las porquer???as de vinyl & Hybrid SACD 2013.
Repito resumiendo: la fuente de toda esta porquer???a es un CD com???n (y ni siquiera en ???ste han tenido el cuidado de seleccionar un cover frontal en el que est??? centrado -y sin cortar la "B"- el t???tulo "BLADE RUNNER". No hay nada de DAT ni parecido como m???ster, mentiras y m???s mentiras!
En cuanto al trabajo sobre el audio, es muy c???mico leer "reviews", "an???lisis" y comentarios sobre la "grand???sima" calidad de la "remasterizaci???n". El sonido final es P???SIMO, con un nivel de distorsi???n espantoso, muy pero muy desagradable.
Kevin Gray, adem???s de estafador y delincuente (y mentiroso) est??? realmente sordo, muy pero mucho! Y, por lo visto nada ha aprendido de un verdadero maestro como Steve Hoffman. Kevin Gray realiz??? ???ste "remaster" aplicando tan solo un par de plugins y EQ (y mal, de manera horripilante).
Podr???amos decir que estos Blade Runner’s de 2013 (vinilo & SACD) son 100% bootlegs, pero con un "peque???o detalle": quienes los hicieron lucran con ellos, llen???ndose los bol$illos (mentir y estafar a sus clientes es solo un "bonus").
Si Vangelis y Frederick Rousseau, han ya tomado conocimiento y escuchado ???ste trabajo p???simo, deben estar con dolor de h???gado. http://www.zarqdag.net/masters/hihi.gif

Hoy tuve la oportunidad de hacerle una grat???sima entrevista a Pendor (otro pirata semi-delincuente, pero que al menos no lucra econ???micamente con sus basuras)…
Guilli: Hola Pendor, ???c???mo est???s, c???mo te va?
Pendor: No es algo que a usted debiera incumbirle.
Guilli: Ahora que el Papa es argentino, ???viajar??? a Ilalia?
Pendor: Tampoco es de su incumbencia, pero le responder??? tan solo para hacerlo sentir peor. No, de momento no viajar??? a Italia. Francisco trabaja para un Estado corrupto y que se fundamenta en mentiras infantiles y milenarias, no es de mi simpat???a adem???s, es argentino y ellos tampoco me simpatizan. De viajar a Italia lo har???a por dos razones: la primera, encajarle sendas patadas en el culo a un amigo por haber colaborado -compra vinyl & SACD- con una empresa que delinque mediante la producci???n de material "audi???filo", conocida como Audio Fidelity. La segunda raz???n de mi visita al pa???s con forma de bota, ser???a modificar un Apogee Rosetta con salidas y entradas anal???gicas balanceadas.
Guilli: Bueno Pendor, muchas gracias por su tiempo y gran simpat???a.
Pendor: Son u$s2000.- o… ???usted tiene hermana… o prima?
I bought this new SACD myself too. But if I understand correctly, it’s nothing more than some kind of ‘fake’???
Shame on Audio Fidelity and everyone connected with it!
El Hybrid SACD no es "fake", es peor… es un SACD no-multicanal y no-alta resoluci???n. O sea: un sinsentido absoluto (bueno, en realidad el ???nico sentido que ha tenido es el haber generado plata, mucha platita). Reza el disco digital en su cara superior: "Mastered for this SACD by Kevin Gray at (in-)Coherent Audio".
Sobre el vinilo, ??????qu??? m???s decir?! Ya de por si el formato es una basura obsoleta, adem???s, si a eso le sumamos la espantosa calidad del audio "remasterizado" por Audio Fidelity, tendr???amos ni m???s ni menos que una "bomba auditiva". TODOS CUERPO A TIERRA Y CON LOS O???DOS BIEN TAPADOS!!!
Atlantic Records, ???estar??? al tanto e informada sobre toda esta bazofia realizada por Audio Fidelity?
Sin dudas, la industria del audio f???sico est??? muerta y bien muerta… y bien merecido que se lo tienen!
She is the one who likes the Pope anyway! 🙂
The not-even-handsome hacker, a bit worn out by a couple of parties and still unsure to go at the one tonight, is keeping her company sipping yet another double-malt beer… he hasn’t really stopped matter of fact… and he is still uncertain if the buildings sitting on front of them are sort of oblique… or it is him to still see things that way after a trip to the smart shop a couple of days ago…
We have to admit the dutch have it proper on the architectural side of things… Let’s hope the Blade Runner frame won’t be oblique as well back home!
That’s for badwisdom and Calidoran of course! 😉
I had my suspicions when I downloaded the vinyl rip, but this is the final proof I needed. The source for the SACD and vinyl rip is the 1994 CD. Draw your own conclusions about the people participating in this project.
A few years ago I analyzed (rather meticulously) several "jobs" of these people, yes, the "company" calling itself "Audio Fidelity".
The conclusion was unequivocal: TRASH, ALL OF ITS JOB, BOTH THE AUDIO AND THE GRAPHICS. These criminals don’t have access to any "master", their sources are simple and common CD’s where they get the audio, that’s obvious, but also, nor they have the original and clean artworks (covers), so they only scan (very bad) and erase/remove the writings/original fonts (done even worse than the scans) and then place their writings over.
They are CRIMINALS and SWINDLERS. I warned about all of this several friends (one of them posts on this forum), but even so, some have chosen to buy such crap work, of course I mean the crap 2013 vinyl & Hybrid SACD.
I repeat, summing up: the source of all this crap is a regular CD (and even in this they haven’t been careful to select a front cover that should have been centered, and without cutting the "B"- on the title "BLADE RUNNER". There’s nothing even close to DAT as master, lying and more lying!
As for the work on the audio, it is very funny to read "reviews", "analysis" and comments about the "very great" quality of the "remastering". The final sound is DREADFUL with a terrible distortion level, very, very unpleasant.
Kevin Gray, in addition to swindler and criminal (and a liar) is really dumb hearing, very, very much! And, it seems he has learned nothing from a true master like Steve Hoffman. Kevin Gray made this "remaster" applying just a couple of plugins and EQ (and badly, in a horrible way).
We could say that these Blade Runner 2013 releases (vinyl & SACD) are 100% bootlegs, but with a "small detail": those who made it are profiting from them, filling their pocket$ (lying and cheating their customers is just a "bonus ").
If Vangelis and Frederick Rousseau, have already learnt and listened to this terrible work, should feel really bad.http://www.zarqdag.net/masters/hihi.gif
And we continue with other details…
In the foreground we can see the vinyl BOOTLEGS, very defective pressing and which will play poorly…
In the background there are those others not so defective and that will play just as poorly … if not worse …
(On the vinyl pressing machine there isn’t much to add, just that it was useless when the last LP of Elvis was pressed in the 70s)
Here there’s part of the "high-tech and high resolution equipment", used for the "remastering" …
A "Spectrum Analyzer" as precise and accurate in resolution as could be assembled by a teenager with Elektor magazine in his hands, hallucinating!
Those who acquired the hybrid SACD would be free of guilt but those that in the XXI century purchased the vinyl… they have really deserved it…
Shame on me… 🙁
The neighbour liked the Pope picture and asked if she could have it. So I needed something the fill in the visual gap on the wall and thought that the vinyl artwork would look nice in the frame! 😉
Oh, and she also paid for that believe it or not! 🙂
Today I had the opportunity to make a very pleasant interview to Pendor (another semi-criminal hacker, but at least not profiting financially with their rubbish) …
Guilli: Hello Pendor, How are you doing, how are you?
Pendor: It’s not something that should be your business.
Guilli: Now that the Pope is argentine, will you travel to Italy?
Pendor: It is none of your business, but I’ll answer just to make him feel worse. No, I will not travel to Italy for the time being. Francisco works for a corrupt State, and which is also based on millenary childish lies, plus I don’t like him much, he is argentine and I don’t like them either. If I will have to travel to Italy I would do that for two reasons: first, to give a kick in the ass to a friend for having collaborated- purchasing both vinyl & SACD- with a company breaking the law by means of producing "audiophile" material, known as Audio Fidelity. The second reason for my visit to the boot-shaped country, would be to modify an Apogee Rosetta with balanced analog inputs and outputs.
Guilli: Okay Pendor, thank you very much for your time and great sympathy.
Pendor: That will be $2000.- or… Do you have any sister… or cousin?
I bought this new SACD myself too. But if I understand correctly, it’s nothing more than some kind of ‘fake’???
Shame on Audio Fidelity and everyone connected with it!
The Hybrid SACD is not "fake", it’s worse … is a non-multichannel SACD and no-high resolution. That is, absolute nonsense (well, actually the only sense it has is having generated money, very little money). The digital disc on the top side reads, "Mastered for this SACD by Kevin Gray at (in-)Coherent Audio".
On the vinyl, what can I say?! Already in itself the format is obsolete junk, also, if we add the awful audio quality "remastered" by Audio Fidelity, we have neither more nor less than an "aural bomb". EVERYBODY GET DOWN AND EARS WELL SHUT!
Atlantic Records, are you aware and informed about all of this crap by Audio Fidelity?
Undoubtedly, the physical audio industry is dead as a doornail … and they have well deserved to be so!
Guilli is back with a vengeance it seems! 😉
Es solo para mostrar parte de una realidad, que no todo lo que venden como oro… es en realidad "24K Gold".
Una vez m???s, queda confirmado que una buena publicidad de un producto p???simo y nefasto (Vinyl & SACD Audio Fidelity) vende y convence sin esfuerzo cualitativo alguno.
Algo similar sucede con el audio Hi-End, en el que se "hipnotiza" al cliente de variadas maneras visuales y psicol???gicas, haci???ndole creer que "el lujo" es sin???nimo de calidad de sonido cuando, en tant???simos casos se puede demostrar f???cilmente que muchos de los aparatos electr???nicos de precios estratosf???ricos que pregonan y prometen "un sonido diferente" y "la verdadera fidelidad", en verdad s??? ofrecen una notable diferencia: UN SONIDO PEOR Y NO-FIEL AL ORIGINAL.
Conectores y cables "m???gicos", v???lvulas o tubos de vac???o, giradiscos-c???psupas-p???as-vinilos, amplificadores operacionales (OP-AMPS) "especiales", etc etc hasta pi???s/patas o puntas "cient???ficas" de desacoplo ac???stico para electr???nicos y bafles o cajas ac???sticas… BENEFICIAN SIN LUGAR A DUDAS… obviamente, claro… AL FABRICANTE/VENDEDOR!!!
Y queda demostrado, nuevamente, que el humano promedio est??? realmente muy… pero muy… sordo y, en la misma l???nea, aquellos que escuchan "algo" gustan y aprecian mucho… much???simo… una generosa… generos???sima cantidad de distorsi???n/es y ruido/s. Esta es la conclusi???n resultante luego de leer algunas de las tantas cr???ticas y opiniones alabando y elevando hasta el cielo el nivel y calidad del p???simo, nefasto y mentiroso "trabajo" de Kevin Gray.
Eso es exactamente lo que ha ofrecido Audio Fidelity y su "remaster" en "hi-definition" a cargo de los DELINCUENTES Y ESTAFADORES Kevin Gray & C???a: SENDAS BASURAS DE TAMA???OS CORRESPONDIENTES (Y M???S) A LOS YA CITADOS VINILOs & SACDs, "REMASTERS" QUE SOLO APORTAN DISTORSIONES Y RUIDOS (el ancho de banda limitado al de un CD com???n ya es de pleno conocimiento -y es esta de las gran gran gran grandes mentiras y estafas de la "empresa" Audio Fidelity-).
Otra vez, los ???nicos "ganadores" de toda esta fantochada han sido los fabricantes/vendedores, una de las verg???enzas del audio mundial: audio fidelity (as???, todo ya en min???sculas, para graficar lo peque???os que eran y son y, lo inexistentes en que se convertir???n).
Y cuando toda esta mierda "defecada" por audio fidelity no sea m???s que un recuerdo anecd???tico y risue???o con "mal olor" (y sabor), seguir??? gozando de vida plena la obra ORIGINAL de 1994 creada por Vangelis & Frederick Rousseau (y su grupo de colaboradores, obviamente) que, si bien no es perfecta y dista mucho de lo que deber???a ser un verdadero "Blade Runner Soundtrack" original, completo, y definitivo, es, hasta el momento (y por largo tiempo) lo mejor con lo que contaremos ("lo menos malo", dir???a un perfeccionista) [NOTA: La Trilog???a de 2007 alguito m???s aport???, pero poco, casi nada].

Nor do I look like an elephant…more like…..fresh ginger?
I stepped into this soundtrack’s oblivion, not knowing what awaited me.
Dunno yet if that’s thrill or despair I feel, maybe a subtle mix of the two.
Anyway, being a completist, this is as close to a nightmare as I have ever been in, music-wise.
I have created an ffshrine account last week, since then I have extensively read both this thread and the "Ultimate" one (although I subscribe to the idea that this one is even more ultimate because, well, lossless is the only way to go), as well as a few others in other places.
Of course I’m about swamped in the multiplicity of choices, but I do think I’m slowly managing to emerge.
As far as consensus goes, seems like DC’s 29th Anniversary is a good compromise for the beginner.
I also gathered that earlier recordings -bootleg ones anyway- are more of a historical purpose than anything else, their audio quality being below fan-made material. That’s very fine with me, or would be, except for the sake of completism as mentioned above.
I am into role-playing games, so my interest may even extend so far as FX and sounds-related works, such as Los Angeles, November 2019 but that’s not quite sure yet.
For now, I have settled on the 29th Anniversary (Limited Edition) and I’m still struggling to isolate duplicates between this album and that.
Also, in my understanding, both Esper ‘retirement’ edition and the most recent 30th Anniversary’s vinyl and SACD are a big "no-no" from audiophiles.
That’s for things I have (or think I have) understood.
Now on a not entirely unrelated note, what I’m still unsure of is whether I should keep previously user-prefered versions such as the ultimate EMS recombination or beloved 2019 edition.
Those seem, at first sight anyway, pretty much redundant with 29th Anniversary, albeit slightly different.
Still pondering if the extra disk space is worth their respective added value.
Not to mention the other 10 ones (including official releases)…
Then again, I went so far into the business as to consider keeping them all and gathering every single piece of work I can find, relating to this wonderful movie.
But that’s definitely the collector speaking…
What all this gibberish boils down to is : thank you all. Both for the files themselves and the huge remastering/compiling work, indeed, but also for the historian’s and librarian’s tasks accomplished.
I wonder if a comprehensive summary could be achieved, since I find the existing posts (those at the beginning of each thread, that is) far too much complicated and yet very frustrating (for lack of more information) at the same time, but this is probably as close as it gets.
I keep on listening, trying to make my own choices, but any pointers from you guys are much welcome.

