Blade Runner : The Complete Score (2019 Limited Edition) with download link

So as not to get lost in the BR soundtrack threads, I’ve made a dedicated thread for this. 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, and there’s a pdf of notes on the tracks where clarification is needed.

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.

Our own PBateman made a slideshow of each cue, which I’ve uploaded to youtube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLK-mW1a6fQ_tMGs13UXeO2f_QG8-ly80R

Thanks so much for all the endless efforts you put into this and thanks even more for sharing your obsession with us.

Cheers !

This , the EMS Recombination edition and the November 2011 edition are my favorite versions of this beautiful score.

Here is a cover I just made for the set, it’s what I’ll be using for it.

Tremendous thanks to YOU!

Holy fuck that’s awesome. Never seen that image before. I shall be using it. Thanks!

Whoa, holy shit that’s gorgeous!

Damask Rose doesn’t appear in the film. It’s one of those "inspired by" tracks that Vangelis released with his Blade Runner Trilogy set.

Thanks. Bummer cause it’s such an awesome piece. I had a feeling it wasn’t in the film. Still, that doesn’t take away from how awesome this set is!

Does someone has the complete tracks list of the Workprint version ?

It’s originally colored but very good version indeed, great job!

Back in the original 35th Anniversary Edition thread you mentioned including all your findings and sources in notes that’d accompany the set with an essay on the score and a cue by cue walk-through, are you still planning on doing this?

once again thank you for all your hard work on this set

I believe it was the Hungarian version that had the cleanest of those channels. I tried a number of ways to get rid of that but this was unfortunately the best I could do. If I’m ever able to improve on this, I will offer a patch for this track.

Excellent !!!
Thanks.

Do you mean the temp tracks that Terry Rawlings used at the end before Vangelis had scored the duel? I’ve managed to identify half of those library cues from other films, but I’m still looking for the others.

I’m working on that, yes. It’s become a rather long essay (about 30 pages so far) plus appendices. One appendix is the Q&A that Raine Hilson did on google groups in 2010, rearranged so that it reads more smoothly, like a proper interview. I haven’t edited the content, mind you, just the order so that it makes sense. Another section is an examination of the Workprint music, including identification of some of those library cues, and the differences between the Theatrical Cut and the Director’s Cut/Final Cut. And the cue-by-cue walk through as well as an overview of the score and Ridley Scott and Terry Rawlings’ roles in fitting it to the film. As with all my projects, it’s grown far beyond what I had originally planned! I’m considering selling it as a small e-book on Amazon.com for a low price, like $2.00, but I’m still thinking about that.

Thanks for this album.

Your hard work is greatly appreciated.

PM sent!

I have a text file that I need to revise. I’ll add it to the download link when it’s ready.

Great, I appreciate it. Thanks a lot.

Thanks for the time and care you put into this.

Yep. You can trust the guy. 😉

It’s us thanking you for your patience. We did enjoy it sir. Have a better one. 😉

Then i will have to ask you for the link. Since you removed it 😉

id love a link to the pdf

Thanks!

A couple of technical questions, if you are able to answer.

Were all of these tracks kept as lossless as possible, ie, no lossy compression intermediaries along the way to encoding the final FLACs?

In particular I see in the notes that tracks 9 and 13 on the bonus disc are sourced from LPs and "digitally declicked." What were your original sources for these tracks? .FLACs and / or lossless .wavs captured directly by you from the original LPs? Unknown? Lossy, or lossless? What program did you use to "declick"? Some quality loss is inevitable in "declicking." Is it possible for you to provide alternate *unprocessed* versons of these tracks — the raw 16-bit PCM captures instead?

Hi Billy Bob,

Every track was worked on using lossless files, and the material I pulled from Blu-ray was 24/48 downrezzed for final files to 16/44 (without dithering). Only track 9 was sourced from LP, a file that DC sent me, which is "out there," as they say. I used ClickRepair, which is the least intrusive program I’ve found for declicking vinyl — it allows you to listen to what’s being removed and adjust your settings accordingly. I always use a very low setting and manually removed some clicks in order to preserve the sound quality of the track. I up-rezzed the file so as not to lose any bits in the processing. I’d like to do a rip of that LP myself one day in hi-rez, but I haven’t found a copy yet. The CD, unfortunately, is poorly mastered and wasn’t suitable to use for this project.

Thanks very much for your detailed reply! It is obvious that you paid very close attention to collating all the tracks in the highest possible quality. My mind is at ease — this release is truly the new definitive BLADE RUNNER soundtrack release. It seems you’ve spared no fine detail or cut any corners in the technical department; for that I’m immensely grateful.

I shall have to try ClickRepair. The only time I fooled with "click repair" / declicking was YEARS ago with Youngglove’s Cool Edit script. The results were mediocre, and that was supposedly ‘the best" back in the day. So, I never messed with declicking after that, but if anything has changed for the better in the 10+-year interim, perhaps ClickRepair is worth a try and declicking is up for reassessment.

and for the bonus discs

Thanks a lot ! I’m trying to make something as good as your awesome Blade Runner Complete Score. Actually working and back tray inlays 😉

woot woot !!

