the score for bladerunner has always been controversial. personally, i think it is perfect for the film-- a blend of the organic and electronic. i have a number of vangelis recordings, most of them i enjoy. there has always been something eerily schmaltzy, romantic and over-the-top about his stuff, which he nevertheless manages to rescue with the daring nature of his individuality and willingness to disregard convention while also staying close to it.

i am not a worshipper, by any means, so that means i don't own 'chariots', and the 'jon and vangelis' stuff (gag me), but much of his earlier work was really great for casting weird spells. anyone ever heard 'Beauborg'?