I’ve already asked father Xmas to get me "that" custom tailored… and modded obviously! 😉
As far as consensus goes, seems like DC’s 29th Anniversary is a good compromise for the beginner.
Well, it was meant to be a sum of whatever it was done to date. At least how most of us would have liked it on the completist side of things. It was just a deeper approach after the EMS was conceived.
For now, I have settled on the 29th Anniversary (Limited Edition) and I’m still struggling to isolate duplicates between this album and that.
The EMS was meant as a "Best Of" every other boot out there so far.
The 29th Anniversary inadvertently ended up being a companion disc to the official Trilogy somehow. What was missing (and we had) was added there.
Also, in my understanding, both Esper ‘retirement’ edition and the most recent 30th Anniversary’s vinyl and SACD are a big "no-no" from audiophiles.
I don’t know what went wrong with the production of the Esper Retirement Edition, they seemed to have the resources to make it proper, but it totally slept off their hands with the dutch bootleggers bootlegging the original bootleg and selling it along the original boot on eBay shortly after.
What we got out of the financial take of the Retirement was a partially maimed disc one and everything with inverted phase, a butcher-like edit of the Los Angeles 2019 album, a dj mix album… plus a rip off of what two members of this forums were still working on at the time.
It went straight into the 4th disc though none of them was never involved with the whole thing. Pendor made a very fine job in making it proper. It is more likely that you stumble upon the version Pendor fixed than the original discs… 🙂
The 30th Anniversary’s edition… quite the audiophile swindle as you could read.
… what I’m still unsure of is whether I should keep previously user-prefered versions such as the ultimate EMS recombination or beloved 2019 edition.
Those seem, at first sight anyway, pretty much redundant with 29th Anniversary, albeit slightly different.

Do keep all of them! You might also invest on one of the HD’s in the link above!! 😉
… thank you all. Both for the files themselves and the huge remastering/compiling work, indeed, but also for the historian’s and librarian’s tasks accomplished.

Thanks on behalf of everyone involved! 🙂
And yes. There is a comprehensive summary still lying around the computers waiting for the right time to pop up on these pages… Incidentally the right time seems to be only the spare time I might get in the next year …hopefully…
What this thread REALLY needs is the 1990 DAT tape that spawned that "Esper Edition" nonsense 😉
Yup!! That will be the isolated score then!
I would personally be content with what has never leaked out of the Outtakes… I’ve been talking father Xmas about that… let’s keep our fingers crossed! 🙂
And maybe that precious "Blade Runner – Cliffhanger and Radio Plays" AND "Blade Runner – FIC. version [Director’s Cut without dialog]".
PS: The Blade Runner – Cliffhanger and Radio Plays (http://www.anunna.net/vangelis-rarities/newsite.php?methode=methode1&id=147) might just be a rip of M???moires 5 if I remember correctly. I used to have a partial rip of that but at very low quality. It might have been also edited out the Esper Edition (which used the same source as a matter of fact)…
Though I was able to recreate the whole Esper in full lossless glory (since inexplicably some noted cues from the 1994 edition were taken from lossy sources and are frame by frame identical except for an added/looped note on Blush Response and some clever level enveloping on Love Theme to achieve the needed pace to glue to the previous cue), there are some small bits (seconds really) I just can’t tell where they came from. Surely they had access to something else that never made the rounds…
Definitely not.
It’s gorgeous indeed, but I’m a NAS user (you now know what this is ;)), and a very happy one.
I might upgrade said NAS quite soon, since I started with "meh" hardware to find out whether this kind of storage fitted my habits, and it sure does.
I’ll most probably never go back to anything else.
It’s reliable (provided you go for mirrored disks, of course) and, if capable, it can remain satisfactory speed-wise (with 3 disks and above, you can combine RAID 0 -striping- and RAID 1 -mirroring- in RAID 5 or RAID 10, thus achieving both redundancy and performance). I mean to buy such a device, and that’ll be it for some years (apart from internal HD replacement once in a while, maybe).
The red Coca-Cola bearded man should bring me this little baby :
Amazon.com: Synology America DiskStation 4-Bay Diskless Network Attached Storage (DS414): Computers & Accessories (http://www.amazon.com/Synology-DiskStation-Diskless-Attached-DS414/dp/B00G4CIPHS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1386071323&sr=8-1&keywords=ds414)
I lost all my data in 1999, and promised myself it would not happen again. It has not, and won’t, especially not for esthetical reasons 😛
Having ~300 GB of music alone, I intend on not having to go through encoding/finding it all again, not to mention tagging/renaming it.
(Sorry for this quick off-topic nonsense)
I think I’ll follow your advice and keep what I’ve got, and start looking for what I haven’t yet found.
*takes a deep breath*
DC & Pendor would like to thank technick for kindly posting the 29th Anniversary also on AvaxHome (http://avaxhome.ws/music/bootlegs/Vangelis__Blade_Runner__29th_Anniversary_Limited_E dition__4CD_set_2011.html).
All these would not have been possible without his kind help.
Have a better one! 😉

“This concert version the Blade Runner soundtrack is an orchestral tribute to the sci-fi noir classic originally created by Vangelis. The Heritage Orchestra were first invited by the Southbank Centre and Massive Attack to create a performance of this music for the Meltdown Festival 2008 at the Royal Festival Hall. More recently it has been developed with new additional orchestrations by Tom Trapp, and new visuals by Matt Watkins for the Vivid LIVE festival at the Sydney Opera House where it received rave reviews.
It is the first time a live cover version of Vangelis’ classic soundtrack as a live orchestral concert has been produced and the Heritage Orchestra’s version has been hailed a triumph by the UK and Australian press.
The global appeal of Vangelis’ evocative and haunting score, combined with the cult following of Ridley Scott’s film, and the unique musical approach of the Heritage Orchestra makes this a unique event for concert halls and large venues with a capacity of 1500+.
The sound is created with a minimum 30-piece orchestra that combines strings, synthesizers, sound effects, percussion, singers and instrumental soloists.
The performance does not involve a screening of the film, but features an evocative lighting and visual projections. Once combined with the live score, the effect is to immerse the audience in a sonic and visual experience that transports them into the dark and atmospheric world of Blade Runner.
Blade Runner Replica is a truly unique orchestral production exclusively available through Flying Giant. It is an unofficial tribute to the original soundtrack and does not feature Vangelis.”

“The smoky, futuristic world of Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner was brought viscerally to life last night at London’s Royal Festival Hall. One of the more intriguing programme additions at this year’s ‘Meltdown Festival’, this live performance of ‘Vangelis’ Soundtrack to Blade Runner’ attracted quite a crowd. Those who took the plunge and came along to the event were treated to a stunning display of musical performance by the Heritage Orchestra who faithfully recreated, with live mixing by festival curators Massive Attack, the music of the original soundtrack album – minus the dialogue.
Even before the concert-proper commenced, we were immersed in the performance space; dark, shadowy and billowing smoke, we knew this wasn’t to be your average concert experience. On a screen overhead archive images of Vangelis working on the score in his studio were cut together with footage from the film, while the air around us was permeated with drones and heartbeat effects, the room felt as though it were living. Gradually performers began to take their seats on the shadowy stage, and all of a sudden the performance began without fanfare or introduction; in fact the sounds we’d been hearing as we waited were the introduction.
From the heart-pounding tympani rolls that pre-empted the ‘Main Titles’, I knew that this was going to be something special and indeed not your average film music concert, nor your average orchestra. Everything about it was unconventional, apt considering Vangelis’ approach to scoring films and the resulting music. The strings (which, while live, were treated in the mix and sounded otherworldly), harp and piano were positioned at the rear of the stage, seemingly in darkness; while the percussionists, synthesists and alike performed along the front. It was an unusual set-up; however, the latter group played such an integral role in the piece that their positioning front and centre meant you could really see that all the Vangelis-like nuances were real and performed. Among the shadows, before slatted panels that glittered with clusters of light and numbers, the ensemble worked as one; a breathing musical organism creating wonderful sounds, sounds that at times hit you between the eyes, dived into your soul and burned themselves on your memory.
It’s difficult to pluck highlights from the gapless performance; however the solo performances by Janey Miller on Oboe d’amoure and Tom Richards on Alto Sax were very special. The latter of course shone in ‘Love Theme’, the most recognisable piece for the unfamiliar, and the first to elicit applause (very difficult to know when to clap when there are few definitive breaks in the music!). More applause came for the vocal numbers, with Guy Garvey performing ‘One More Kiss, Dear’ (always an amusing, though enjoyable, adjunct to the rest of the music), while Vashti Bunyan and Omar Ebrahim provided wonderfully earthy and ethereal vocals in ‘Rachel’s Song’ and ‘Tales of the Future’ respectively – highlights both.
The ‘Blade Runner (End Titles)’ came round all too quickly, though it was a barnstorming performance, and one of my favourite Vangelis compositions, which garnered a decidedly riotous response from the crowd. With the sound of falling rain came of course ‘Tears in the Rain’ and a return to the chilled, twinkling soulfulness of all that came before. The audience went wild, bows were taken and ‘more’ was cried for… but no more came. We didn’t really know what to expect upon going in, but in the end it absolutely did what it said on the tin – an hour (ish) of some of the most visceral film music, by one of the idiom’s most identifiable voices. It was perhaps all too short (I could have gone for another half hour at least!), but the performance was so intricately orchestrated – indeed those performers at the front spent the entire time running from one instrument to the next to hit their points – it was perhaps all they could muster. Blade Runner has been done on stage before, but I don’t think any of those interpretations would stand up to what took place at Meltdown last night; it was simply extraordinary – Vangelis would have been proud.”

‘Tonight is a bit of an experiment,’ explains Massive Attack’s Robert Del Naja, visibly nervous during the opening performance of the Meltdown festival. ‘It’s about making it up as we go along.’ Taking risks is part of Meltdown’s ethos and though the curators don’t spring any radical surprises – their new material shares the mood of 1998’s Mezzanine, evoking the onset of a very tasteful paranoia attack – nor do they deliver a greatest hits set.
Having fulfilled their ‘contractual obligations’ (the enduringly gorgeous ‘Unfinished Sympathy’), they finish with a dense and atmospheric new song ‘Dobro’, Del Naja’s crisp whisper set to keyboards and acoustic guitar. It bodes well for a chilly future.
Three nights later, Del Naja looks more comfortable, lurking behind the mixing desk as the Heritage Orchestra perform Vangelis’s classic soundtrack to Blade Runner, newly re-scored from the original keyboard parts. The Greek composer’s music invites a certain pretentiousness from audience and performers alike, and tonight has the feel of what beatniks used to describe as ‘a happening’. The air in the Festival Hall is thick with incense, Damon Albarn and Aphex Twin are in attendance, and two men leak water into a miked-up plastic box to create the sound of rainfall as we take our seats.
But where the Heritage Orchestra succeed brilliantly is in embracing the more esoteric elements of the work without compromising its rich, haunting atmosphere. As four percussionists tinker away like mad professors – one bowing something that looks like a 16th-century nautical instrument, another coaxing great swirling gusts of sound from a wind machine – the soundtrack’s more familiar moments take on new life.
The sultry saxophone part of the famous ‘Love Theme’ induces a flood of serotonin-like warmth. The wordless vocals of ‘Rachel’s Song’, delivered by Vashti Bunyan, are beautifully understated. And baritone Omar Ebrahim produces a series of startling throaty tics on ‘Tales of the Future’, as the score draws towards its close. The Heritage Orchestra’s great achievement is to put flesh on the bones of a score so otherworldly.

“This evening is a performance of Vangelis’ score for the film Blade Runner. Although it includes visual elements it does not include a screening or footage from the film.
A part-electronic, part-symphonic spectacle described as ‘jaw-dropping’ (Time Out London), Vivid LIVE presents the Australian debut of the 45-piece Heritage Orchestra – performing Blade Runner’s retro-futuristic score in a stunning visual backdrop engulfed by the film’s signature, dystopian ambiance.
A chart-topping soundtrack that took a decade to release, was rumoured to exist in 20 different versions and won a reputation as influential and mythical as its cinema counterpart – Vangelis’ synthetic and symphonic response to Ridley Scott’s 1982 cult classic has become a masterpiece in its own right. Cementing the Greek composer’s status as a genius of electronic music, the maestro himself finally blessed a live reinterpretation of the score after 30 years laying dormant – a momentous occasion rapturously received as part of the Southbank Centre’s Meltdown Festival in 2008.
From signature motifs such as ‘Love Theme’s’ haunting saxophone solo and Mary Hopkin’s angelic vocals on ‘Rachel’s Song’ to the starkly romantic synthesizers of ‘Blade Runner Blues’, Vangelis’ score has proved an enduring influence to the electronic vanguard, the latest of which includes Los Angeles progressive beat-maker Flying Lotus. Now making its Australian premiere at Vivid LIVE, the Heritage Orchestra will once again illuminate a score that has transcended its troubled past into something truly mythical.”
——————————————————————————–
“In 2008 the orchestra took every experience it had and put it to use on the first ever live orchestral reinterpretation of Vangelis’ soundtrack to Blade Runner. What was once an electronic score, created entirely on synthesisers by Vangelis, was orchestrated and brought to life for Massive Attack’s Meltdown Festival at the Royal Festival Hall with guest vocalists Guy Garvey, Vashti Bunyan, and Omar Ebrahim.
Led by orchestral producer Chris Wheeler, plus a crack team of orchestrators, fastidious synthesiser programmers, technical crew, and visuals from the United Visual Artists, the show was a groundbreaking success, and a highlight of the festival.
“The smoky, futuristic world of Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner was brought viscerally to life… a stunning display of musical performance by the Heritage Orchestra… Blade Runner has been done on stage before, but I don’t think any of those interpretations would stand up to what took place at Meltdown last night; it was simply extraordinary” – Music from the Movies (Michael Beek)

“…where the Heritage Orchestra succeed brilliantly is in embracing the more esoteric elements of the work without compromising its rich, haunting atmosphere. The Heritage Orchestra’s great achievement is to put flesh on the bones of a score so otherworldly” – The Observer (Ally Carnwath)

“The film score to Ridley Scott’s 1982 classic Blade Runner was always more than a fanfare for Harrison Ford’s on-screen heroics. Eerie and ambient, Vangelis’s soundtrack stood alone as a beautiful piece of work.
Rightly so, then, that the Royal Festival Hall was packed on the fourth night of the Meltdown festival to hear the Heritage Orchestra’s rendering of the Greek composer’s masterpiece, as mixed by curators Massive Attack.
Rumbling percussion and rising strings evoked the film’s nightmarish vision of a dystopian future. Damon Albarn, who was among the spellbound audience, must have been smiling knowingly at this kingdom of doom.
He may even have tapped his foot, as drums and electric bass entered the mix. In its eerie groove, it was easy to see why Vangelis’s score has been cited as the precursor to trip-hop – the downbeat electronic music made famous by Massive Attack in the early Nineties.
Attention flittered during the sparser moments of the evening, as one remembered that part of Blade Runner’s appeal came from its script as well as its score. For the main part, though, the music was more than enough. The film’ s most famous track, The Love Theme – to which Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) and Rachael (Sean Young) put their genetic differences aside for a night of human/replicant love – was a smouldering soundscape of warm bass and wailing saxophone.
Few could describe Guy Garvey as smouldering but Elbow’s burly frontman didcroon beautifully over the jazzy skip of One More Kiss, Dear. If his band keep underachieving, a glittering career on the jazz circuit may yet beckon. He’d have to tuck in his shirt, mind.
More than shirts were flailing for Blade Runner (End Titles), as conductor Jules Buckley led his troops to a triumphant finale with a flurry of arm movements that wouldn’t have been out of place at one of Massive Attack’s live shows.
As the Heritage Orchestra bowed as one, the crowd applauded what they had seen: five-star, on-stage heroics.”

