BuySoundtrax Records is proud to announce the release of the 30th Anniversary Celebration, Music from the Motion Picture Blade Runner available at for pre-order at www.buysoundtrax.com on September 5th and digitally and via other soundtrack boutique retailers on September 19, 2012.
The dystopian film, directed by Ridley Scott and starring Harrison Ford in his second starring role after Raiders of the Lost Ark, Blade Runner has become a cult film favorite. Loosely based on a Philip K. Dick novel, Ford stars as Rick Deckard – a bounty hunter assigned to terminate four replicants who have come to earth to find their maker.Through the years, however, multiple edits of the film have been created for the home video, DVD and Blu-Ray markets. Similarly Vangelis’ score has been released in several different incarnations, but none of them are accurate representations of what was heard in the original 1982 film.“Largely because of a dispute between Vangelis and Scott over the director’s use of his music in the film, a proper soundtrack of the music as it is heard in the film has never been commercially issued (despite the promise of a soundtrack album from Polydor Records given in the film's end titles),” describEd Randall D. Larson in the liner notes of the BuySoundtrax recording.Videos
