One of my favorite re-recordings ever.

Normally, I dislike Re-Recordings but clearly a lot of effort went into replicating the Vangelis tracks for this release. A secondary disc of further music would be most welcome :-)

No, it's only selections. The score in the film is nearly wall-to-wall. This is basically a re-performance of the Old World/Gongo boots that were floating around a few years ago.

I notice on the BSX website that they have just reissued their Blade Runner re-recording on CD. For anyone who missed out the first time around, I really recommend this - it gets as much play in my house as the 3-CD set. It's the same music as the previous release, just remastered with new cover art.

Wasn't this recorded by Jack Elliot's New American Orchestra years ago with orchestrations by Patrick Williams?

That album came out some months after the film was released after the soundtrack recording couldn't be released for whatever reasons.
It's a damn fine album, but it's still an Orchestral version of this electronic score done by some of Hollywood's best musicians.
Some of the tracks are pretty damned good.

Ford, can we expect a re-issue of The Thing as well? I've heard the world about that album and I'm looking forward to getting it and Blade Runner.
While I used to be a purist in such matters, going almost exclusively for original recordings, my thinking has changed quite a bit in the last few years.

It's great to see this has been reissued for fans of the film and score who didn't get it the first time. I'll echo what others have said: I would buy a second disc with the remainder of the score faster than you can say "Lo-faszt!"

After the two Conan re-recordings, Blade Runner, and The Thing, me too.

Indeed! QBVII, The Salamander, Hour of the Gun, The Alamo, Mysterious Island, Fahrenheit 451, Battle of Neretva... the list goes on.
