This is for the 29th Anniversary album. Does it have all the tracks from the 25th Anniversary album on it?

Hi RetroRusty,

Most of them (if not all of them) are included in the 29Th Anniversary release by Pendor/DC. I just can advise you to donwload it because it is actually the best "unofficial" Blade Runner soundtrack ever made !!!

@JacKc Okay thanks.

Sorry! I got it wrong! I'd say that link is gone... https://kickass.so/vangelis-blade-runner-trilogy-25th-anniversary-2007-flac-t2093759.html but from last time I seeded that it might be gone and I do not have access to the original files anymore... the emule search for it is still working anyway... slower but always there. :)
But as also Jack said: everything is there! ;)

That's okay dude. I will download the 29th Anniversary album as it has everything from the 25th Anniversary on it.

Thread 72496

Hello All,

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.

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.

So, ladies and gentleman, I give you: -

Blade Runner - The Sentient Mix (2014)
--------------------------------------

Relayerx9

Thank you very much for this fine Christmas present ! It is always nice to discover new ways to listen to well-known music.

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?
Regards
Ted

Hello all,

It was brought to my attention some time ago that the .CUE file included in my original download was not strictly correct. Here (somewhat belatedly) are the links for the revised .CUE file(s)

Blade Runner - The Sentient Mix (2014)
a) Full download, including the music, artwork and updated .CUE file(s) https://mega.co.nz/#!JI0jiIzK!HYbm1k22JezRZJJl8uv4oNywvFKir-JFs3JUMIWXdxc (315.5 mb)

I think very much that he probably can ...

It was brought to my attention some time ago that the .CUE file included in my original download was not strictly correct. Here (somewhat belatedly) are the links for the revised .CUE file(s)

... 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! ;)

So, I'm kind of new to these BR edits and I wanted to know from you guys which edits I should download to have the complete score. Thanks!

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. :)

Repost of page 1 links please!

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

Sorry if I explained it not correct...
I'm a collector, I need everything Blade Runner Bootleg related. ;)

But for the first time I'm happy with:

Off-World Music 1993 Release
Gongo Release (I know its nearly the same)
Deck Art
Esper Releases

Oh, and if someone is interested, I can offer the complete scaned booklet from the OWM 1993 release.

Right... Complete scanned booklet from the OWM 1993 release... That'll be very kind of you.

You go first then express your wishes with the name of the releases.

Page 1 is way too generic as request.

I'll get back with one link to which other links will follow upon your kind helping towards other collectors in uploading something you have. So you give something and you get what you wish.

Thanks ENM23, it's always nice to have genuine scans of the master's releases. :)

Thank-you ENM23 for sharing! I am in full agreement with Zoran, nice to have genuine scans.

THAT IS THE ONE THING I ALWAYS WOULD HAVE LIKED TO GLIMPSE...

I PRACTICALLY ASKED EVERYONE BUT NO ONE EVER GOT BACK ON THAT.

I GUESS I WILL HAVE TO WAIT FOR A COUPLE OF PEOPLE THAT PROMISED SOMETHING, GOT SOMETHING IN THE MEANWHILE BUT STILL HAVE TO GET BACK FULFILLING THEIR PROMISES...

NAME THE RELEASES YOU ARE AFTER AND I WILL SEE FOR IT. :)

PAGE ONE STARTED WITH THE VERY RELEASE OF WHICH YOU HAVE KINDLY UPPED THE SCANS.

I TRUST YOU ARE HAVING THE OFFICIAL VERSIONS...

REFLECTIONS - MUSIC IN THE KEY OF BLADE RUNNER... OR... BLADE RUNNER - THE FINAL MIX BY PLIMMY... OR BOTH SINCE WE ARE IN THE MOOD? ;)

This is a maddening thread... going all over the place. Is there a LINK that is CURRENT for the 29th Anniversary version?

I have Spider's two disc set and I can not imagine anyone could top it for content and sound quality but I am happy to be wrong.

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 :)

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.

I'm in search for some lossless soundtracks like I posteted erlier:

Off-World Music 1993 Release
Gongo Release

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.