Looking forward to this as well!

Here is the scene in question: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHepKd38pr0

Has anyone here heard the same track? I would be grateful if someone could help me find this track. It’s got a really great mood to it!

They were a longer cue originally, but they were split for the 25th Anniversary release.

Many thanks for this monster piece of work! Cheers!

I finally had a chance to listen to this and I am sad to report that I was very disappointed in this episode of the Art of the Score podcast. They usually nail it, but they here they make a number of errors based on faulty information that’s been circulating too long. I wish I’d sent them my reconstruction of the score before they did this. I could have helped steer them clear of some of the mistakes.

Cheers, Paul

Cheers, Paul

I think I shall! Maybe they’ll do a follow up episode. Usually they do two per score, and this one certainly deserves another!

Cheers, Paul

Not too bad… though it didn’t nail it right on some occasions as SH pointed out. There are things that only come out having to mess on a daily basic with the actual hardware… and that’s why those type of sounds are hard to be heard now… Thanks for pointing the episode to the forum! 😉

The musician did an admirable job attempting to recreate the opening theme, but I think they just needed more time to research. As you say, we’ve had years at this, so I have to give them some credit for even trying!

maybe i should continue to write here about "unknown japanese song"
i didn’t know this 3rd japanese song "hito-me song"
i listened the track,
yes exactly i can understand just only word "hitome"

this time, now i have no idea…
and this question will be my life-work! appreciate 🙂

"Hana no Tabi" !?

yes this song has "hitome" prase !

BUT,
i doubt this is it…
because before "hitome" word,
i don’t think the same melody and lyric
compare with this song and BR’s unkown track song

now i must check another (& maybe recorded before 1980)
"Hana no Tabi" tracks.

Ah this is very encouraging. Looking forward to what you find. I see what you mean in that clip, but perhaps another performance phrases things differently.

Now we’re talking. 🙂

"Chidori no Kyoku" "Ogi no Mato" and "Hana no Tabi"… so B5historyman might got it right on Chidori no Kyoku all along… but the bits about that discussion went lost with the previous thread unfortunately.

That they messed with japanese music we know too well… what they have been sampling and editing we don’t. We guessed right on some occasions though.

If that comes from the original editing done on the workprint the workflow might point us to the right directions.
And it could be that they simply used another obscure folk record to fill in the soundscapes.

Translation of "Hana no Tabi" could be "Every Flower"… but getting further info on that from this side of the ocean is a bit tricky… could you please point us to the review you were mentioning?

And I’m just wondering if 2049’s score will EVER get the same level of interest. In regards to Hans Zimmer… I very much doubt it. 😉

at first, this is the link that i found the title "Hana no Tabi"
this 2nd review. off course with language japanese…

https://www.amazon.co.jp/%E7%94%9F%E7%94%B0%E6%B5%81%E7%AE%8F%E6%9B%B2%E5%9 0%8D%E6%9B%B2%E9%9B%86-%E6%97%A5%E6%9C%AC%E3%81%AE%E9%9F%B3%E6%A5%BD%E3%8 3%BB%E6%A5%BD%E5%99%A8/dp/B00005F35H

and i have no ideas, who is this man, why he know this, and why he wrote this here…
this is the CD about traditional japanese KOTO music.

and "Hana no Tabi" （花の旅）means like "journey of flower"
i found almost nothing about this song with language english.
but only this (german?) page. track 5

i’ve read the notes of "THE COMPLETE SCORE 2019 EDIT"
(i love this soundtrack so much! simple and accurate.)

"Chidori no Kyoku" is apparently supervised by Vangelis at Nemo Studios.

i never know this! i was very surprised.
and yes the 3rd obscure track may or may not be the same…

and now,
i think 3rd song is NOT "Hana no Tabi"
Anyways the obscure track is tooooo short 🙁

Im not a huge Zimmer fan but im looking forward to seeing him in concert next week nonetheless. 😉

Then again, 2049 is pretty much a pointless movie. A wasted chance at its best (think Tron Legacy).

We do not know if "Chidori no Kyoku" was supervised by Vangelis.
Nor we know if "Hana no Tabi" was recorded with japanese musician at Nemo Studios.
We can only speculate on that.
The facts remain with the sound editors I’m afraid.

And thank you! 😉

Anyways the obscure track is tooooo short 🙁

This is a short excerpt of "Hana no Tabi (https://www.komuso.com/audio/16%20—%20Track%204.mp3)" as performed by The International Shakuhachi Society on the "Sokyoku Jiuta Taikei 16 (https://www.komuso.com/albums/albums.pl?album=1206&lang=6)" album on Victor – VICG 40125.

I think it might be it. Go and fetch that record now… not sure about the version on the cd… 🙁

They must have used some japanese folk music vinyl recorded before 1982 and available at the time… go guess… but at least we are on the right track. 🙂

I hope I’m 501! Just sent a PM.

Thank you again for your efforts.

Oh my. 🙁

In the opening of the sci-fi classic Blade Runner (1982), Rawlings receives a "supervising editor" credit. "I was the only editor, and the reason I had to have that [credit] was I wasn’t a member of the American union then," he
recalled (https://vimeo.com/45239409) in a 2012 interview.

