Just been watching Bladerunner, which is stunning in ultra HD. Made me think, is there a soundtrack out there that comes close to the perfection of Vangelis’ score for this?
I’d have to say the Countryman soundtrack and specifically the Wally Badarou tracks
I’d recommend you watch and listen to Vladimir Cosma’s score/soundtrack to ‘Diva’
and the score and soundtracks for this…
First time hearing The Shins was in this movie

James Mercer from The Shins went on to do Broken Bells with Danger Mouse

Wicked lp used one of these Wally tracks in my Test Pressing mix a few years back

Pretty much anything by the Maestro
Didn’t realise this was you Damon
Ryuichi Sakomoto’s score for The Revenant is sublime. Haunting, ethereal, beautiful
Michael Nyman stuff for Gattaca. Can find the album but someone has put together a playlist. The Departed is a great piece of music.
@KWizz Which mix was that? Can you share?
Got beat to Diva and Paris Texas, here’s another great film and soundtrack imo… not watched it for years, might dig it out…
Yes mate day off today for me birthday ,but what to do, where to go. Lucky I can hang out here. Have a wicked day whatever you get up to.
our comedown tape back whenever ? used to be this on one side and bladerunner on the other, bladerunner has to up there with my fav films and gonna revisit big blue with the kids, haven’t seen it in decades…
probably my favourite john carpenter film, great soundtrack/score
great Katherine Bigelow film, and a great score from Tangerine Dream
I was going to mention Eric Serra, you beat me to it.
Tangerine Dream Firestarter
Jack Nitzsche Starman
Both not amazing throughout, but the main themes are awesome, I’ve lost count of the number of tunes that rework/edit Firestarter
Love this as a kid
luke solomon did a housed up edit of wu tang - fast shadow years ago, don’t think it got to see the light of day but it was pretty good.