Reading through this thread, is it correct that the best quality END titles are found on the 29th anniversary edition?
Well… the makers certainly happen to like "those versions" (because there’s "more than one") more than "their original counterparts" (best referred as the "original sources")… if the originals would have not needed changes at all they would have not gone into the nightmare of fixing the hell out of it… make up your mind on that…
If you ask me I’ll say that the best version is the original 7 minutes mix on the composer’s reels… and that’s not there unfortunately! 🙂

Thank you, DC!
Again, it is well known that good advertisement for a lousy and nefarious product (Audio Fidelity’s Vinyl & SACD) sells and convinces without qualitative efforts.
Something similar happens with the Hi-End audio, in which the client is "hypnotized" in various visual and psychological ways, into believing that "luxury" is synonymous with sound quality when, in so many cases can be easily demonstrated that many electronic devices touting stratospheric price and promising a "different sound" and "true fidelity" do really offer a striking difference: WORST sOUND AND NON-FIDELITY TO THE ORIGINAL.
Connectors and "magic" cables, valves or vacuum tubes, turntables-cartridges-needles-vinyls, "special" operational amplifiers (OP-AMPS), etc etc up to "scientific" acoustic decoupling cones/bases or spikes for electronics and cabinets or acoustic speakers… WILL UNQUESTIONABLY BENEFIT… obviously, clearly… THE MANUFACTURER/SELLER!!!
And it is proved, again, that the average human is really very… but very… deaf and, in the same vein, those who hear "something" do like and appreciate lot of… plenty… generous… very generous amount of distortion/s and noise/s. This is the resulting conclusion after reading some of the many reviews and opinions praising and lifting to the sky the level and quality of lousy, nefarious and deceitful "work" by Kevin Gray.
That is exactly what has offered Audio Fidelity and its "remaster" in "hi-definition" run by CRIMINALS AND SCAMMERS Kevin Gray & Co.: PATHS FOR WASTE OF CORRESPONDENT NUMBER (AND MORE) REFERRED TO AND VINYL & SACDs, "REMASTERS" THAT ONLY BRING DISTORTIONS AND NOISE (the limited bandwidth to a common CD is already full knowledge -and this is the great great great great lies and scams of the "enterprise" Audio Fidelity-).
Again, the only "winners" of all this pantomime are the manufacturers/sellers, one of the audio world’s shame: audio fidelity (just like that, everything in lowercase, to testify how small they were and they are and, non-existent they will become) .
And when all this shit "released" by audio fidelity will be no more than an anecdotal memory and synonymous with "bad smell" (and taste), will continue to enjoy full life the ORIGINAL 1994 work created by Vangelis & Frederick Rousseau (and his staff, obviously) that, while not perfect and far from what should be a real original "Blade Runner Soundtrack", complete, and definitive, is, so far (and for a long time) the best we will have ("the less bad", a perfectionist would say) [NOTE: The 2007 Trilogy contributed little something more, but little or nothing].

Today, while on a pilgrimage to an unlikely-dystopian Vatican City I had a chance to confere with the Pope. 😉
If you manage to smug one of those Voight Kampff machines they keep segregated along with alien artifacts in the american desert (it wasn’t me to say that of course, you heard it from someone else) you might want to ehnance and pull back and spot me on the far left, behind the guy with that camera-phone!!!
You must know the Holy Pope, as Guilli, is a Blade Runner aficionado too! He would not comment on the Audio Fidelity affair, but he kindly shared his opinions on the actual movie. 🙂
He said: "Unlike the parable in the bible when the prodigal son returns, Batty is not at all welcome. Human and replicant are alike in their quest to touch divinity.
Unfortunately humans gave up their quest with all the consequences of them losing their faith did imply.
Humanity has been dragged downwards and devalued, and Batty’s development of emphatic response somehow leads to Deckard’s recovery of such a response.
Only the last replicant seem to have a sense of mercy left in him unlike the cinical blade runner chasing him and what has feeling is ultimately human."
Then the pope had some kind words towards the sinner named Pendor: Door is always open for the sheep who get lost. 😉

…momento en el cual fans de las cosas bien hechas comparten con Bergoglio fotos del rostro del estafador kevin gray (con min???sculas) luego de enterarse que no ha sido seleccionado (y ni siquiera tenido en cuenta) para realizar las nuevas remasterizaciones de Esoteric Recordings las que, una vez m???s, estar???n a cargo del propio Vangelis y su amigo Fr???d???rick Rousseau.
[Tampoco han solicitado los servicios de DC o Pendor, pero no precisamente por ser estafadores (como kevin gray), sino por lo que ya todos conocen: ambos padecen avanzados estados de sordera (y uno de ellos -Pendor-, adem???s, est??? muy loco. Tambi???n es sabido que ha hecho varios pactos con el Diablo, en los cuales siempre sali??? perdiendo… el Diablo)].

The Esper Retirement editon is based on M???moires 5 so I would surely skip that. All the needed bits off the EMS recombination were used for the 29th Anniversary, so I’d start down the latter.
The Final Mix was based off the Trilogy edition. The very same "reasoning" was applied also to the 29th Annyversary anyway.
If you would really like to go through the AC/DC Highway to Hell long and winding road, then you should start to line in synchronization M???moires 5 to the PAL version of the audio (or time stretch M???moires 5 to 104% if you would like to retain the original NTSC speed of the movie and line that to the Blu-Ray—which is the better source out there—) and then add the needed bits off the 29th Anniversary Edition (some cues might need the usual 104% time stretching treatment most likely).
Assuming you will definitely opt for the Blu-Ray mix of the 5.1 audio (some needed bits might still be hidden there though most of them were already isolated for the 29th Annyversary) then you’re done.
Obviously you might want to isolate some of those bits by yourself to retain a better flow with the 5.1 audio. You might not need to upsample the 29th Anniversary sources at all in such case (e.g. iZotope RX)…
Do not attempt to downmix anything until the very last step of the project. Make sure you use a proper resampling algorithm to upsample M???moires 5 and the 29th Anniversary to the Blu-Ray resolution and bit depth.
Take care of the phase cancellation issues that might pop up occasionally when using both front and rear channels.
A proper M???moires 5 time stretching algorithm might take up to a whole day (e.g. Steinberg WaveLab)… and once you are at it I would personally export to 48 kHz when matching the eq (e.g. iZotope Ozone) of the 5.1 audio to give the audio more frames for the software to make its adjustments before going into the time stretching process.
I’d personally use the Director’s Cut or the International Cut version since on The Final Cut all the possible tampering was done to add the extra bits. There might be a problem with the shared parts of the audio of the Theatrical, International and Director’s Cut depending which version you will be using, so do be careful when comparing the different versions. Some have simply repetitions in place of the referenced audio for those scenes that differ in the different versions.
They might have fixed that glitch on the latest 30th Anniversary edition though… or the ripping software might have been updated to cope with that…
You should use The Criterion version in reference to what should be used for the restored bits to the Director’s Cut since some parts of the audio were not so effectively aligned for the 1992 version. The video stream was obviously given the proper priority and they could only use what they already had for the editing, and the more complete version was what ended up in the Criterion laserdisc. I still prefer the 1992 version for the Batty chase sequence for example.
All you need now is the very best software engines out there, plenty of experience with them… and plenty of spare time! We wish you the very best of luck! 🙂
I’ve attempted extracting, cutting/remixing from 5.1 stems to get a decent mix of an unreleased song from the movie "Cypher" in Pro Tools. It. Was. Hard. I have much respect for you and your ilk. BTW, I read the story behind the 29th Anniversary edition late into the night as I was pondering this project. I can’t 1up you, but I can say I don’t even have a cell phone right now.
I plan on using either Pro Tools or Logic to mix to picture. As my sync, I plan on using the BluRay audio [Final Cut] from the 25th anniversary mix-but only as a guide. Pro Tools’ upsampling engine has always worked great for me. What are your thoughts? I have some beyer-dynamics DT-880s cans with a decent 24/96 DAC/headphone amp hooked to my Mac Book Pro. I plan on working at 48kHz.
Thanks for mentioning RX. I do plan on using Ozone on the mastering pass.
I’ll post some preliminary mixes for feedback.

The studio uses Pro Tools and sometimes Logic… but I do not particularly like both resampling engines… and I am not the only one. Have a look at these SRC Comparisons (http://src.infinitewave.ca/) and you’ll see/hear what I am meaning.
Logic has/had some sync issues and it tends to loose syncronization between tracks after a large number of automations and effect sends… They might have fixed that in the newer builds… but I’d go for a safer Pro Tools option on such regard.
I strongly suspect you are on a MAC but you should be able to use r8brain PRO via BootCamp or the likes. That is the best out there. It takes double to resample, not that you’ll be in a rush, but you’ll appreciate the outcome. 🙂
I would use the Final Cut only to add the Qu’ran bit most likely… but do as you see fit. The Final Cut is brighter than the archival versions… so M???moires 5 will be less bright and you’ll be having an extra thing to cope with in that case.
For the sake of avoiding 10 different versions of the same file ending on eBay as rare workprints you might want to use PM’s to send preview links to the persons you want to evaluate your work. I trust you got the message! 😉
As you might have glimpsed I’m not particularly fond of mobile phones, so feel free to send a PM for the technical bits you might need in case!
Quadrophonic mix… on the Workprint there are bits survived to the final stereo purge if you are interested in that… I am not sure about making it quadrophonic… Every useable bit was already mixed in stereo and unless you want to extract the efx out the Westwood game and add that to the stereo mix as a bonus…
I don’t know. It does sound a bit difficult… If you succeed you’ll definitely get a living in Hollywood surrounded by glamour models and wannabe stars-to-be! 🙂
You may want to add the 29th Anniversary Edition and the 30th Anniversary Edition to your collection. . .
Thank you very much!
The 29th Anniversary contains a bit of everything Blade Runner on the not-so-official side of the matter… the 30th Anniversary contains the official take on the matter as in the 1994 edition.
The 37th Anniversary might put the word stop to the matter I’m hoping. 🙂
As I get it, this 30th anniversary edition has been quite butchered, audio-wise, because of sloppy editing work and what not (I’m not a technical guru that way).
I personally skipped this one when gathering as much material as I could, a few months ago.
I guess in the end, it’s up to you listening to the actual score and deciding whether it’s worth your disk space.
Yes. That was Edgar Rothermich. It does not sound bad anyway. 🙂
I am not sure if we were meaning the 25th Anniversary Trilogy edition at this point!
For the people who missed it the first time here’s the original concept that predated all Esper releases (though the original Esper got it right anyway…)

Mr. X (http://misterekis.blogspot.com/)
Many thanks – once again – to Pendor, Guilli and Mr. X for yet another impeccable "Blade Runner" release!
Ficci???n sonora – Versi???n masterizada de ‘Blade Runner’, Ficci???n sonora – RTVE.es A la Carta (http://www.rtve.es/alacarta/audios/ficcion-sonora/ficcion-sonora-version-masterizada-blade-runner-ultima-ficcion-sonora-rne/2358017/)

(??? 2012)
Una edici???n pr???cticamente igual a la "Original 2011", con peque???os cambios en algunos tracks, un track alternativo y, una nueva y "re-re-re-pulida" versi???n completa de "Blade Runner (End Titles) [Full Length Version]".
Mr. X (http://misterekis.blogspot.com/)
NOTA F???NEBRE:
El d???a 26 de mayo y a las 13:00 horas, se han dado por conclu???das las tareas de b???squeda y rescate de Pendor, quien naufragara, tan solo 15 minutos antes, en las aguas del "Dead Sea" durante el viaje inaugural de un sofisticado trimar???n a pedales. Sin haber hallado sus restos, las autoridades declararon a Pendor oficialmente muerto las 13:01 horas del mismo d???a 26.
Familiares, amigos y vendedores de bootlegs en eBay, han un???dose en oraci???n rogando permanezca en ese estado el resto de su muerte.
Un artista local, esculpir??? su figura. Utilizar??? para ello residuos cloacales.
Arrivederci Pendor, siempre permanecer???s en nuestras CD-tecas!!! (…solo y tan solo hasta que consigamos algo menos basura)
Vangelis / Blade Runner (29th Anniversary Limited Edition) [2nd Edition]
(??? 2012)
An almost equal to the "Original 2011" edition, with minor changes in some tracks, an alternative track and a brand "newly-re-polished " full version of "Blade Runner (End Titles) [Full Length Version]".
Mr. X (http://misterekis.blogspot.com/)
FUNERAL NOTE:
On May 26th at 13:00 hours, Jordan Coast Guard has terminated the search and rescue mission of Pendor, who shipwrecked, just 15 minutes before, in the waters of the "Dead Sea" during the maiden voyage of a sophisticated pedal trimaran. Without having found his remains, authorities declared Pendor officially dead at 13:01 pm the same day, 26th of May.
Family, friends and bootleg sellers on eBay were united in prayer asking to remain in the country to celebrate his funeral.
A local artist, will be sculpting his figure. To achieve that he will use sewage wastes.
Goodbye Pendor, you will always remain in our Cd-libraries! (… only and most likely only until we get something less rubbish)
Unconfirmed sources alleged that the local authorities were fairly busy trying to end an ambiguous bachelor party on the beach. Bachelors also blamed the use of a fairly expensive bottle of champagne to bless the trimaran. The bottle did not break upon contact with the trimaran anyway so they carried partying. A number of traditions and superstitions are associated with it. An old lady that wished not to be named said: I saw it coming. To drown at lunchtime with the costal guards busy with those pink bits on display everywhere. My boy. Poor dear…
We will miss Pendor from the bottom of our hearts… "Pendor Sainthood now!"
I prefer the flow from one track to another that Esper provides which is similar to most of the tracks on the official Blade Runner Trilogy, 25th Anniversary edition.
Christmas is a time for sharing so here is something special for all you Blade Runner fans. Over the last few months I have been working on a continous mix which capturea the mood and more importantly, the emotion of this modern classic. Working closely with DC (who else?) my original edits have been loving handcrafted using the highest quality available source material to create a single, continous and completely seamless 57 minute mix of music from the film.
*** PLEASE NOTE that there is NO NEW material here, everything is taken solely from "Blade Runner (29th Anniversary Limited Edition)" released in 2011 by DC Music/Pendor.
The end result? Well, I find it to be thoughtful, uplifting and somewhat moving as the musical themes evoke the imagery of the film. The futuristic soundscape moves seamlessly from the busy Los Angeles Streets, to Deckard’s meeting with Rachael, through Zhora’s (sad) retirement to Roy’s enigmatic rooftop monologue.
With ‘The Sentient Mix’ I have tried to create a subtlely different dimension to the music so that there is something new for Blade Runner fans old and new alike – I hope you like it as much as I do.
At this point I would like to express my gratitude to: –
a) everyone involved in the ’29th Anniversary Limited Edition’
b) all of the contributors to the various FFShrine Vangelis & Blade Runner threads
and finally,
c) DC for his invaluable input, assisatnce and encouragement

Thanks Relayerx9 for the Christmas CD, Blade Runner – The Sentient Mix (2014). I downloaded it today and had the opportunity to listen to it. Vangelis is unique and Blade Runner is one of those pieces of music that seems to be just as unique as the man who created it. Vangelis is on record as saying he can feel the music in the cosmos. I wonder?

