Whilst I wouldn't say Blade Runner was formative, it certainly plugged into me & my brother's already-primed 17/18 yr-old minds both conceptually (i.e. the film) & musically (Vangelis' theme). Strangely, I can never remember how the them actually goes, but whenever I hear it, it sends a shiver down my spine. For me, nothing dropped the 'favour-techno-when your-older' programming into me more effectively than growing up in a Catholic (mostly white) background in the UK and living in the sublime 1980's pop era. 'Don't you want me' by the Human League was number one (seemingly) forever in the UK in 1982, remember. Add to that Joy Division, then New Order, The Cure, Heaven 17, etc, and I think your fate's sealed. k >-----Original Message----- >From: james bucknell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Wednesday, July 03, 2002 4:56 PM >To: 313 (E-mail) >Subject: Re: [313] Soundtracks and Early Memories > > >'end title blade runner' was re-released in 1991 on zyx. it's a four track >of italo disco/new wave tracks called club classics. >james >www.jbucknell.com > > >> From: Jason Kessler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >> Date: Tue, 02 Jul 2002 15:06:42 -0400 >> To: Nik Stoltzman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, "313 (E-mail)" >> <[email protected]> >> Subject: Re: [313] Soundtracks and Early Memories >> >> on 7/2/02 2:48 PM, Nik Stoltzman at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >> >>> I think the main title theme from Bladerunner has to remain one >of the most >>> pivotal pieces of electronic music for me, at least in terms of how it >>> affected my musical tastes and development. >> >> Speaking of which, does anybody out there know whether or not >the *original* >> Vangelis version of the Bladerunner soundtrack was ever released >on vinyl?