The Gongo scans will be appreciated thanks! Go ahead! :)

Basically the original Esper Edition release was conceived in 2002 by the Esper team to which the Los Angeles, November 2019 followed in 2003.
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. :)

This is nearly impossible to download, requiring an additional downloading program... and when viewing the FOUR disc collection I was indeed turned off too see this did not follow the sequence of events of the film but was clogged with a wide range of stupid stuff.

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.

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.
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.

Thanks Pendor! It's good to see you posting. :awsm:

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.

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. :)

As well, I did not see or hear a "farting tuba" at all ? . . . ?

Hi Pendor,

What's new is this 3rd Edition? Is it private or can we download it somewhere?

Best, JacKc.

Hi Pendor,

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!

Hi Pendor,

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! ;)

A BIG thanks to you dadadacicici for this!
Have missed this too long.

Thanks, D!!!!!

Thanks, yet again, dadadacicici - you are a scholar and a gentleman ! As I said before, I Love all the info provided. Just one "correction" - NO "farting tuba" in the New American Orchestra soundtrack . . . ? LOL

You're right. :)

I too have never seen or heard any "farting tuba" at all as a matter of fact! Correction "officially" approved! ;)

DC,

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

The original Esper Retirement upload by Zhora or the version fixed by Pendor?
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.

QuickSFV (http://www.quicksfv.org/) might come handy, as whatever check-sum software... unless you are having an illegal character in your folder path.
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. :)

No tragedy averted, it's just a software issue. Many thanks for your assistance my friend. :)

Is there still an active link to the 25th Anniversary 3 CD Edition? Looked through this massive thread but not finding an active one, but I realize I may have just missed it?

First post on the page you might have missed (previous one seeing that your post got to be the first of page 43... so we are talking about page 42... but I trust you already got that...) is still active.

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! :)

I think the 25th Ann link on the first page is dead. I would like an active link if possible, please.
Also, is there a link for the 30th ann edition?
Thank you.

I see...

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! :)

Is there a flac or lossless link for the EMS version?
Thank you.

It used to be both on Demonoid and Avaxhome. Have a look there.

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. :)

Awesome thread, thanks for the share!

Hello All,

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! :)

Hi All,
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.

This is overwhelming... what is it about Blade Runner that prompted 9,000,000 soundtrack releases? Which release is definitive?

This is overwhelming... what is it about Blade Runner that prompted 9,000,000 soundtrack releases? Which release is definitive?

Hmmmm two valid questions, I guess one has to go through all 9,000,000 for an answer. ;)

what is it about Blade Runner that prompted 9,000,000 soundtrack releases?

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.

Not even the official releases got closer to what we were all expecting, so we all did our best to assemble a definitive version of it.

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

And good luck! ;)

Hi All,
Okay here it is, the Ultra Edition now split up into Flac tracks for your listening convenience. (also split up Mp3 version) Again my thanks to JacKc for the great art work, and special thanks to gmxfcks for his time and help splitting the tracks. The track list file now includes time indexes and artists for each track. I have also included sleeve notes with info on the track sources and edits. For a mix I was planning on keeping to myself I am very happy with the favorable feedback and delighted to share with you guys.
Enjoy my Blade Runner brethren! :)

Hi everyone,
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

Who knows why official release never got a "clean" (without sfx/dialogs) version?

We wouldn't be here at all if we knew the answer! :)

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!

Hi, here are my final extended versions of track Mesa I've been obsessed with. Flac only

http://www.mediafire.com/file/gnajk1viv17kj1v/G96_mesamore.zip

Enjoy it ;)

FLAC appreciated! ;)

In case anyone's interested, I have recently ripped the Audio Fidelity Translucent red vinyl OST here (Thread 220488)

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.

Really? So u haven't been able to download my mix? I can't see any problem at my end. :(

Heya jethro, thanks for your reply.

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 !!

Hi all,


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.

https://scontent-atl3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/26166996_10155041466386825_6742470929021940116_n.j pg?oh=b95ac16c6420a3c86347a4df5ff019b1&oe=5AB8DA44

Big thanks to JacKc for the cover design.