I think very much that he probably can …
… to tell the truth it came in a message in a bottle. The person responsible for the original cuesheet was probably under some sort of spell when it was made… Too many things at the same time… (as usual)… I almost pity him… 🙁
Though he has long quitted playing the occasional Pac-man games… and the drinking… and the smoking too… he might still have had something left from the old habits… oh well… 🙂
The way it was got Pendor literally coming back from the depths of the sea to see for it and send the proper one in a "sirop de sucre de canne" empty bottle! 😉
C’mon! It is just 41 pages and less than a hundred links you will have to read and check. 🙂
I’d start from the last pages where links might still work and then back to the first pages where all links should be dead by now. If there’s anything you don’t particularly like then you can bin it.
I would say you might be as happy as you might ever get with the 29th Anniversary or EMS Recombination as a matter of fact. I see also that The Sentien Mix is not bad to listen to for example. Make up your mind anyway. 🙂

I guess that is somewhat more pleasant than the original posts "Repost of all FLACs please!" but still leaves a lot to desire…

Hehe, I thought this was never posted before.
I had it on an old long forgotten CD-R from around 2002. Most of the other stuff there was posted here before. Maybe there is an (incomplete?) Gongo Cover I can offer too.

As a matter of fact someone achieved the very same goal… only turning it more extended in the making… and ending up adding everything (almost everything of course) Blade Runner related.
If you were happy with the detailed vision of the Spider’s two disc set perhaps you might be a bit disappointed by the overwhelming amount of extra information about the soundtrack that the makers tried to fit into a mere four disc set.
Or you might double-like it perhaps! Let us know! 🙂
"The Blade Runner 20th Anniversary Edition, out in 2002 and most likely not by the same person responsible for the original Blade Runner Off World Edition as stated on the cd, was a mixture of the Off World Edition bootleg and the official 1994 edition of the soundtrack without taking into account the huge difference in quality between the sources. On The 29th Anniversary all that could be done was done to even out the differences even if the makers would not count on "near perfect" quality for this 29th Anniversary version.
At least same quality of the official 25th Anniversary sources and "almost perfect but not quite" quality for the rest of the unreleased cues on the Off World edition, Soundtrack Outtakes and front and rear audio channels leaked from the speeded up (compared to the original NTSC) PAL movie DVDs in some cases. This is meant to be a private release related to everything Blade Runner to celebrate its 29th anniversary and is not licensed for public sale. All rights of the producer and of the owner of the work reproduced reserved. This is a fan-work and not for profit. All copyrights belong to their respective owners. No copyright infringement intended. Not for sale: do not support eBay piracy. It was available for members of a private forum owing the official releases of the soundtrack but sadly missing what was so laboriously included in these companion discs."
I have at some point downloaded the 29th Anniversary Edition… don’t know if it’s the 2nd edition of it though. Anyone that do know how to tell what version you have? And what are the differences?
There are some differences. Some cues were "deprived" of unnecessary tiny clicks, but that won’t count as a difference to 99% of happy customers who never noticed a single click.
The main difference is on the cue "Rain… Peals Of Thunder… And Sounds Of A November Night".
The original 2011 version has the second edit of this track.
The second edition has the original edit. An eye to the 2019 L.A. approaching from a spinner.
Oh… I am reminded from the other half of the 29th Anniversary Team that "Blade Runner (End Titles) [Full Length Version]" got a better eq treatment! (http://forums.ffshrine.org/f92/do-androids-dream-lossless-audio-files-blade-75274/42.html#post3035621) 😉
The original archive has the 2011 time-stamp (http://scifi.dead-donkey.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=5080)while the 2nd edition has the 2012 time-stamp on the archive. (http://misterekis.blogspot.fr/2014/05/vangelis-blade-runner-29th-anniversary.html) Also the tagging was greatly improved on the 2nd edition.
Sonically they are the same except for the aforementioned cues.
If you are on Win right click on any FLAC file and see the properties. It is all in there as it was originally meant.

Further tampering of the original release (and not by the original makers) and updating sources for some tracks lead to the Esper MK2 Edition in 2003 and the Esper Definitive Collectors Edition (a.k.a. Esper MR3 Edition) in 2005.
The MR3 was what hit the eBay trend to which the Esper ‘Retirement’ Edition (25th Anniversary Culmination) was the final culmination in 2009.
I would advice to get the proper versions of a couple of Esper releases courtesy of Pendor. (http://misterekis.blogspot.fr/)
I will see for the original release by the Esper Team since that seems to have fallen out of fashion after the Retirement Edition.
The 2001 Deck Art version was meant as a better and more complete version (extended might be the better word here) of the very limited M???moires Vol. 7 release turned into the Blade Runner Special Edition by Deck Music in 1998… but again for a proper version you might want to check the joint venture with Pendor. (http://misterekis.blogspot.fr/)
I will see for the original american Off-World Music version and the Gongo european releases. The difference between both will be minimal though (only a couple of different cues between both releases) or you might have asked for the Nexus Vol. 3 version that has all the needed cues that were available back in 1993 when the first original bootleg was conceived before the official 1994 version was eventually "let out" by the composer. 🙂

I don’t need a version of the main theme done by a farting tuba band from Albania while Ridley Scott quotes the poetry of Winnie the Pooh.
There are some differences. Some cues were "deprived" of unnecessary tiny clicks, but that won’t count as a difference to 99% of happy customers who never noticed a single click.
The main difference is on the cue "Rain… Peals Of Thunder… And Sounds Of A November Night".
The original 2011 version has the second edit of this track.
The second edition has the original edit. An eye to the 2019 L.A. approaching from a spinner.
The original archive has the 2011 time-stamp (http://scifi.dead-donkey.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=5080) while the 2nd edition has the 2012 time-stamp on the archive (http://misterekis.blogspot.fr/2014/05/vangelis-blade-runner-29th-anniversary.html). Also the tagging was greatly improved on the 2nd edition.
Sonically they are the same except for the aforementioned cue.
If you are on Win right click on any FLAC file and see the properties. It is all in there as it was originally meant.

…and there is a 3rd Edition (℗ 2012).
I don’t need a version of the main theme done by a farting tuba band from Albania while Ridley Scott quotes the poetry of Winnie the Pooh.
Hmmm, strange, downloaded fine for me, though if you’re downloading anything from Mega, remember the site is designed to work with Chrome and may not work with other browsers, And wait till you see the "Download using Browser" option and click on that. Mega’s "improved" (muddled up) it’s download options recently.
Of the Esper editions, all you really need are the first two disks. The rest of the material seems for completists only. I like the Esper editions well enough but the Ape format means that they’re in one continuous track per disk, meaning that you’ll have to edit in track numbers if you want to go to your favourite cuts. And I don’t think the sound seems quite as nice as the 29th anniversary edition. So far, the first 2 1/2 disks of the 29th are my very favourite Blade Runner.
I don’t need a version of the main theme done by a farting tuba band from Albania while Ridley Scott quotes the poetry of Winnie the Pooh.
If you wanted to follow the sequence of events as shown on the film there were already a pletora of releases… and all very good… including the Spider’ s cut. But there was no need to get trapped in the same trend all over again… or better: there was a need to do something different compared to every other good release so far. The stupid stuff you were referring to was either composed for the movie (but not used) or newly composed approaching the thematic of the movie after 25 years. The commercials used for the movie were part of it. Not everybody cup of tea I understand, but in there because they were part of the movie in a way.
As for the tuba I think you were referring to the New American Orchestra orchestral adaptation of the music composed for the movie… but it is not in there. No farting tuba on any of the four discs as far as I can recall. 🙂
What’s new is this 3rd Edition?…
Hi JacKc!
Nothing too interesting, just some details + an alternate track (not too interesting).
At some time will be shared (years… and/or perhaps when "Original" & "2nd" fall -offline-).
Until then and… greetings to all!
Thanks for the reply and the info about The 3rd Edition.
Nevermind if it will take years… To know that you are working on a third edition of this awesome "29th Anniversary Limited Edition" is really a good news for me.
Best, JacKc.

All the FLAC versions above are partly the basis of everything that came before the 2007 dvd edition of the movie who graced all the Vangelis fans with exhaustive glimpses into the music buried in the rear channels. Now for the first time, here on these forums at least, the full artwork of the 1993 first bootleg is here presented thanks to a kind peer we will be referring to as ENM23. 🙂
Somehow a whole week devoted to tracking down the original rips of what was largely bootlegged after the initial copies made the rounds of the net is my personal thank you to the guy.
All the info needed were still where I always have liked to know where to find, but I was able to track ‘now’ only thanks to the info provided on the booklet. A belated thank you to the admin at 2019: Off-World. (http://scribble.com/uwi/br/)
Basically the archives above all consist of original rips of the first generation of lossless copies shared on the net. Originally shared in APE format they were newly encoded in FLAC and the logs were simply updated via a virtual drive to check against the modern accurate rip database and TOC of the extracted CD typical of the latest builds of both CueRipper and EAC. If you are into that you will know what I mean. If not… feel free to ask the hell out of what I shall explain if you are prepared to the technical side of the matter. 🙂
Original logs also included anyway.
Back to business. The 1993 version was somehow the most difficult to get. The original rips, posted also here at some point, were all from a defective cd. They had plenty of clicks due to ageing (and the first batch of cd’r did not age that well) and that lead us to quite a few fixes. The 20th Anniversary and the Gongo were digitally presenting both the very same cues so that was a piece of cake really. Eventually we obtained a genuine rip from an original copy from someone at the very top over at the Yahoo Blade Runner Soundtrack group. Made in US and bootlegged as Gongo Edition in Europe shortly after. It preceded the official 1994 edition and, as the legend goes, this bootleg incident forced someone at Atlantic to take an official view on the soundtrack after the 1982’s New American Orchestra… farting tubas renditions… as someone put it. 🙂
Of the Gongo version several pressing were made. Some were bootlegs of the original bootleg and perhaps also the different makers lost count of what they were pushing to needy collectors around the globe.
Some copies might have ended up on the Off-World colonies most likely… That is the only release I was able to glimpse in boxes full of copies of it. And that happened twice… and in different countries… and you could clearly tell they were different.
I was offered it for a price not so high considering how they are selling now, but I never got round to made up my mind on buying them at the time. Also because unsure of which was which. Most likely second bootleg pressing of the original 1995 bootleg.
Out of the various pressing of the Gongo release the rip here presented is the very first one as uploaded by ogvh5150 on ShareReactor. Not many here can recall where the whole p2p file sharing originated. That was one of those places.
If you tried to get a copy in Romania second hand market… they won’t even know what you were talking about. You could find plenty outside the presumed manufacturing place though.
The Deck Art edition comes from the very first copy shared on the the p2p network by cheefroberts. Some of the most interesting stuff there still brings the name of this anonymous peer.
I know lots of people are still convinced that this release comes from Japan, but as a matter of fact the copies floating in Japan were European import.
People who had an original copy were happy with the rip here presented, so we might assume that the rip was fine.
Oh, by the way. The track titles are made up to reflect what is going on in the movie during the music… It does not have any titles as it is.
The Esper Edition is what started all that came after. The mysterious duo behind the Esper Team moniker got it right after the initial wave of bootlegs you could only buy in selected shops and via known collectors channels.
Unfortunately that meant also the starting of the shift in market shares of everything rare with the Blade Runner tag thanks to places like eBay where the control of who’s ripping who is less effective when everybody is happy and the cash keep flowing.
The log for disc one states that some tracks could not be verified as accurate, but the version here presented being a copy of the original 10 copies (if not one of them) means that the people submitted the copies that came after. Either eBay versions either something else. This is the very first rip of it shared by Krok over at BladeZone I believe. Also the admins over at BladeZone (and Yahoo Blade runner Soundtrack Group) should get our warmest thank you for being there. It was ‘in’ there that most of what came after the Esper (included) originated.
It would have been nice to have all gathered in one place, but that was hardly possible. What was gathered all over the places instead ended up being summarized here incidentally… and the topic starters have all my appreciation of course. JacKc in primis. 😉
All the best scans of the original artworks were included in the archives. That took ‘extremely’ more than a couple of nights going through 800 Mb’s plus of scans. And that reminded me why I put the The Complete Cover Collection archive project on hold. It takes time. This time was only for four releases, though the most difficult to deal with perhaps. Eventually all the needed artworks shrinked to around 100 Mb’s of scans including also the alternate replicated versions gathered around the web. JacKc, Pendor, Synaptyx, the admin at Hoho.cz and all the unknown scanner owners gets all the credit for the job done… Bravo everybody! 🙂
We might expect an update on the alternate artworks after ENM23 contribution perhaps… so keep your collection vault open! 😉
Have missed this too long.
I too have never seen or heard any "farting tuba" at all as a matter of fact! Correction "officially" approved! 😉
I noticed today when going through my Blade Runner score archive that I was missing some tracks from the Esper Retirement Edition (Flac).
Could you or one of the other fine gentlemen in this thread please zip/rar the following tracks and upload them for me…please.
Disc 2
16 – Deckard Enters The Bradbury
17 – Dangerous Days
18 – Wounded Animals
19 – Tears In Rain (Time To Die edit)
20 – Rachel Sleeps
21 – End Titles (Full length version)
Thank you, Zoran
I take the former…
If you can .sfv the content of your folder (checksums) and paste it on a PM I can see if anything else went missing also.

