So, it's the same edition... frown


The MP3 version? Yeah I suppose it is. I assume the 2-disc set will have more music.

Just got my download on waking up this morning.

The film dropped a bit on RottenTomatoes. Leonard Maltin thought it long and boring.

I don't think so because there was never any mention of extra content. It will most likely be identical to the download, just on CD.

And after 2, 3 listenings, for my part I definately don't need more of the same.

Shall see.. We don't have any confirmed information about physical 2CD's edition!

To be fair, it "dropped" to 90%, which is what the original and Final Cut are sitting at wink

Correct...all distributed downloaded tracks starts with 01......it could mean that these are the downloads for cd 1 only wink

I know we're talking about the soundtrack here, but I wanted to say something quickly about the length of the movie...

It's very drawn out, like Blade Runner: The Final Cut is. If you have seen that movie and love it, then you will love the pacing of this as well. I was actually deeply engaged and on the edge of my seat the entire movie. Others are really bored with it. I saw some people leave the movie early, and others commented after it was over about how long it was.

If you haven't seen it yet, be prepared to have stunning extended visual scenes that add depth to the world, which should give you an understanding behind some of the thought processes of the characters. Don't let the length ruin it for you like it did for Leonard Maltin. He actually really doesn't like the original Blade Runner either.

It's a great movie. SOAK IT IN.

Is the total runtime of the MP3's less than 80 minutes? If so then yes, something extra may be on CD #2.

No idea smile
Another question: is it possible they haven't got clearance for using the Elvis and the Frank Sinatra tracks on the physical cd's!?

Doubtful. I am sure if it's on MP3, it will be on CD. Most of the money is from MP3 these days. Digital runtime is 94 minutes, so the 24 songs we have now wouldn't fit on a single CD. Even minus the 3 songs, were still looking at 83 minutes. So that is not a good sign.

I agree completely on this point - it's been a long, stressful week, I was on the fence about racing from work early to be in a theater for 5 hours, but...it was WELL worth it. The 2 films complement each other nicely, and I literally faded into my seat for the duration. Too funny the new BR may share the same, misunderstood fate as its predecessor! I hope it doesn't - the pace & overall mood is refreshing to the usual bombardment we get now. And actually a story I enjoyed, another change of pace!

Ok they will spread out some sort of editted complete score over 2 cd's (with some alternative/ demo tracks), great news to me, what do you mean...not a good sign!?!! I wished for a few exclusive trailer music tracks on the second disc but that is probably to much to ask for ')

Would anyone be willing to "swap" copies? For anal retentive people like me, I prefer the first edition of the album's cover art. I'd be happy to trade the second edition for it if you don't care about silly things like that. smile

Comments on the score from another score board:

"Blade Runner 2049 - Wallfisch/Zimmer

Not doubting that it works a treat in the film but as a standalone listen this comes across as mind-numbingly dull. What a savage disappointment - shapeless, themeless, simplistic ambient textures for the most part. Can't imagine ever listening to this again (other than as a cure for insomnia)."

Wow! What a totally crap soundtrack! I can't believe that ANYONE will be happy with this. Not BLADE RUNNER fans..not VANGELIS fans ..not even Zimmer fans.!
First track starts out hopeful with the 'Blade Runner' feel. Definite nods to Vangelis and although not amazing at least I thought..'okay..this is going to be good' ...how wrong I was.The next ten or so tracks are just ..nothing. Vapid sound textures with moments that feel like a poor man's Vangelis dotted about. And cling on to those moments cause the rest is so bland its unreal. The best track was the Sinatra song!
It doesn't get much better either. There's another two Elvis songs and a jarringly 'popy' song at the end. The composed music plods along till you get a final ten minute track at the end ( before the previously mention crap song) that seems..okay but that's only cause your mind is so desperate to clutch onto any highlight by this point.
I can't believe Hans Zimmer did this. I love a lot of Ambient stuff such as Harold Budd and am happy enough with big washing soundscapes but this is such a disappointment on all fronts. Vangelis must be chuckling away to himself because the only thing this shows is how brilliant his was!
Really interested to hear what others think. Seeing the film tomorrow so I sure hope the music isn't expected to any way carry it! Disappointment of the year.

I've seen the film which frankly I thought a colossal bore and not in any way comparable to the original BLADE RUNNER which was brilliant. As for the "music"! I don't think I've ever heard a more ghastly score which was painful to hear and too intrusive.

To think, when certain people were once again decrying "But you haven't even heard it yet!", turns out the best part of the score was that we hadn't heard it yet!

Can anyone tell me where the music in this trailer is from?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZOaI_Fn5o4

And from the "Road to Blade Runner 2049" website came from?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUjkhfumzgw

Is it on the soundtrack and in the movie? Am I missing something here...?