"To work over in America was very difficult, because of union problems, and I had to work on the film in a little hotel place because I wasn’t allowed at Warner Bros. to cut it there."

The studio hired Marsha Nakashima as a cover, and she received an "editor" credit at the end of the movie.

Blade Runner is notorious for its multiple versions and changes requested by studio executives after the film underperformed upon its debut.

"When it was first taken to America, it was with no commentary, and it ended with them [Harrison Ford and Sean Young] going through the doors. And when we ran it over there, people were saying, ‘We don’t understand it.’ Nobody understood it to start with, it was so ahead of its time," explained Rawlings.

A solution was to introduce the now-famous Ford voiceover, and the film’s ending was changed to a happier, more upbeat finale using aerial footage shot from The Shining.

The voiceover was eventually removed in subsequent rereleases after a screening error in a Santa Monica cinema showed the original cut one night.

"I think it’s great when the door closes," Rawlings said. "You make up your own mind. They’re not going off holding hands in a car, which was dreadful."

can i have a link, thanks in advance 🙂

PLZ send me a link!!!! Thanks!!!!!!

Please guys, READ what the uploader asks you to do… Send a PM, it isn’t that hard.

lmao, Shriners are way too cool to read!

I think you misspelled that word. It’s not supposed to be ‘c’ at the beginning, it’s ‘f’ 😛

My mistake, I stand corrected 😉

Looking around on youtube I see examples of the instrument played in the traditional way with the small mallets, but not strummed as Vangelis would have done for Blade Runner. It does sound very similar, however.

You also cant receive pms, but 3 or 4 more post on your part will elevate you to the status of "onion kid" allowing two way pms.

You won’t be able to send or receive private messages untill you make a few more posts. This will then elevate your status to "onion kid" where you can then pm the owner of the thread for the link. Also, welcome!

Cheers, Paul

Link received, if no one has given this man rep. please do its the least we could do for all the hard work he has done, and sacrificed. Thank you again SlvrHmrm

There’s nothing better than the gift of music. Unless it’s more BR music. And origami unicorns. The sparkly kind.

I concur…amazing work! 😀

This , the EMS Recombination edition and the November 2011 edition are my favorite versions of this beautiful score.

ooh thanks! 🙂 *blush*
now I’ll have to check out this 2019 edition.

TNXXXXXX

You’re very welcome! I admire your effort, and I’m glad to see that it’s possible to track the link down that way.

Link please.

As stated in the first post, please send me a PM for the link. This goes for anyone else asking in the thread. I can’t keep up otherwise.

I’ll PM you as soon as I grow into an Onion Kid. Layered like BR. Grazie in advance.

I haven’t A/B’d it with other bootlegs, but I suspect what you’re hearing is that some of the other releases were taken from inferior sources. I used the Blu-Ray channels as much as I could for the best sound throughout.

Download the individual file here: https://mega.nz/#!3nYG2KbZ!yWf1BxnVkwhVWGgqvoiW7Sa-yR_29MRFADzLj5R_w5Q

Simply replace the track from the previous download. I’ve also replaced this in the Complete Score link. If you don’t have the rest of the tracks already, please message me for a download link.

Enjoy!

So I actually made an edit (https://www.mediafire.com/file/ofai8ul2ma4syrp/01._Main_Titles__Prologue__Los_Angeles_November_20 19.flac/file) addressing both of these points (with special thanks to Skelly (http://forums.ffshrine.org/member.php?u=638687) for adjusting the volume at the start), as I felt that area of the score could’ve been improved on. I can’t really say much else about the rest of the score, since the film presentation of the music is one I’m conflicted on as a whole. Am curious to know what you think of this peculiar issue.

Also, incredibly minor correction from an earlier post (that’s bothering me more than it should): Demask Rose is a track that is on the original OST, and not one of the ones that were made for the Trilogy set. Not sure where I’d gotten the impression that you said it was a fake track (might’ve been a discussion with DAK), but I felt like getting it off my chest anyway.

Anyway, regardless of what I might think of the presentation itself, you did a splendid job assembling it. Seeing as I hadn’t grabbed a particular BR set prior to this year (that I seriously listened to at least), I am happy to have had this as my first. Am anticipating the workprint set, though I do wonder how you’ll rearrange the extras section on the main set afterwards.

Hi, thanks for this. I’ll compare the versions and let you know what I find. It’s entirely possible I got mixed up somewhere along the line. There were a lot of elements to keep track of!

Regarding "Damask Rose," I’m not sure what I stated as to its original release but you’re correct: it’s on the first soundtrack. The larger point is that it’s not in the film, though it may have been composed for a scene and not used. I just don’t have any information on that.

With the Workprint version, the main set will stay the same since there isn’t much overlap. There are a lot of differences throughout even before you get to the third act with the temp cues.

Rep Given 🙂

Please PM me if you would like the link. Do send a PM to SlvrHmrm. 🙂

while listening to "THE COMPLETE SCORE (2019 EDITION)"

That feature should be activated for you now. You have to make a certain number of posts before that happens and i think you’ve passed that limit