It’s the one without a DVD folder so I believe it’s the original, I remember disc 2 was in two parts and for some reason disc 2-B would not download so all I got was disc 1, 2-A, 3, 4, 5, Art. I would make you a .sfv file but my program keeps crashing on me.
If it keeps crashing then you should deep check immediately the HD sectors… keep your fingers crossed… and remembering your are a God-fearing fellow and will not be letting yourself into quoting all saints in the calendar while looking for anything harder as a brick wall to bang your head in case you are going to find a hidden folder called Lost.000 something on the HD in question… I will keep my fingers crossed for you and pray it is simply a software issue… while upping the missing files. 🙂
Let us know if you need further help in right clicking the corresponding links (see below if your screen is still attempting to deceive you anyway). 😉
Have a better one! 🙂
Also, is there a link for the 30th ann edition?
Thank you.
I just checked the post above yours and it is still working…
If you were meaning the post on the first page you are right I am afraid.
I still have to get back to mighty FulciLives with working links for some releases.
My fault sorry…
We will have to do that in due time.
Try JacKc’ s tip in the meantime! 😉
There is a LINK where you can download latest 29th Anniversary Edition (2nd Edition) (http://misterekis.blogspot.fr/2014/05/vangelis-blade-runner-29th-anniversary.html) version 🙂
EDIT: Sorry! Got the numbers wrong!
Try rutracker (http://rutracker.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4132368) or any other torrent site.
Good luck! 🙂
Thank you.
It is in my list of things to do next… but it is going to take a while.
If you bear with us it will be re-posted here at some point. 🙂
Christmas is a time for sharing so here is something special for all you Blade Runner fans. Over the last few months I have been working on a continous mix which capturea the mood and more importantly, the emotion of this modern classic. Working closely with DC (who else?) my original edits have been loving handcrafted using the highest quality available source material to create a single, continous and completely seamless 57 minute mix of music from the film.
*** PLEASE NOTE that there is NO NEW material here, everything is taken solely from "Blade Runner (29th Anniversary Limited Edition)" released in 2011 by DC Music/Pendor.
The end result? Well, I find it to be thoughtful, uplifting and somewhat moving as the musical themes evoke the imagery of the film. The futuristic soundscape moves seamlessly from the busy Los Angeles Streets, to Deckard’s meeting with Rachael, through Zhora’s (sad) retirement to Roy’s enigmatic rooftop monologue.
With ‘The Sentient Mix’ I have tried to create a subtlely different dimension to the music so that there is something new for Blade Runner fans old and new alike – I hope you like it as much as I do.
At this point I would like to express my gratitude to: –
a) everyone involved in the ’29th Anniversary Limited Edition’
b) all of the contributors to the various FFShrine Vangelis & Blade Runner threads
and finally,
c) DC for his invaluable input, assisatnce and encouragement
Thank you all for your inspiration.
So, ladies and gentleman, I give you: –

WOW!
I’d forgotten all the fabulous music that sprang from Blade Runner.
This music is mind blowing to hear all over again. I’m having eargasms of audio delight!!
The good news is that these links are still functional.
Get yours now or forever kick yourself over missed opportunities!
Better yet, give me a call and I’ll come over and kick you. Gratis! 🙂
:neg:
I put together another mix, you may have heard some of this material before here and there, and if sound fx and dialogue is not you bag then this might not be the mix for you. Personally I love the mix like this. In some cases I added my own sound FX to allow me to add different music cues to well known scenes. This took many months work. So this is not just a recording of the movies music cues. The majority of music tracks were 16 bit Flac files. I haven’t got around to art work yet, please share comment and enjoy.

Hmmmm two valid questions, I guess one has to go through all 9,000,000 for an answer. 😉
It never got a (satisfactory) official release, and pretty much ever since the movie came out people have been assembling bootlegs of various quality and contents.
You should check them all and see which gets closer to what you would have expected!
I’d say to start from here: Thread 72496

That’s a pitty, but thx for the reply… I’ll try and get a full back cover together with the old back part and the new ps creations that look alike.
I’ve been obsessed with track "Mesa" from Blade Runner 2049. So I decided to make my own extended version.
However, I’m not a professional and I did that on my notebook via Audacity, so you may find some mistake. There is also version on youtube already, but that’s not mine.
PM me for the link
The composer decided to release the music as you can buy officially in shops. Someone else tried every possible way to make it as close as possible to the reason you are currently wondering about.
Go figure that out!

Enjoy it 😉
Here is a link to my extended version of the Blade Runner Ultra Edition. There are a few extra tracks and some augmentation to the originals. The tracks were kindly split up by gmxfcks (many thanks) and are in FLAC format, I do have it in MP3 form too. I created new artwork from scratch and I hope you enjoy the listening experience. Feel free to leave feedback or suggestions.

Hmmm … no idea what I’m doing wrong here, but all I get from these latest mega links is a folder listing, and nothing I’ve tried will download the files. Can anyone make sense of what’s happening, please?
Many thanks.

Really? So u haven’t been able to download my mix? I can’t see any problem at my end. 🙁
All is well. I waited a while and had another go, and everything worked this time. I did nothing different this time, so perhaps it was a temp bandwidth issue somewhere along the link.
Again: thanks !!

Probably 29’th anniversary edition (2nd version)
But there are so many versions out there…
You’re welcome! 🙂

Here’s rip of vinyl original version 😉 by mr_merrick.
Let’s give him thumb up 😉
Merry Christmass 😉
It took two years, but with tremendous help and guidance from DC and Calidoran, without whom I could not have done this, we now have the first ever reconstruction of the complete Blade Runner score as it appears in the film, using bootlegs, official versions, and (most importantly) rear channels from the 5.1 mixes of the international DVD releases. There’s a good bit here that’s never been available without dialogue and sound effects, and some things have never been available at all. Long-existing pitch/speed issues have been fixed for a number of the cues, as well as proper edits and titles corresponding to scenes in the movie.

Tears In Rain
Rachael Sleeps (Unveiled Twinkling Space)
End Titles (Final Cut)
There are a few small instances of dialogue and sound effects bleeding through, but they aren’t really obtrusive. Almost all of this is JUST the music.
Among the highlights:
– Prologue and Main titles music is accurate
– the sequence from Blue Room/Flight to Tyrell Corp/Deckard Meets Rachael/Rachael’s Voight-Kampf Test is complete for the first time anywhere
– Pris Meets JF Sebastian with the overlay of Ogi No Mato as it appears in the film
– The Love Theme with the first piano part as it appears in the film (I’m really proud of this one)
– the cues for Baty and Deckard’s duel are accurate for the first time anywhere
– the crossfade from Rachael Sleeps to the End Titles has been reconstructed to match the film
I will also be releasing a BONUS DISC of full length tracks which appear in edited form within the film. That will come later, though.
Here is the link to download the lossless files plus artwork:
Doesn’t this deserve an extra thread?

Donnor, thanks for that list, I had no idea about this. Looks like I may have to go back and address the track titles (though I think I prefer some of mine to what’s here).
As for pitch issues, I’ve matched everything to the pitch/speeds of The Final Cut. I also adjusted Dangerous Days and part of Wounded Animals to match the film. Please do post what you find, and your comparison sources, if you don’t mind. I use the measurements of cents and semitones, if we could keep to that for consistency.
I haven’t had time to compare to the 1982 cut to see if the pitches are different, but eventually I should do that. I suspect there will be more adjustments as other people have a chance to listen and give their feedback, so at some point this will get a revision, but not anytime soon. Work on this project during the last couple of months has burned me out and I need a bit of a break!
I’m not near my computer with the Audacity program at the moment, but when I do, I will follow up with the semitones. For now, I can post the percentages that match with the Final Cut’s speed:
I Owe You One aka "Would You Come After Me": -4%
Roy Meets Sebastian aka "Morning at the Bradbury": -4.7%
Love Theme: -4%
Unveiled Twinklling Space: -5.6%
It took two years, but with tremendous help and guidance from DC and Calidoran, without whom I could not have done this, we now have the first ever reconstruction of the complete Blade Runner score as it appears in the film, using bootlegs, official versions, and (most importantly) rear channels from the 5.1 mixes of the international DVD releases.

There are a few small instances of dialogue and sound effects bleeding through, but they aren’t really obtrusive. Almost all of this is JUST the music.
Among the highlights:
– Prologue and Main titles music is accurate
– the sequence from Blue Room/Flight to Tyrell Corp/Deckard Meets Rachael/Rachael’s Voight-Kampf Test is complete for the first time anywhere
– Pris Meets JF Sebastian with the overlay of Ogi No Mato as it appears in the film
– The Love Theme with the first piano part as it appears in the film (I’m really proud of this one)
– the cues for Baty and Deckard’s duel are accurate for the first time anywhere
– the crossfade from Rachael Sleeps to the End Titles has been reconstructed to match the film
I will also be releasing a BONUS DISC of full length tracks which appear in edited form within the film. That will come later, though.

Thanks so much for this SlvrHmrm, great job!

I’m not near my computer with the Audacity program at the moment, but when I do, I will follow up with the semitones. For now, I can post the percentages that match with the Final Cut’s speed:
I Owe You One aka "Would You Come After Me": -4%
Roy Meets Sebastian aka "Morning at the Bradbury": -4.7%
Love Theme: -4%
Unveiled Twinklling Space: -5.6%
On the Final Cut somehow the pitch is "slightly" different compared to the original 1982 domestic cut.
Plus you have to account for the fact that the music was produced at european frame rates thus resulting faster on the NTSC final masters.
That’s why Vangelis original masters as published on Trilogy differ from what you are hearing in the movie.
I have only worried when we worked with the PAL speeded up versions of the audio streams.
I gave up on the NTSC because of the impossibility of the task.
I grew up used to what I am hearing on Blade Runner releases as a result.
"Unveiled Twinklling Space" might not be that far -5.6% stretched (DO MIND THAT I AM USING THE WORD "STRETCHED" AS OPPOSED TO "PITCHED").
If you try to mix it along with End Titles you will find that the chords in the crossfade will simply clash because of the pitch differences. That’s why it was probably time stretched (because if you pitch a bit of audio it will run at the same duration—if you time stretch it it will run longer or shorted accordingly and will sound "pitched" as a result of the process—I TRUST YOU MAKERS GOT THE MESSAGE—).
Also there seem to be a chord of Love Theme or a trace of the temp cue used for the workprint left in between the crossfading of what we know as "Unveiled Twinklling Space" and "End Titles" with the bloomin’ lift bang in between. 🙂
That’s not an easy crossfade to replicate… SHM did quite a good bit of thinking on that (a few cents will have made it even better "pitched" but that is neglectable).
Hats off to the maker anyway! 😉
2 years, that is a long time. I think everyone appreciates it!
I have one question, not sure if that one was already answered…
You said you used various sources, for example the 5.1 DVD audiomix. DVD means the audio is lossy.
Is there any chance that you would create a ‘lossless’ version based on the Buray Dolby Atmos 7.1 audiostream ?
Not now, of course. 😉
It took two years, but with tremendous help and guidance from DC and Calidoran, without whom I could not have done this, we now have the first ever reconstruction of the complete Blade Runner score as it appears in the film, using bootlegs, official versions, and (most importantly) rear channels from the 5.1 mixes of the international DVD releases. There’s a good bit here that’s never been available without dialogue and sound effects, and some things have never been available at all. Long-existing pitch/speed issues have been fixed for a number of the cues, as well as proper edits and titles corresponding to scenes in the movie.

HUGE thanks for this! 😀
You said you used various sources, for example the 5.1 DVD audiomix. DVD means the audio is lossy.
Is there any chance that you would create a ‘lossless’ version based on the Bluray Dolby Atmos 7.1 audiostream ?
The result will not change much because of the limitation of the original "video" source.
The analog tape masters used to produce what you hear in the movie were recorded to store informations that will benefit from a Dolby Atmos encode perhaps.
Once the original informations went lost in the video editing you cannot get them back.
The TrueHD transfer of the movie sounds good. Better than the DVD and the BluRay… but will a mp3 decoded to wav sound better than the original?
We are not going to gain much from the upscale in audio world.
Sorry, SlvrHmrm! I just realized that the "speed" function in Audacity doesn’t calculate changes in semitones or cents, only the "pitch" function does. But at least for "Rachel and Deckard Meet", I discerned that it was 19 semitones too low in the Final Cut compared to the archival versions
Since what was used in the film was simply speed up or down I would stick to the speed function because semitones will always vary of few frequencies up or down for exact comparisons.
Analog tape changes in semitones according to speed. And semitones are floating in between as a result.
CS80 was not famous for keeping semitones and Vangelis did play by hearing and not on a standard scale sometimes.

CS80 was not famous for keeping semitones and Vangelis did play by hearing and not on a standard scale sometimes.
Because of this discussion, I may have to go back and compare pitch/speed on some of these tracks, but my method was to measure identifiable sections in the wav files and compare them to one another. Sound Forge uses semitones and cents, and allows me more precision when comparing these measurement. I then adjusted tracks to match the pitch/speed of the film. Since all of this was recorded on analog tape, there will be minor fluctuations in playback from version to version, meaning that I could never get tracks to sync up perfectly from beginning to end, but that was more an editing issue for me than anything that should register to the listener.
If the resulting audio after the editing is resulting longer or shorter you did the right thing. If it simply pitched up or down and the duration stayed the same you might worry a bit about the method… But I’ll leave that kind of worries to the guys who will eventually release the original Vangelis masters or the ones prepared for the movie. If someone made a point to add some more cues to the BMI catalogue… there must be a reason for them not to bother to do that before perhaps!
As a rule of thumb pitching alters the frequency content quite drastically while time stretching does the same job but in a different way. Less drastically. 🙂
If the duration of the audio clip changes as a result of the pitching you are fine. If not… well. You did what you had to do and you did pretty good. 😉

Oh the length changes with the pitch. Preserving the duration would be missing the point! 🙂

Hi dadadacicici,
I too was looking for EMS recombination in Flac format, however the link here seems to be 320kps mp3.
JT
I will send you soon by PM a link to download the EMS recombination in flac format. Stay tuned.
On a side note working on a some alternative artworks covers for the 35th anniversary edition. Needs approval from the author and DC before posting them 😉

Oh great thanks, i’m much obliged!
JT
Then you did your homework right and you might not need to go back at it anytime soon! 😉
I’m looking for a more permanent home while I do some revisions to correct some minor errors. Stay tuned!

Oh my… Somehow the size made me assume it was the lossless version while is indeed a CBR MP3 version.
Anyway we will be re-posting the 2011′ EMS DEFINITIVE EDITION with the long overdue fixes on a couple of cues I finally managed to go through to really make it FINAL. 🙂
Stay tuned on these pages in ten days time! Promise! 😉
Or streaming:
Is the artist name START or DSCOVR???
On the mp3 is tagged as DSCOVR while on the Soundcload and Facebook pages redirects to START.
I am a bit confused there…
Oh my… Now I am starting feeling the more guilty to have given terryscifi a couple of coasters back with the EMS… and since we’re going to post the version where everything is NOW fixed on Saturday with terryscifi coming back… again sorry for the coasters and welcome back! 😉
In some cases you don’t, which reinforces the idea of the score being an extension of the sound design. Vangelis used a good bit of found sounds in the score, just to complicate things further.
It took two years, but with tremendous help and guidance from DC and Calidoran, without whom I could not have done this, we now have the first ever reconstruction of the complete Blade Runner score as it appears in the film, using bootlegs, official versions, and (most importantly) rear channels from the 5.1 mixes of the international DVD releases.

Reissue/Repack/Proper :
It was kindly pointed out that "I Am the Business" on Disc 2 had a pitch change where the two different sources faded into each other.
The problem was in mixing a PAL source into a NTSC source which audio runs at a different speed. Now fixed.
Also "Off World Blimp Advert" on Disc 3 has now the correct CD resolution. Better tagging all along.
SORRY, BUT NOT SORRY TO ALL EBAY BUYERS THAT WILL NOW END UP WITH A COASTER.
2011 started with the release of Blade Runner: EMS Recombination; a team effort to create a Blade Runner soundtrack as clean as possible, without F/X and dialogue for fans to enjoy. On its release the soundtrack was well received, spawning numerous other compilations. However the work didn’t stop there.
For the lossless release, the EMS Team wanted to offer something a little different and not just repackage the original version. Changes were made to the running order and tracks were reworked as other sources were found.
Extended versions of "At Mr. Chew’s" and "Desolation Path" were created along with new tracks "Waiting For Zhora" and "Memories Of Green/Blade Runner Blues". With the help of some new friends, the EMS Team are proud to present for the first time a clean version of "Thinking Of Rachel".
Blade Runner EMS Recombination is an own attempt to create a ???Best of??? soundtrack from all the available bootlegs of Vangelis??? superb score.
The selection criteria was very simple: find the pieces that represented the film score in their cleanest (without dialogue and sfx as much as was possible) versions and be of the best available sound quality. It kept most of the titles of the source tracks only changing a few as some had some obscure titles not immediately obvious to the wider audience.
I hope you enjoy listening as much as I did while making this compilation.

