Snake Plissken 10 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Personally I think the whole score struggles with dynamics as the bass is over bearing, since I don't have speakers that I consider great, I have a multitude of headphones for go to, given the sub regional that this OST delivers, it is hardly conveying what I think the composer intended On the flip side, I can put in BR at anytime and it does feel at home with my cans. Is it me or does every OST these days have to be seismic? 2049 has none of the beauty of suitableness of Vangelis... 2 minutes ago, Pawel P. said: I agree, this is the best option. One note - the third CD contains an entirely new Vangelis album, composed by him, not "different artists with their interpretations". And it's a wonderful music, only occasionally referring to orgiinal Blade Runner score Thx for the heads up, it makes the 3CD compilation even more worth getting. I should pay attention more to what I am listening to lol So on a different note, this company that handles the 2CD exclusive 2049 copies release is beyond a joke. I got an email just over an hr ago to inform me I had not checked out my purchase just yet This was in my email, the next was in my account I don't get how poorly this company interacts with it's customers, they have yet to respond to y two emails and have not responded to my PP dispute, yet want e to fulfill a purchase that is non existent? Is the company the same that composed the OST? they seem a little out of touch Matt C 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why, oh, why do they keep coming up with these shitty ass end credits song that are clear afterthoughts and completely change the mood at the end of the film? Are they just trying their best to make a complete atmospheric U-turn at the end, to make you understand "OK, this is the end of the film, you have to leave the room now"? That song is just the end credits for that 2022 Blackout anime. The 'Blade Runner' penultimate track is the end credits suite. Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will 2,215 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Well, I listened to Vangelis' score for the first time tonight (and am going to try to see the original film this weekend in advance of seeing the new one on Monday). I can definitely see why people like it so much more than Wallfisch and Zimmer's. It's much more harmonically satisfying, and some of the melancholy jazz parts are gorgeous, perfectly conjuring the image of a person waiting at night on a rainy sidewalk (I will have to see if that ever occurs in the film!) That said, calling Vangelis' better based on one listen to each may be a little much. I'll have to compare them more in the future. publicist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vangelis I believe achieves so much more texture, conveying the beauty, the horror, the emptiness, the sheer hopelessness of humanity, 2049 shows no signs of this Tears in the rain, Vangelis, he has so much control of his bass, he gives this moment of time, which is filled with Batty's farewell speech, it is pivotal in film making imo, 2049 has an almost clinical approach to bass with no finesse. Vangelis used tools of the 80s, his OST is timeless imo, 2049 struggles fwiw Will, stewdog1, James and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DominicCobb 194 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Listening to the score in film, while it obviously lacked that Vangelis spark, I thought it was a fine successor score, and didn't really mind the heavier, more modern sound. Listening to the album (couple times now), it's hard not to call this a disappointment. I don't mind the heavy bass and odd percussions (in the film they mostly blend into the sound design), but there really isn't enough melodic stuff. Vangelis had some really beautiful compositions throughout the original, and that definitely feels lacking here. Oddly enough I feel like Dunkirk has moments that sound more like Vangelis than parts of this. I don't think these were necessarily the wrong people for the job, I just don't think they did as good a job as they could have.

Snake Plissken 10 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I have read Zimmer used his own personal CS80 on this OST, as he wanted to remain faithful. Rather than mimic the tools being used, why not go off and actually be original? There is a 4 note motif which to me is lazy af. John Williams in Jaws did it with 2, but that is legendary and is in a hall of fame for memorable score. There are innovators and then there are imitators. I find it bewildering that Zimmer with all his experience, does another vanilla OST. I had this stupid conversation with a student in class yesterday, he decided to call me out about the OST as he had just seen the movie the day before. He is 19 ish fresh out of high school (I'm 49 and we are both studying a Bachelor of Sound). He said the score was non offensive and well suited to the movie, he hadn't actually heard the OST alone and then went on to school me about how the original movie was of an 80s synth score, ergo why 2049 was of the same. He missed the mark on both, as he really truly didn't understand what he was saying, then class discussion ensued. He asked em had I seen the original movie to where I had to ask him, "who did he think he was talking to, and that he needed a tissue to wipe his mouth based on the shit that was dribbling". I have 2 copies on LD 1 2 disc Criterion, the other the final cut, then a couple on DVD and then BR + Deckard's briefcase HD DVD collectors edition. Add to this all the OST that were released. I can say I have seen BR over 100 times easily, seen all the extra footage, fwiw Criterion release has unreleased footage, Syd Meads design etc which makes this a collectors edition for fans. So the point was, trying to reason with someone who ask you to validate your knowledge of the film seems baffling to say the least. My teacher asked for no spoilers, so I chimed in and said they all died at the end and were replicants (haven't seen the movie just yet, trying to tee it up with a Dolby Atmos session and dated interview for different course). I think people that are not too familiar with the original film are acceptant of the newer one not truly understanding the efforts that went into making the original. If you go to mention anything of this, it's lost on people who never invested time in the original. Trying to explain anything is a waste imo A 4 note motif that comes into MESA then Blade Runner tracks in OST does hardly do this OST justice. I managed to play the OST on some old school Tannoys I found the whole mix just confusing, while the bass is great with a sub, I noticed it's only good on anything that can actually displace air rapidly and in large amounts, yes you need expensive gear to hear this as intended. This OST is not headphone friendly imo One thing that needs pointing out is the amount of stereo panning when the CS80 Vangelis motif enters, it's annoying and I can't see it being helpful if the same mix is employed in the movie, I hope it's not. Another thing I struggle with is the amount of compression that is going on in the OST, I know this is due to the MP3 AAC codecs, we wont truly know what the OST sounds like until we get the CD, hopefully the issues I am hearing is due to these codecs. So spending time with the 2049 on the Tannoys, the bass region was well employed, it actually was sonic bliss, then everything came in and was hard to discern what was doing what and how, bass suddenly got lost, motif was swirling round losing that impact of what I considered to be a center piece. This isn't a critical review, more so what I had experienced yesterday. Everything seems out of place when put together, it struggles to as a mass stay together, singly I think it works, when as an ensemble just get's messy. Again this could be due to the codecs being used, I would like to hear a 24 bit version of this before I make final judgement, having said that, I don't find the OST to be anything unique, we have in some form already heard it all before if your familiar with Zimmer's work and the original BR.