Here's the final track list:

Disc 1
Main Titles and Prologue
Leon's Voight-Kampff test
Blimpvert and Sushi Bar (Michio Miyagi – “Chidori No Kyoku”) [film edit]
Flight to Bryant’s Office
The Blue Room
Flight to Tyrell Corporation
Deckard Meets Rachael
Rachael's Voight-Kampf Test
She's a Replicant
On the Trail of the Nexus 6 - I [excerpt]
Bicycle Riders (Gail Laughton - “Pompeii 76 A.D.”) [film edit]
Chew's Eye Lab
Memories of Green [film edit]
Pris's Song – (Blade Runner Blues - edit)
Pris Meets J.F. Sebastian (with Ogi No Mato)
Deckard's Dream
Esper Analysis
Tales of the Future (On the Trail of the Nexus 6 – II) [edited excerpt]
Animoid Row
Taffey’s Snake Pit Bar
Salome's Dance
On the Trail of the Nexus 6 - III [excerpt]
Zhora's Retirement (Blade Runner Blues edit)

Disc 2
One More Kiss, Dear
I Am The Business
Would You Come After Me?
Love Theme (with piano)
Los Angeles 2019 (Ensemble Nipponia – “Ogi No Mato” [excerpt])
Morning at the Bradbury
What Generation Are You?
Will You Help Us?
Elevator to Tyrell's Bedroom/Queen to Bishop 6
I Want More Life/The Prodigal Son Brings Death
Deckard Enters The Bradbury
Dangerous Days
Roy Enters the Bradbury
Show Me What You're Made Of
Baty and Deckard (Ensemble Nipponia - Ogi No Mato [excerpt])

The Roof
Baty Saves Deckard (Wounded Animals [excerpt])
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:

Amazing work, you are indeed a star!

Many thanks for all the good work (and the link to it), SlvrHmrm !!

wonderful message and gift :) thx

By the way, SlvrHmrm.... great job indeed! The Unknown Asian Music (track 18 on CD2, not mentioned in your tracklist but just before "The Roof") is called "Chidori no Kyoku" from Michio Miyagi. You will find the full track on the "EMS Recombination (The Japanese Tracks)".

This sounds promising. I'll give this a good listening.

Doesn't this deserve an extra thread?

Thank you, amazing stuff (How many collections of Blade Runner do I have already ? this is madness :D )

This sounds promising. I'll give this a good listening.

Doesn't this deserve an extra thread?

If everyone thinks we should have a dedicated thread I'm willing. Just let me know.

Looking forward to the bonus disc! Just some suggestions for adjustment: "Would You Come After Me", "Love Theme", "Morning at the Bradbury", "Tears in Rain", and "Unveiled Twinkling Space" all have the wrong speed, I'm afraid. I can follow up with the exact percentages in a later post

In the meantime, I was saving this for my edit, but I guess I should share the original cue titles from the BMI repertoire, more of which were added in September. In chronological order:

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 too based everything on the speed of the Final Cut, and 99% of the time, it matches up with the archival versions. The sole exception (so far) is "Rachel and Deckard Meet", which has a minimally lower pitch in the Final Cut for some reason, by 1.1%.

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%

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! ;)

WOW, thank you very much :-)
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. ;-)

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

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:

HUGE thanks for this! :D

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 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.

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.

Many thanks SlvrHmrm for this awesome 35th Anniversary Edition. You have made a great job!!!

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! :)

Just an honest question: how do you know what is Vangelis' music and what is fx?

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! ;)

I stumbled across this interesting ambient take on the Blade Runner 2049 soundtrack. It's actually pretty good!

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...

To be honest, I'm not quite sure, D. It looks like his handle on Soundcloud is "STARTCREATING", but his name on Facebook (where this track came to my attention) is "Gašo Kar". Not sure if that's his real name or not.

Hey everyone, great to be back on this group to find it is still very active. I was locked out of the forum for ages when my password stopped working and FFS stopped sending out verification emails. Only just found a way in the other day. Used to be terryscifi on the group but had to change it to get back in, lol. Great to see the old guard stil here!

And now the old guard is even more complete. ;)

...used to be terryscifi on the group but had to change it to get back in, lol. Great to see the old guard still here!

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! ;)

Just an honest question: how do you know what is Vangelis' music and what is fx?

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.

Hi all,


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.

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.

Reissue/Repack/Proper

"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?

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.

END OF LINE.

SELECTED CASES FROM THE WORLD WIDE WEB (http://www.ebay.ie/itm/Blade-Runner-Extreme-Rare-EMS-RECOMBINATION-soundtrack-/322608431786?)