"Chidori no Kyoku" on the japanese tracks bonus disc has now the correct speed.
Better tagging all along.
SORRY, BUT NOT SORRY TO ALL EBAY BUYERS THAT WILL NOW END UP WITH A COASTER.
Some of the tracks presented here are essentially (re)assemblages of elements buried in the official view/mix of the movie, enhanced for the listener with soundtrack, audio effects and narration to place the cues in their cinematic context; the flute music and percussion piece being an extreme example of this more cinematic approach to the soundtrack. The rest of the tracks were remixed from the original audio streams to add extra aural details on the japanese cues. There might be some debate as to whether some of this is part of Vangelis’ original compositions for the movie, or just someone else’s creation. A couple of cues were finally uncovered and included here, thanks to the input of 1187hunterwasser and Kazushi Kimura of the Blade Runner fan network. The rest are part of an ongoing search, which one day may come to a conclusion and expand the Blade Runner soundtrack catalogue further.
One of the aspects of the multicultural melting pot portrayed in Blade Runner was the influence of far eastern culture in the daily life of 2019 Los Angeles. From the Chinese food vendors of the White Dragon noodle bar, through the Cambodian sales lady on Animoid Row, right up to the Shimata Dominguez Corporation sponsorship of the off world colonies. Pervading all of this was the music of the far east, whether blaring out from an animated billboard or drifting down from on high from the ever present advertising blimp. Of the pieces played, ???Ogi No mato??? is the most widely known among the fans, in a mainly truncated version. There were other pieces played and not always as conspicuous. Last year when one of the tracks was identified through the fan network as ???Chidori no Kyoku???, the EMS team members began a search of various sources to identify which version of this track was used.
The most likely candidate was a performance by Michio Miyagi. The second step was to review the film and find when the music was played. The track in an excerpted form turned up in the background music playing during the scene with Deckard waiting for a seat at the White Dragon. Layered with other music including ???Ogi No Mato???, identifying whether the Miyagi version was the correct one came down to a blind audio test between B5hm, who noted where the excerpt in the film corresponded exactly to the part of the Miyagi track, and DC. When DC independently identified the same part, they both concluded apart from a slight alteration in pitch, this was the correct version. DC began the time consuming process of transferring the track from vinyl to digital media and cleaning the track up, removing over 14,000 audio defects to present the track in its fullest and cleanest version here.
The search still goes on for the alternate blimp track heard as it passes over the Bradbury and during the scene as Deckard hangs from the side of the Bradbury. B5hm???s Japanese source could only identify two words ???hito me??? literally translates as ???person???s eye???….
The EMS Team present here cues taken from the different versions of Blade Runner including previously unreleased flute music and percussion piece.
These pieces were heard in the background during the sushi bar sequence and are presented here for the first time.
EMS RECOMBINATION INTERWEBZ CASE (https://www.discogs.com/Vangelis-Blade-Runner-EMS-Recombination-Definitive-Edition/release/3141347)
The peculiar case of a zealous archivist nicknamed HMVH. A true tale of passion, dedication, commitment, vision, ambition and great determination.
Do Discogs really need revisionists like Herr HMVH?
No ifs, ands, or buts!
What is the true object of his mighty quest?
Go ask him, though you might find that a pretty "forged" answer.
What are Herr HMVH’s authentic motives?
We are not permitted to know… though there is massive amount of evidence about the EMS Recombination all over the world wide web… it does not exist outside Herr HMVH’ own golden globe.
But let the Hollywood hero speak for himself: "Owner of a voting statue since 08-02-2007 when the badge was worn with pride.
Disruptor. Mediator. Advocatus diaboli. The blizzard of ‘ogs. Ridin’ shotgun on the Bulk Removal Machine???. I fix things and remove shit."
"I am a collector because I collect a particular kind of ‘release’. I am a hoarder because I amass many ‘releases’ before I get around to ”processing” them.
I am an archivist because I make selective backups as well as disseminate and publish facts and data which future generations might find useful.
"I???ve been a member of discogs.com for a full decade.
"It has become as much a part of my daily online regimen as checking my email or Twitter feed. No other site has grabbed my attention in the way that Discogs has, nor has any other online resource infuriated me in the same manner.
"Discogs is as fascinating as it is frustrating.
"Last night I made my 1000th contribution to the Discogs database.
"It???s a landmark achievement. One thousand new audio entries!
"It???s also baffling why it took almost 12 years to get to this stage."
But we must again let our hero speak for himself. No other mind can so accurately set forth his varied excellencies. Planned denial assertion was: "As stated numerous times about, this is just a random fanboy collection of rips and random filez from the interwebz, complete with artwork to burn your own CDRs with. Not eligible, removal long overdue, sorry.
"Blade Runner??? as artist? Really?

Big shout to Contrabandista J. and his 100% positive feedback. Based in Spain, he has been an eBuy member since Mar 31, 2005
Not bad when you are marketing "random fanboy collection of rips and random filez from the interwebz, complete with artwork to burn your own CDRs with". How would our hero account for that?
Really? Fine, whatever.
We cannot thank him enough for the denial of the very evidence that this random fanboy collection of rips and filez from the interwebz is still making the rounds outside his own archives and to keep on disseminating and publishing facts and data which future generations will find really useful.
Some people might perhaps be smarter or better at seeing things that simply remain "clouded" for the majority, but that kind of superhero behavior does not acknowledge for that. File it under ethical hacking if you need to.
When something is not ready-there-at-all someone will always have a go at it. There was nothing we were ashamed of when the project was born. But of course Herr HMVH will need a fact to acknowledge that. Any unofficial release turns into official only when one bids for it. That is a fact all right! Innit?
But the serious sellers keep the world go round (and round) while their preferred best-selling-platform collects its fix on that.
What’s so bad about making a living after all?
We know you guys shop here and resell there, but again we just wish you all the best in your easy cashing out from dumb-to-to-bone collectors alike.
Ha! The ones who got the limited batch of pressed copies will get a 2 disc replacements free of charge of course.
You know who you are. And you also know how to get in touch of course.
Oh, and there’s still our beloved serial seller still making the rounds after all these years!!
Hey Disney B. how’s it hanging old chap?
Still going strong on eBuy out of what you’ve been downloading here and on Yahoo?
You old rascal!

And he is not the only one. There is a whole lobby of honest scammers making quick bucks of other people’s efforts out there.
God of biomechanics bless such fine and long running respected businessmans!
At least Discogs took a stand against piracy: "This release has been blocked from sale in the marketplace. It is not permitted to sell this item on Discogs"
And guess what happened next? They all happily migrated on eBuy which dropped their fees to a minimum. Of course…
Anyway… Never mind the preposterous unfortunate eBuy side effects.
With our utmost pleasure here we present to you the EMS Recombination as we’d all like to be passed on to future generations and shared back to all peers of good will!
Enjoy! The EMS Team
When I was asked to join this project I was astounded by what B5 was wanting to achieve with his first compilation. I already knew Jack for his excellent graphic skills after having stumbled on FFS during the usual searches for my preferred soundtrack. I was working on a partial restoration of the sources on tape and once we got to exchange some different opinions on what we both wanted to achieve, Jack kindly offered to free me from the task of making the covers (I don???t have all the time in the world to learn everything I???m afraid) leaving me more time to concentrate on the audio. It will have to be thanks to him that at an idle stage of our interest for the Blade Runner matter all his covers will stay on our homemade cd cases. (I’m afraid we cannot all be the limited number of lucky collectors that afforded the originals…) and Jack???s work on that along with Synaptyx, Pendor and the rest is something to praise. B5 was exceptionally good in planning the overall plot to which me and Jack added the extra details. He is also good at what he writes actually. That was where he took his nickname if you can keep the secret!
Something that has been lying right there in front of everybody. Someone had surely picked up a best of every-other-bootleg around, like 1187hunterwasser did on page 3 of the The Blade Runner Soundtracks Ultimate Thread in compiling a list that went to be the inspiration for a release called ???29th Anniversary??? that will be eventually posted on Final Fantasy Shrine Forums. Also Donnor has done a great job in isolating the unreleased tracks on his BLADE RUNNER MUSIC blog that ended up becoming the inspiration for the maker of the ???2019 Edition???. Something very similar to the EMS called ???Chinatown Club??? (a compilation contemporary to it) ended up being re-shaped in its concept according to what was done on the EMS 2010.
The EMS cleverly used the best of the best sources around at the initial stage of compiling. The ???Chinatown Club??? had something different though. A more cinematic feel perhaps. At least I saw that as the difference I wanted to make to the maker’s original concept (a nice peer named Zelmo Swift) when I was asked to help with the edits on that. Hopefully it sits in a different direction now. I believe the main credit of the EMS project is to have seen through the different sources and the work of others to shape a perfect sounding version of the soundtrack and somehow that was achieved in the concept that B5 has given to the release.
As B5 has pointed out: ???The selection criteria was very simple: find the pieces that represented the film score in their cleanest (without dialogue and sfx as much as was possible) versions and be of the best available sound quality. It kept most of the titles of the source tracks only changing a few as some had some obscure titles not immediately obvious to the wider audience.???
When we finally id’ed one of the japanese sources (thanks to the help of Kazushi Kimura of the Blade Runner fan network and also thanks to the input of 1187hunterwasser and Donnor) the idea of a the bonus disc was developed giving the release that more cinematic approach that I was furthering in the making of a release called ???Blade Runner – Ultimate MR3???. We went a bit lost at this stage since we had to actually create something that was not immediately there this time. B5 was busy balancing EMS duties with his real life job and I was feeling lost from the sudden passing of my hardware. It took more to shape the bonus disc than the rest of it in a way.
I found myself working at four different projects at the same time, messing things up among these and losing track of the notes and edits done for each one. All the suggestions made on the Yahoo soundtrack group were taken verbatim and for that I have to thank Chandler from the Grey Fedora team. Vicente and Sebastian work was taken into great account too, as the work by Anthony Micele on some of the edits we borrowed his ideas. The list goes on up to the Esper makers and the Shimato Dominguez Corporation for the Off World edition. All the different versions were analyzed and all waveforms compared to check for anything quirk. I had already started doing this for some work on the master tapes I did some short time before. In the making I ended up re-doing the whole Esper releases and being able to fix most of the faulty tracks on some releases thanks to the FIC sources that were used for the M???moires series and Asian Worlds releases. Once you know the sources the rest is editing and sequencing. And there are only three. The movie audio streams (the FIC source being the stereo mix of the dubs), the master tapes (the outtakes being the fully mastered cues) and the official 1994 and 2007 releases. The sources that did not comply with the correct pitch posed a major problem, and most of the people that worked on Blade Runner material know of the +4% curse of most of the music in order to be used for the movie. There is something called time stretching when working on different analogue audio sources and those algorithms take up hours when working on large portions of audio but that was accomplished when doing something else while patiently waiting for the output. I would grow mad and I would curse when realizing a silly mistake in the elements for the calculations… but that is the way when working on anything… trial and error until it gets closer to what you are expecting. B5 and Jack have a word for that… but as pointed out… no one is perfect… that’s why pencils have erasers. Two computers passed away without warning and in between that a couple of hard disk drives said goodbye without a second call… or at least I couldn’t listen… Somehow I was able to retrieve most of the data I needed for the projects I was working on and ended up buying also an external 250 GB HD to make sense of all of this, but everything about the making of things went messed up and cannot tell which is which or how I got to that stage even if the final results are sitting here waiting to find the right time to make an useful sense of it. Presets used now are something for the FBI computer experts only to try to make a sense out of it. After the EMS 2010 was out a limited set of copies were traded and shared and thanks to that we were able to add some extra sources we only had in a poor quality until that day, so I ended up re-editing them with better quality sources tweaking the hell out of them to make sense in making sitting them in the same disc. You tell if I got it right or not, but that was the best I could get out of what we had. If Vangelis will step up on earth again after gazing for a last time at us from mount Olympus he will make sense of everything we did wiping everything else out with a snap of a finger like lightning! Until that that was the best we could achieve. Lots of editing went on between what B5 visualised as the finished concept for it and what I was apparently seeing.
I was simply making an extension to what I was working to at the time (the Ultimate MR3) and in hindsight B5 was right. Jack ended to be the inspiration for lots of the added material with his ideas and somehow was caught in between since we all had our ideas for that and did not want to waste one either… so it took all the time it took us to finish off the last details since May 2011 when almost everything was ready for the first 3 discs.
What was not yet available was done, what had to be made better was done along what was already made by Vicente, Chandler, Plimmy, Sebastian, Jamie, Antas, Zyzz and so on. If you can’t beat them try to sound like them. Disc 1 to 3 is the same music you have been always hoping for in a way. The bonus disc is a different angle of the japanese cues used in the movie. And for different angle I mean it.
The original sources were remixed so to enhance some of the aspects buried in the official view of the movie.
Some of the original 1992 version was eventually retained since the new 2007 version has been changing things in a drastic way (and not always as satisfactory way). Also the workprint version was used as you might hear.
The list of the sources (most likely used) is including all the infos that you might need (if you please), but as responsible for most of the edits most tracks were quite re-enhanced and re-worked, denoised and changed compared to the original sources, that I now lost track of what was done. A final note must go along the Spiderwalk’s ???Blade Runner Complete Score??? sources since while working on all the sources gathered I found myself in stepping back to the original sources used by the maker (25th anniversary edition) to achieve longer or different fades. B5 got them from there anyway. It remains another best of sources matter of fact. Props to the maker. Same goes for ???Blade Runner – The Final Mix??? by Plimmy. The sources are here anyway. Lots of work has been done on ???Thinking of Rachel??? alone. When B5 mentioned the idea of something clean anyone would have never expected the version we came up with in the end. I had already made an edit for the ???Chinatown Club??? but those distracting elements from the movie (which I did not mind at all) were still there even if the idea of a cleaner version with Morrisey saxophone was one of B5???s wishes for the EMS from day one. I pretty hate denoisers since the very first time I used an analogue one in a recording studio, but Anita and Zyzz pretty changed my view seeing what they did. Anita is the maker of ???The Tales Of The Future??? release and Zyzz is the maker of the ???Blade Runner 2011 Restored/Remastered Edition???. What you hear is a combined edit of the various tries by the people involved in the restoration process. Everything was then pasted by the frame and ready to be mastered for the EMS release. The master track was achieved from more than 4 GB’s of data anyway and no way I could possibly re-do that. That was like the Director???s cut in a way… trial and errors until it got to that stage. The cleaning up of the Myagi song was a bit of a nightmare since it was a transfer from a very old vinyl and once you get rid of the defects of your original the defects of the original source used comes forward… Basically the original master was a vinyl transfer itself… I???m hoping a good master for it will be made available one day. It should be part of human patrimony… I wish Columbia might do that one day. As for me it took a whole month to fix a single song.
My original plan to restore all the vinyl became impossible because of time restrictions. If no one else does it, I would like to do that before I retire… For the Flute track and the Percussion track there was a lot of work also.
We had a preview of the isolated audio streams taken from the movie from Zyzz (whose work is to keep an eye on by the way) and I came up with the idea of layering a different mix the original elements partly removed from it to put back the spatial reference to the movie so to get the background music coming through as you would have never listened to because it was simply buried in the mix. Zyzz eventually decided not to include that cue on his release since he had chosen not to compromise on sound quality for his 2011 edition and B5 was gladly accepting that as a contribution while me and Jack tried to get the best of both worlds in doing what we ended up to use for the bonus disc. I hope we pleased everyone on that. We had our discussions and we chose to compromise on lots of things, but as time was passing by we had the chance to realize what was being done and naturally came to the solutions for our different ideas in the end. And I am glad we did. It was team work up to the last bit. Time helped a lot, giving us the time to focus on the smaller details in order to achieve what you now are holding. Longer unedited versions are floating around but will be used for the ???Ultimate MR3??? along with the other reworks that did not make it on the official tracklist… I am not going to mention the box of shame we deserved for the artworks… Only when everyone was done with the audio testing we kept spotting errors that kept on returning after having been fixed once and re-appeared after changing things all over again. Jack had plenty of patience in re-touching everything readily. He gets all the credit for the best dress the EMS could hope for and useful suggestions he made all along.
And those are the words I have for these two wonderful chaps! It was nice having you guys as partners in crime really!
Best Regards, DC