Only another 3 weeks before CD arrives... The mix/master is fantastic, as it always is with Meyerson, but crappy file quality, muddy room acoustics, or shit speakers/headphones will overhype mids and basses, which is why so many people think Zimmer's music overdoes the bass. If anything, most other music underdoes it, and yeah, you do need rather good gear to appreciate that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've not met these kids, you don't understand the amount of disrespect they display in class, hence why I have chosen to continue my studies elsewhere. If someone spoke to you like I was spoken to, I am pretty sure you wouldn't put up with their behavior either, he never wanted to "discuss" he wanted to provoke and argue. Fact he jumped up and started pointing at me wildly in class, then when I cited Wallace as apposed to Wallfisch as composer then to be ridiculed, this wasn't a discussion, it was an attack, which promptly ceased when I said what I had.

Snake Plissken 10 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 So I went to see this today, meh Cinema was one of the best I could find with Dolby Atmos, it was way too loud and I have a hearing disorder The music is soulless, there is 1 scene where K is walking down the st into his apartment, the music that accompanies this short trip is a typical Zimmer drum rapid fire, but nothing happens, K just walks from the street to his apartment, it is a really bizarre composition that would only suit an action piece Then I was waiting for the Blade Runner track from the OST, the best part of the OST imo is the end credits to my dismay The movie is long boring and tiresome, actually it's not that good to look at compared to the original. I can see why people just don't agree with the movie, and it really doesn't seem like a Blade Runner universe, the acting is well, you just don't care about the characters. To me the movie just seems so one dimensional across the board, story, FX, music, take your pick. Blade Runner had a very basic story, but I felt drawn into the world from the music and FX, 2049, not so much so...

MedigoScan 324 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 well I got way from this in a completely opposite direction, but since I am bad at articulation, I will just say I liked it and also I gained more appreciation for parts of the score after seeing it in context. though I still wish there was more of an identity to individual pieces (also I dont recall any drumfire for any out of place scenes myself) James 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biodome 714 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 My personal reaction to the OST is similar to the Dunkirk OST. I'd never listen to it on its own, but it fits the film and works well as a functional score. It's an OK score of average quality, but one that doesn't rise above that. I'd have loved something more spectacular and unique, though, as in the score by Vangelis. Arpy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corellian2019 386 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 The score was generally not terrible, but became downright awful when those "motorcycle" effects revved up, which, combined with the motors of the flying vehicles, made it too much to bear. No real themes or even motifs to speak of. Felt that I had to "clean my ears" afterwards, so to speak, by revisiting Vangelis' masterwork. Here are a few of my favorite highlights of the first film's score, for those who are curious or felt the same way that I did about the sequel's score: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 7,506 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 The 90-minute soundtrack release is almost unlistenable, IMO. So I assembled this 53-minute playlist for anyone wanting a more succinct listening experience (with emphasis on the Vangelis-like stuff over the "action" stuff): 1. 2049 2. Sapper's Tree 3. Rain 4. Sea Wall 5. Memory 6. Mesa 7. Joi 8. Wallace 9. That's Why We Believe 10. All the Best Memories are Hers 11. Blade Runner 12. Almost Human In addition to removing some tracks, I've also rearranged the sequence slightly to allow for better listening. That is, I've kept "Mesa" (as the best track) midway. I've put "Sea Wall" and "Wallace" as 4 and 8, to break up the ambiance cues slightly. While the long, 10-minute "Blade Runner" contains segments I'm not too fond of, it also works as an end credits suite of sorts. I think this will work for me for now.

Anyone can make playlists, including myself. But a proper composer or producer-produced album -- with listening experience in mind (which I'm not convinced BLADE RUNNER 2049 was) -- is always preferred. As I've said many times, producing a proper album is more than just assembling playlists. But it's the second-best option when there's no better alternative. I actually have several other albums lined up for similar "playlist treatment" when I get time and stamina (even creating playlists is not "easy", I think, but it's doable).

Snake Plissken 10 Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 No this was the limited edition 2CD 2049 copies, to which they released a 2nd edition because somehow it devalues the 1st edition then they will probably release the deluxe collectors steel box edition with like a steel box which is the same as every other edition, only it comes in steel I guess?

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 So many Varese or LLL releases limited to 1,000 copies have barely gone for $100 on eBay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
