the bladerunner soundtrackEnhance 34 to 46.For some reason, the Bladerunner soundtrack never fails to give me the chills; it's almost unbelievable that it wasn't released for ten years (it came out in conjunction with the Director's Cut in 1993, back when the media conglomerates weren't so good at the multiple medium thing, and were less... well, "conglomerated"). There is something about Vangelis' music together with the pieces of dialogue and the ambient sounds that go with it that puts you immediately there. No images required. Not even closing your eyes. Just listening. So good it hurts. I should watch the movie again one of these days. It's been a while since the last time (months even!) :-) -Do you like our owl?The undertones. The atmosphere. The depth of the story in just a few lines. Must... resist... Categories: art.media Posted by diego on November 14 2003 at 1:11 AM Comments (please see the comments & trackback policy).
The best movie ever. The Soundtrack is just amazing... Posted by: ANDR3S at November 14, 2003 9:03 AMWhen I finally finished college (all of 8 years ago) and got my first job the first thing I did was to splash out on a super de duper Dolby Surround Sound home cinema system (all fancy separates from Richer Sounds). And what was the first movie I chose to try it out? Yup, Bladerunner (I'd never before seen it but heard so much about it). I'll never forget the amazing feeling of sitting smack bang in the middle of the sound sweet spot, awestruck by the opening sequence with plumes of smoke rising to my left and to my right and the deep deep hum from the sub woofer. I loved (the first) Matrix and many other cool sci-fi films but I've never since had the same kick out of watching a movie :-) Posted by: James Corbett at November 14, 2003 9:29 AMHmm, we went to see Star Wars, in the West End (of London) when I was about 14 - that was (then) something staggering, with the start destroyer thundering over your head in the start in a way that one had never experienced before...