It took two years, but with tremendous help and guidance from DC and Calidoran, without whom I could not have done this, we now have the first ever reconstruction of the complete Blade Runner score as it appears in the film, using bootlegs, official versions, and (most importantly) rear channels from the 5.1 mixes of the international DVD releases. There’s a good bit here that’s never been available without dialogue and sound effects, and some things have never been available at all. Long-existing pitch/speed issues have been fixed for a number of the cues, as well as proper edits and titles corresponding to scenes in the movie.

– Pris Meets JF Sebastian with the overlay of Ogi No Mato as it appears in the film
– The Love Theme with the first piano part as it appears in the film (I’m really proud of this one)
– the cues for Baty and Deckard’s duel are accurate for the first time anywhere
– the crossfade from Rachael Sleeps to the End Titles has been reconstructed to match the film
I will also be releasing a BONUS DISC of full length tracks which appear in edited form within the film. That will come later, though.
Here is the link to download the lossless files plus artwork:
I missed this one. Since I have very little space in my computer, I just saved this link on JDownloader so that I could download it later, I just checked but the link is dead. Could someone kindly re-upload this one?
DC, you have nothing to apologise for. I am in awe of what you and the other soundsmiths do for our listening pleasure. I can only pray to the Lord Tyrell that my hearing holds out to enjoy all these aural delights. Thank you for the updated EMS!
Now I rarely burn a cd and stream the music (possibly lossless) via a DAC to the amplifier and the speakers.
I am glad we are still around after all this time! 😉

Reissue/Repack/Proper :
It was kindly pointed out that "I Am the Business" on Disc 2 had a pitch change where the two different sources faded into each other.
The problem was in mixing a PAL source into a NTSC source which audio runs at a different speed. Now fixed.
Also "Off World Blimp Advert" on Disc 3 has now the correct CD resolution. Better tagging all along.
SORRY, BUT NOT SORRY TO ALL EBAY BUYERS THAT WILL NOW END UP WITH A COASTER.

EMS RECOMBINATION INTERWEBZ CASE (https://www.discogs.com/Vangelis-Blade-Runner-EMS-Recombination-Definitive-Edition/release/3141347)
The peculiar case of a zealous archivist nicknamed HMVH. A true tale of passion, dedication, commitment, vision, ambition and great determination.
Do Discogs really need revisionists like Herr HMVH?
No ifs, ands, or buts!
What is the true object of his mighty quest?
Go ask him, though you might find that a pretty "forged" answer.
What are Herr HMVH’s authentic motives?
We are not permitted to know… though there is massive amount of evidence about the EMS Recombination all over the world wide web… it does not exist outside Herr HMVH’ own golden globe.
But let the Hollywood hero speak for himself: "Owner of a voting statue since 08-02-2007 when the badge was worn with pride.
Disruptor. Mediator. Advocatus diaboli. The blizzard of ‘ogs. Ridin’ shotgun on the Bulk Removal Machine™. I fix things and remove shit."
"I am a collector because I collect a particular kind of ‘release’. I am a hoarder because I amass many ‘releases’ before I get around to ”processing” them.
I am an archivist because I make selective backups as well as disseminate and publish facts and data which future generations might find useful.
"I’ve been a member of discogs.com for a full decade.
"It has become as much a part of my daily online regimen as checking my email or Twitter feed. No other site has grabbed my attention in the way that Discogs has, nor has any other online resource infuriated me in the same manner.
"Discogs is as fascinating as it is frustrating.
"Last night I made my 1000th contribution to the Discogs database.
"It’s a landmark achievement. One thousand new audio entries!
"It’s also baffling why it took almost 12 years to get to this stage."
But we must again let our hero speak for himself. No other mind can so accurately set forth his varied excellencies. Planned denial assertion was: "As stated numerous times about, this is just a random fanboy collection of rips and random filez from the interwebz, complete with artwork to burn your own CDRs with. Not eligible, removal long overdue, sorry.
"Blade Runner™ as artist? Really?
The majority vote was in favor of removing this release."
REALLY. PERIOD. GET A BETTER ONE. NO OFFENCE TAKEN. NO OFFENCE MEANT.
WE DO NOT PITY DISCOGS. WE PITY YOUR REVISIONISM, AND, ABOVE ALL THE LOBBYING ELITE LIKE YOU ACTING IN PACK MODE.

We cannot thank him enough for the denial of the very evidence that this random fanboy collection of rips and filez from the interwebz is still making the rounds outside his own archives and to keep on disseminating and publishing facts and data which future generations will find really useful.
Some people might perhaps be smarter or better at seeing things that simply remain "clouded" for the majority, but that kind of superhero behavior does not acknowledge for that. File it under ethical hacking if you need to.
When something is not ready-there-at-all someone will always have a go at it. There was nothing we were ashamed of when the project was born. But of course Herr HMVH will need a fact to acknowledge that. Any unofficial release turns into official only when one bids for it. That is a fact all right! Innit?
But the serious sellers keep the world go round (and round) while their preferred best-selling-platform collects its fix on that.
What’s so bad about making a living after all?
We know you guys shop here and resell there, but again we just wish you all the best in your easy cashing out from dumb-to-to-bone collectors alike.
Ha! The ones who got the limited batch of pressed copies will get a 2 disc replacements free of charge of course.
You know who you are. And you also know how to get in touch of course.
Oh, and there’s still our beloved serial seller still making the rounds after all these years!!
Hey Disney B. how’s it hanging old chap?
Still going strong on eBuy out of what you’ve been downloading here and on Yahoo?
You old rascal!
Based in United States, he has been an eBuy member since 02 Jun, 1999. 100% positive feedback as expected from such a serious happy seller.
$65.00 on 15 May, 2017, $102.50 on 16 Jun, 2017, $65.00 03 Jul, 2017, $105.49 on 16 Jul, 2017, $84.00 on 30 Jul, 2017, $67.00 on 08 Nov, 2017, $84.00 on 23 Oct, 2017, $105.50 on 10 Oct, 2017, $60.00 during past year…
$76.00, $60.00, $66.00, $60.00, $70.00, $65.00, $65.00, $109.50, $60.00, $150.00, $110.50, $107.50, $125.00, $127.50, $100.00, $203.50, $185.00, $100.00, $160.00, $162.50, $107.50 more than a year ago…
And he is not the only one. There is a whole lobby of honest scammers making quick bucks of other people’s efforts out there.
God of biomechanics bless such fine and long running respected businessmans!
At least Discogs took a stand against piracy: "This release has been blocked from sale in the marketplace. It is not permitted to sell this item on Discogs"
And guess what happened next? They all happily migrated on eBuy which dropped their fees to a minimum. Of course…
Anyway… Never mind the preposterous unfortunate eBuy side effects.
With our utmost pleasure here we present to you the EMS Recombination as we’d all like to be passed on to future generations and shared back to all peers of good will!
Enjoy! The EMS Team
When I was asked to join this project I was astounded by what B5 was wanting to achieve with his first compilation. I already knew Jack for his excellent graphic skills after having stumbled on FFS during the usual searches for my preferred soundtrack. I was working on a partial restoration of the sources on tape and once we got to exchange some different opinions on what we both wanted to achieve, Jack kindly offered to free me from the task of making the covers (I don’t have all the time in the world to learn everything I’m afraid) leaving me more time to concentrate on the audio. It will have to be thanks to him that at an idle stage of our interest for the Blade Runner matter all his covers will stay on our homemade cd cases. (I’m afraid we cannot all be the limited number of lucky collectors that afforded the originals…) and Jack’s work on that along with Synaptyx, Pendor and the rest is something to praise. B5 was exceptionally good in planning the overall plot to which me and Jack added the extra details. He is also good at what he writes actually. That was where he took his nickname if you can keep the secret!
Something that has been lying right there in front of everybody. Someone had surely picked up a best of every-other-bootleg around, like 1187hunterwasser did on page 3 of the The Blade Runner Soundtracks Ultimate Thread in compiling a list that went to be the inspiration for a release called “29th Anniversary” that will be eventually posted on Final Fantasy Shrine Forums. Also Donnor has done a great job in isolating the unreleased tracks on his BLADE RUNNER MUSIC blog that ended up becoming the inspiration for the maker of the “2019 Edition”. Something very similar to the EMS called “Chinatown Club” (a compilation contemporary to it) ended up being re-shaped in its concept according to what was done on the EMS 2010.
The EMS cleverly used the best of the best sources around at the initial stage of compiling. The “Chinatown Club” had something different though. A more cinematic feel perhaps. At least I saw that as the difference I wanted to make to the maker’s original concept (a nice peer named Zelmo Swift) when I was asked to help with the edits on that. Hopefully it sits in a different direction now. I believe the main credit of the EMS project is to have seen through the different sources and the work of others to shape a perfect sounding version of the soundtrack and somehow that was achieved in the concept that B5 has given to the release.
As B5 has pointed out: “The selection criteria was very simple: find the pieces that represented the film score in their cleanest (without dialogue and sfx as much as was possible) versions and be of the best available sound quality. It kept most of the titles of the source tracks only changing a few as some had some obscure titles not immediately obvious to the wider audience.”
When we finally id’ed one of the japanese sources (thanks to the help of Kazushi Kimura of the Blade Runner fan network and also thanks to the input of 1187hunterwasser and Donnor) the idea of a the bonus disc was developed giving the release that more cinematic approach that I was furthering in the making of a release called “Blade Runner – Ultimate MR3”. We went a bit lost at this stage since we had to actually create something that was not immediately there this time. B5 was busy balancing EMS duties with his real life job and I was feeling lost from the sudden passing of my hardware. It took more to shape the bonus disc than the rest of it in a way.
I found myself working at four different projects at the same time, messing things up among these and losing track of the notes and edits done for each one. All the suggestions made on the Yahoo soundtrack group were taken verbatim and for that I have to thank Chandler from the Grey Fedora team. Vicente and Sebastian work was taken into great account too, as the work by Anthony Micele on some of the edits we borrowed his ideas. The list goes on up to the Esper makers and the Shimato Dominguez Corporation for the Off World edition. All the different versions were analyzed and all waveforms compared to check for anything quirk. I had already started doing this for some work on the master tapes I did some short time before. In the making I ended up re-doing the whole Esper releases and being able to fix most of the faulty tracks on some releases thanks to the FIC sources that were used for the M???moires series and Asian Worlds releases. Once you know the sources the rest is editing and sequencing. And there are only three. The movie audio streams (the FIC source being the stereo mix of the dubs), the master tapes (the outtakes being the fully mastered cues) and the official 1994 and 2007 releases. The sources that did not comply with the correct pitch posed a major problem, and most of the people that worked on Blade Runner material know of the +4% curse of most of the music in order to be used for the movie. There is something called time stretching when working on different analogue audio sources and those algorithms take up hours when working on large portions of audio but that was accomplished when doing something else while patiently waiting for the output. I would grow mad and I would curse when realizing a silly mistake in the elements for the calculations… but that is the way when working on anything… trial and error until it gets closer to what you are expecting. B5 and Jack have a word for that… but as pointed out… no one is perfect… that’s why pencils have erasers. Two computers passed away without warning and in between that a couple of hard disk drives said goodbye without a second call… or at least I couldn’t listen… Somehow I was able to retrieve most of the data I needed for the projects I was working on and ended up buying also an external 250 GB HD to make sense of all of this, but everything about the making of things went messed up and cannot tell which is which or how I got to that stage even if the final results are sitting here waiting to find the right time to make an useful sense of it. Presets used now are something for the FBI computer experts only to try to make a sense out of it. After the EMS 2010 was out a limited set of copies were traded and shared and thanks to that we were able to add some extra sources we only had in a poor quality until that day, so I ended up re-editing them with better quality sources tweaking the hell out of them to make sense in making sitting them in the same disc. You tell if I got it right or not, but that was the best I could get out of what we had. If Vangelis will step up on earth again after gazing for a last time at us from mount Olympus he will make sense of everything we did wiping everything else out with a snap of a finger like lightning! Until that that was the best we could achieve. Lots of editing went on between what B5 visualised as the finished concept for it and what I was apparently seeing.
I was simply making an extension to what I was working to at the time (the Ultimate MR3) and in hindsight B5 was right. Jack ended to be the inspiration for lots of the added material with his ideas and somehow was caught in between since we all had our ideas for that and did not want to waste one either… so it took all the time it took us to finish off the last details since May 2011 when almost everything was ready for the first 3 discs.
What was not yet available was done, what had to be made better was done along what was already made by Vicente, Chandler, Plimmy, Sebastian, Jamie, Antas, Zyzz and so on. If you can’t beat them try to sound like them. Disc 1 to 3 is the same music you have been always hoping for in a way. The bonus disc is a different angle of the japanese cues used in the movie. And for different angle I mean it.
The original sources were remixed so to enhance some of the aspects buried in the official view of the movie.
Some of the original 1992 version was eventually retained since the new 2007 version has been changing things in a drastic way (and not always as satisfactory way). Also the workprint version was used as you might hear.
The list of the sources (most likely used) is including all the infos that you might need (if you please), but as responsible for most of the edits most tracks were quite re-enhanced and re-worked, denoised and changed compared to the original sources, that I now lost track of what was done. A final note must go along the Spiderwalk’s “Blade Runner Complete Score” sources since while working on all the sources gathered I found myself in stepping back to the original sources used by the maker (25th anniversary edition) to achieve longer or different fades. B5 got them from there anyway. It remains another best of sources matter of fact. Props to the maker. Same goes for “Blade Runner – The Final Mix” by Plimmy. The sources are here anyway. Lots of work has been done on “Thinking of Rachel” alone. When B5 mentioned the idea of something clean anyone would have never expected the version we came up with in the end. I had already made an edit for the “Chinatown Club” but those distracting elements from the movie (which I did not mind at all) were still there even if the idea of a cleaner version with Morrisey saxophone was one of B5’s wishes for the EMS from day one. I pretty hate denoisers since the very first time I used an analogue one in a recording studio, but Anita and Zyzz pretty changed my view seeing what they did. Anita is the maker of “The Tales Of The Future” release and Zyzz is the maker of the “Blade Runner 2011 Restored/Remastered Edition”. What you hear is a combined edit of the various tries by the people involved in the restoration process. Everything was then pasted by the frame and ready to be mastered for the EMS release. The master track was achieved from more than 4 GB’s of data anyway and no way I could possibly re-do that. That was like the Director’s cut in a way… trial and errors until it got to that stage. The cleaning up of the Myagi song was a bit of a nightmare since it was a transfer from a very old vinyl and once you get rid of the defects of your original the defects of the original source used comes forward… Basically the original master was a vinyl transfer itself… I’m hoping a good master for it will be made available one day. It should be part of human patrimony… I wish Columbia might do that one day. As for me it took a whole month to fix a single song.
My original plan to restore all the vinyl became impossible because of time restrictions. If no one else does it, I would like to do that before I retire… For the Flute track and the Percussion track there was a lot of work also.
We had a preview of the isolated audio streams taken from the movie from Zyzz (whose work is to keep an eye on by the way) and I came up with the idea of layering a different mix the original elements partly removed from it to put back the spatial reference to the movie so to get the background music coming through as you would have never listened to because it was simply buried in the mix. Zyzz eventually decided not to include that cue on his release since he had chosen not to compromise on sound quality for his 2011 edition and B5 was gladly accepting that as a contribution while me and Jack tried to get the best of both worlds in doing what we ended up to use for the bonus disc. I hope we pleased everyone on that. We had our discussions and we chose to compromise on lots of things, but as time was passing by we had the chance to realize what was being done and naturally came to the solutions for our different ideas in the end. And I am glad we did. It was team work up to the last bit. Time helped a lot, giving us the time to focus on the smaller details in order to achieve what you now are holding. Longer unedited versions are floating around but will be used for the “Ultimate MR3” along with the other reworks that did not make it on the official tracklist… I am not going to mention the box of shame we deserved for the artworks… Only when everyone was done with the audio testing we kept spotting errors that kept on returning after having been fixed once and re-appeared after changing things all over again. Jack had plenty of patience in re-touching everything readily. He gets all the credit for the best dress the EMS could hope for and useful suggestions he made all along.
And those are the words I have for these two wonderful chaps! It was nice having you guys as partners in crime really!
Best Regards, DC
Nota Bene :
The usual few words need to be added before going lossless. We would like to remind that you should not make profit off what it is not your own. Please do respect honest peers’ work. The reason to be of this release is for a better archival purpose only. It is not meant for private sale and not intended for purely selfish trading. Be responsible in giving back what you had for free.
Consider sharing back what was shared of old if you care. We are only left with what we share eventually. The more accurately (read properly) the better for the peers-to-be. Needless to remind to decompress to WAV first (preferred).
Cue sheet with CD-Text info is included (suggested). Multiple WAV Files With Gaps (Noncompliant) if you know your tools. Burn at 4x speed (always) with no pause between tracks otherwise. Or stream your music through your old-school speakers via laptop/PC with a decent digital-to-analog converter box instead.
Fixed at last!!! Thanks!!! 😉
Working on the last two track improvements/corrections this weekend. I am also fixing some errors in the artwork (I kept spelling Batty as "Baty" because of my association with the novel, which spells it the latter way). I’ll be including my essay on the score as well. Coming soon, I promise!
Nice!
Thanks!
Much better than the official release imo.
Much better than the official release imo.
Which one is which?
Even if I got it wrong both versions (35th Anniversary and EMS Definitive) come with attached artworks… I am a bit confused here…
Out of the unknown past and into an unknown future. Welcome to 2049.
This samples the Blade Runner 2049 album, providing an alternate experience..