And then there's the usual tried-and-tested eBuy smartholes going like:

"EMS Productions. TYRELL MUSIC. LIMITED EDITION UNNUMBEREDS. LIKE NEW.
So difficult to find!!!
In this moment no-one in eBuy.
VERY VERY RARE."

Oh my... again?

�135,00 EUR on Dec 22, 2017

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!

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.

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.

I would also like to see a reup on the 35th edition, if that's possible.

Ohh I forgot today's the day for the EMS redux! Gonna grab this like no tomorrow! Thanks!

Thank You for the updates & the very useful information. I save all the explanations! So much work has gone into this, much appreciated. =)

Thanks DC, much appreciated that you continue to spread the great works of our Maestro - VANGELIS ! Bravo!

Hi all,


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.

https://scontent-atl3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/26166996_10155041466386825_6742470929021940116_n.j pg?oh=b95ac16c6420a3c86347a4df5ff019b1&oe=5AB8DA44

Big thanks to JacKc for the cover design.

Here's the final track list:

Disc 1

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:

https://we.tl/8Pmnn9Fzj7

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?

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! ;)
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!

Mine is going along in the sound forging I'm afraid... but keeping on listening full lossless files with a decent setup did help a lot to compensate for everything else! :)

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.

END OF LINE.

SELECTED CASES FROM THE WORLD WIDE WEB (http://www.ebay.ie/itm/Blade-Runner-Extreme-Rare-EMS-RECOMBINATION-soundtrack-/322608431786?)

And then there's the usual tried-and-tested eBuy smartholes going like:

"EMS Productions. TYRELL MUSIC. LIMITED EDITION UNNUMBEREDS. LIKE NEW.
So difficult to find!!!
In this moment no-one in eBuy.
VERY VERY RARE."

Oh my... again?

€135,00 EUR on Dec 22, 2017

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!

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!!! ;)

I'm looking for a more permanent home while I do some revisions to correct some minor errors. Stay tuned! Any news, really looking forward to this version? :)

Any news, really looking forward to this version? :)

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!

Great releases thanks all.

Blade Runner EMS Recombination Definitive 3 Disc Edition(2011)
Thanks!

Thanks for your work and your shares!!

Did anyone make a full cover (spine and back) for this one? I haven't been able to find any.
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...

Ah, I meant the DSCOVR disc of the sequel score. - I had assumed my comment was attached to that post.

I see! You meant this one: DSCOVR - Off World (The Final Cut) (Blade Runner 2049 Ambient) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WiJh4mF0GIs) :)


Out of the unknown past and into an unknown future. Welcome to 2049.

This samples the Blade Runner 2049 album, providing an alternate experience..

Timestamps:
00:00:00 - JOI (Final Cut Edit)
00:16:00 - Sea Wall (Final Cut Edit)
00:29:20 - Wallace (Final Cut Edit)
00:51:06 - Memory (Final Cut Edit)

Correct. It's a nice solid piece of cover art and I had hoped to find the rest of the art for a CD.

Unless the maker has a go at it I am not sure there might be a need to burn this into a cd with proper artwork.

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 ;)

Hey all,

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

https://vimeo.com/254197554/e6f910b163

Looking forward to the bonus disc! Just some suggestions for adjustment: "Would You Come After Me", "Love Theme", "Morning at the Bradbury", "Tears in Rain", and "Unveiled Twinkling Space" all have the wrong speed, I'm afraid. I can follow up with the exact percentages in a later post


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.

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 ;)

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.

So you have two different setups for listening and streaming I take. Why not making it into one?

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...

Hiya!, I really liked the original Ultra Edition, however I cannot seem to fit the extended version onto one CD. Every time I try to burn onto CD I get a message saying I have no room on the Cd even though it seems to be under 80 mins. Was it made to go on a single CD? If not where is the best place to make the cut into two CDs?
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

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.

... or you could just stream the music off your DAC. :)

Hi all,


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.

https://scontent-atl3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/26166996_10155041466386825_6742470929021940116_n.j pg?oh=b95ac16c6420a3c86347a4df5ff019b1&oe=5AB8DA44

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:

Just like Imperium and some other members, I missed this one too. Would someone re-upload it, please?

Add me to the list that would like a re-upload of the 35th Anniversary edition.