Nowadays I tend to stream music via a DAC rather than picking up every single cd in my collection. A front goes nicely along with it usually. 🙂
I have some DAC’s by the likes of Metric Halo and Sound Devices, but my main listening setup has a better and bigger sound and it’s CD’s or high sample rates for that 😉
Here is a "Score Restore" video I created for a sequence where most of the music was dialed out and replaced with other cues, including an insert that we still don’t have. The timing is pretty consistent throughout, except for the bathroom confrontation between Deckard and Batty. My guess is that it was re-cut without affecting the pace of the music (somehow), hence why the filmmakers tracked in a portion of "I’m Hungry, J.F." (real title unknown) to cover up the gap
I checked these tracks against the Final Cut and you are correct, my tracks are off by about a half step in pitch. I’m not certain, but I speculate that I was referencing some of the rear channels from different international versions and those cues were a different pitch/speed. I had assumed every release had the same pitch for all the cues but I must have been wrong. Whatever the case, I’m fixing these for the 2.0 release, as well as a few other additions and corrections.
So you have two different setups for listening and streaming I take. Why not making it into one?
I plugged my DAC into the main listening setup bypassing completely the need for a cd player and using foobar and a laptop instead.
I don’t need streaming.
I have some DAC’s in my pro recording setup and mix in both stereo and 5.1, custom speakers etc.
My listening room is a 9.1 setup with the main speakers flat to 20Hz and the sub taking over bellow that if necessary, flat to 14Hz.
When I’m working I want a good sound and when I’m listening or watching movies I’m the quality of the sound is important.
Anyway… back to the thread subject…
Kind regards.
Hi All,
Here is a link to my extended version of the Blade Runner Ultra Edition. There are a few extra tracks and some augmentation to the originals. The tracks were kindly split up by gmxfcks (many thanks) and are in FLAC format, I do have it in MP3 form too. I created new artwork from scratch and I hope you enjoy the listening experience. Feel free to leave feedback or suggestions.
Regards
JT
Kind regards.
Hello luvjoi
My extended Ultra Edition weighs in at 1 hour 20 mins 2 sec, (80Mins) and the max time on a CD is 74mins. You could split the album after track 11 "Blade Runner Blues" at 45.18 and burn CD 2 from the beginning of track 12 "On the Esper." I had not considered the extra length impacting on burning to CDs at the time I extended the album, I even have another completed track I left off the extended version. I suppose I could see about a total fade out after "Blade Runner Blues" and a clean opening for "On The Esper" Just as the Elevator voice kicks in. I might have to knock heads with gmxfcks who split the tracks for me originally and see if there’s is an easy way to do that. (I know little of such track splitting voodoo) I could, in theory create a 2 CD version in the download folder.
It took two years, but with tremendous help and guidance from DC and Calidoran, without whom I could not have done this, we now have the first ever reconstruction of the complete Blade Runner score as it appears in the film, using bootlegs, official versions, and (most importantly) rear channels from the 5.1 mixes of the international DVD releases. There’s a good bit here that’s never been available without dialogue and sound effects, and some things have never been available at all. Long-existing pitch/speed issues have been fixed for a number of the cues, as well as proper edits and titles corresponding to scenes in the movie.

I was wondering does ur car cd player insert gaps into the Ultra Edition between tracks?
Here u go friend,
I have split the album into 2 CDs at about the halfway point, also I have faded in/out each track so the CD player won’t change track so abruptly. Plus I added an extra bonus track on the end of CD 2. Enjoy 😉
Yep! It was also here and on a couple of separate threads as well. 🙂
Thanks anyway!

Thank you Jethrotull, much appreciated. Will let you know about the gaps. There were no gaps on the original shorter version when I played on a portable CD player but have not played in car yet.
Kind regards,
Terry

Ur welcome, I had been assuming most CD players can’t handle gapless playback and would just put in a 3 second gap between tracks. This of course not being conducive to an album where each track is intended to fade into the other. So when I went about breaking the album into to parts, I took the opportunity to fade each track out to silence.
The initial hardware might have encountered some "clicking" problems.
Only problem I ever had was on the Apple G4 at the turn of the century and on some CDPlayers back in 1997… but that pieces of ancient hardware are long gone and forgotten I am hoping! 🙂

Well then it seems I needn’t have re-rendered the tracks to fade out to silence after all. hmmmm.
We got a bonus track in the bargain! So you get an extra thank you! 😉

End Titles (Final Cut)
There are a few small instances of dialogue and sound effects bleeding through, but they aren’t really obtrusive. Almost all of this is JUST the music.
Among the highlights:
– Prologue and Main titles music is accurate
– the sequence from Blue Room/Flight to Tyrell Corp/Deckard Meets Rachael/Rachael’s Voight-Kampf Test is complete for the first time anywhere
– Pris Meets JF Sebastian with the overlay of Ogi No Mato as it appears in the film
– The Love Theme with the first piano part as it appears in the film (I’m really proud of this one)
– the cues for Baty and Deckard’s duel are accurate for the first time anywhere
– the crossfade from Rachael Sleeps to the End Titles has been reconstructed to match the film
I will also be releasing a BONUS DISC of full length tracks which appear in edited form within the film. That will come later, though.
Here is the link to download the lossless files plus artwork:
Can someone please re-upload this mix that SlvrHmrm shared at the start of the year? I’d love to hear how it sounds.
To my knowledge Slvrhmrm is fine tuning and tweeking the tracks some more, so u can probably expect to see it released in all its glory soon.

As above. 🙂
And it is going to be a bit extended too… 😉

He definitely uploaded a version of it though and I’d love to hear it while waiting for the "upgraded" release.

Ultra Edition 3.0 16 Bit Flac
If you have not heard the Extended Ultra Edition that came before, there are several extra tracks and some augmentations to others in this even longer edition. I had done some ground work for these extra tracks before, but couldn???t make them work within the mix and so left them out, but now I am happy with how they turned out and decided to arrange them into this longer edition.
Ultra Edition 3.0 uses various Vanglis music from the 25th Anniversary edition, but also other Vangelis movie scores and utilizes many of the movie’s deleted scenes, narration and alternate cuts. There are one or two other artists too which I will outline in new liner notes soon.
First off I never intended to share this mix with anyone when I created it, because I made it for myself, and was sure no one else would like the way I mixed it. I thought that way mainly because many members of the ffshrine forum are constantly looking for the score exclusively without any FX. If people feel that way I can perfectly understand it. I never minded the voice over in the movie in its earlier incarnations for the most part, but I do prefer it now without. However in terms of this mix I really wanted to include some of it, as it really makes me feel like I???m there in the middle of the Blade Runner environment. I know the movie purists out there feel it unnecessary in the movie, and we all know its inclusion was to help 80???s audiences understand the story better as a result of bad test screenings. But I liked it because of the noir detective vibe it gave me. The voice over I used, while at times being a tad on the nose within the realm of the movie, to me, sounded appropriate in the context of the mix.
The project began over a year ago now and went through various changes and versions, I edited it mostly in Sony Vegas which, although a movie editor, gave me great flexibility using several timelines one above the other. Other audio processing/recording was done with Adobe Soundbooth & Audacity.
I would love to hear you comments or suggestions on the mix.
ENJOY!
Music from Vangelis, Frank Klepacki, Gail Laughton & Cosmic Baby

What the critics are saying:
"Finest quality. Superior workmanship." some snake expert
"You’ve done a man’s job" Gaff
"It isn’t fancy or anything." Leon
"This is a bad one, the worst yet." Captain Bryant
He also chose not to re-upload that version and I will have to comply with his reasons in doing so.
Having said so do feel free to send a PM to my inbox please. 🙂
PM’ed you, I think. My first PM on here, so I’m not entirely sure if it went through 🙂
Welcome hope you like it.
Yes. What OhOh7 said!
Only I’m using it as my own lame way of saying ‘Thank You.’ And please don’t go all American Psycho and kill me, Mr. Bateman 🙂

**edit: good move with using that track from a different Vangelis album (which I won’t spoil) – it fits so well!

many grateful thanks for sharing my friend
Thanks Will
Question, my "Fabled Creature" track, is that the same cue in your Future Noir post? "Deckards Dream" I got it from Silverhamer asked could I use it in my mix. I thought it was from the work print but is it from Antarctica Dvd? As per your 2014 thread?
PB
EMS would be a favourite of mine for sure. 😉
Yep! Nice to see you stopping by! 😉
Otherwise I was wondering if the soundtrack of the short "BLADE RUNNER 2049 – "2036: Nexus Dawn" is available somewhere ??

I love the theme at 1mn44 <3
Really pleased and happy to see you again 😉
EMS Recombination remains my favorite project i worked on !!!
Worked on over a three year period, this is my reconstruction of the Blade Runner score as it was used in the Final Cut, without dialogue or sound effects. At the end of 2017 I released a beta version of this project, titled the 35th Anniversary Edition. After more work to improve the edits, I present to you the final version, the 2019 Edition. This is every cue as heard in the movie, essentially an isolated score version of the film, including a number of cues that have been unavailable in complete or correct form.
I could not have accomplished this without generous help from DC and Calidoran, both of whom provided me with the raw material for much of this work. Especially useful were the surround channels from half a dozen international blu-ray releases of the film, from which I was able to extract music that hasn’t been available previously. DC also graciously offered to master the audio, to give it a little extra polish.
I also want to express my gratitude to everyone who made compilations of this music before me. Your work provided me with a guide, without which I would have been lost.
I started on this project out of curiosity and it slowly became an obsession, and along the way I believe I have corrected several errors featured on previous bootlegs. The cue typically referred to as "Roy Enters the Bradbury," for instance, actually corresponds to the scene "Show Me What You’re Made Of." The actual cue for "Roy Enters The Bradbury" is a reprise of "Pris Meets JF Sebastian" without the overlay of Ogi No Mato. The Japanese tracks, thanks to DC, are now correctly identified, and I’ve placed them where they appear in the film.
As a bonus, I’ve compiled two discs of full length, alternate and unused tracks.
Thanks to everyone for your patience. I know some of you have been waiting a long time for this project. I hope you enjoy it.

I am not sure if that was ever shared in lossless format… at least I could not find it in the backups… though it might pop up someplace on the newer backups. If you would kindly point us out to where you saw the post about the lossless I might head straight for the backup of that particular period. 🙂
I wish I could, but I haven’t seen any post that version in lossless before. I only saw the MP3 version on the first page of the original Blade Runner Soundtrack Ultimate Thread JacKc posted.
Thanks!
Thanks!
Yes, easy to find….. : Thread 221977
Thanks much!
If you could not see any post for it I’m afraid it wasn’t posted. Yet. But do keep your fingers crossed… Those floating point files I have found listed on a backup could be turned into something more red book complaint I! 🙂