Hi Jethrotull, no problem, I just like playing stuff on CD in my car. Don't go to any trouble just for just for me and my old skool ways lol. Happy with the shorter version and thanks again for it!

Most likely your car CD player should easily accept the fuller MP3 version of it... unless we're talking about a vintage Mustang! :)

Sadly DC only Audio CD, no MP3.

Hi Jethrotull, no problem, I just like playing stuff on CD in my car. Don't go to any trouble just for just for me and my old skool ways lol. Happy with the shorter version and thanks again for it!

I was wondering does ur car cd player insert gaps into the Ultra Edition between tracks?

Mine one - 'blaupunkt' - yes. And it's very annoying.

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!

Did anyone manage to get the FLAC version of DSCOVR - Off World (2049 Cut) before it was removed from Dropbox?

There was a lossless version? Oh man, too bad that we missed it!

No you don't;)

@Imperivm anytime, it was my pleasure.

Looks like there are (at least) two versions of DSCOVR's "Off World" mix?

DSCOVR - Off World (2049 Cut) = 71:21 min/sec
Available as a wav via the zippyshare links above.

DSCOVR - Off World (Ultra Cut) = 179:12 min/sec
Available as an mp3 via SoundCloud and archive.org.

Anyone got the Ultra Cut in lossless?

No you don't;)

Yep, saw that a couple of months ago. Was hoping it had popped up elsewhere & I'd missed it. Alas, back to (im)patiently waiting.

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 ;)

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.

EVERY MODERN CD PLAYER HANDLES GAPLESS PLAYBACK BY DEFAULT...
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.

Hi all,


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.

https://scontent-atl3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/26166996_10155041466386825_6742470929021940116_n.j pg?oh=b95ac16c6420a3c86347a4df5ff019b1&oe=5AB8DA44

Big thanks to JacKc for the cover design.

Here's the final track list:

Disc 1
Main Titles and Prologue
Leon's Voight-Kampff test
Blimpvert and Sushi Bar (Michio Miyagi � �Chidori No Kyoku�) [film edit]
Flight to Bryant�s Office
The Blue Room
Flight to Tyrell Corporation
Deckard Meets Rachael
Rachael's Voight-Kampf Test
She's a Replicant
On the Trail of the Nexus 6 - I [excerpt]
Bicycle Riders (Gail Laughton - �Pompeii 76 A.D.�) [film edit]
Chew's Eye Lab
Memories of Green [film edit]
Pris's Song � (Blade Runner Blues - edit)
Pris Meets J.F. Sebastian (with Ogi No Mato)
Deckard's Dream
Esper Analysis
Tales of the Future (On the Trail of the Nexus 6 � II) [edited excerpt]
Animoid Row
Taffey�s Snake Pit Bar
Salome's Dance
On the Trail of the Nexus 6 - III [excerpt]
Zhora's Retirement (Blade Runner Blues edit)

Disc 2
One More Kiss, Dear

Love Theme (with piano)
Los Angeles 2019 (Ensemble Nipponia � �Ogi No Mato� [excerpt])
Morning at the Bradbury

Will You Help Us?
Elevator to Tyrell's Bedroom/Queen to Bishop 6
I Want More Life/The Prodigal Son Brings Death

The Roof
Baty Saves Deckard (Wounded Animals [excerpt])
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:

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

"It isn't fancy or anything." Leon
"This is a bad one, the worst yet." Captain Bryant

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

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. :)

Many thanks, P.Bateman !!!!!!!!!!!

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?

After being away on the off world colony of Babylon 5, it’s nice to be back and catch up with all that’s been happening in the intervening years. It’s nothing short of amazing to see that the work done by D.C., JackC and myself on Blade Runner: EMS Recombination is still so highly regarded

EMS would be a favourite of mine for sure. ;)

Yep! Nice to see you stopping by! ;)

The EMS is the only version of the soundtrack that I listen. I think it's the best !

Otherwise I was wondering if the soundtrack of the short "BLADE RUNNER 2049 - "2036: Nexus Dawn" is available somewhere ??

Really pleased and happy to see you again ;)

EMS Recombination remains my favorite project i worked on !!!

I posted this in a thread by itself, but just in case it vanishes again, here are the lossless files for BLADE RUNNER: THE COMPLETE SCORE (2019 EDITION). Here's what I posted in the main thread:

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.
