Vangelis score is ....ugh. noise

 

Ha, ha...thanks for the laugh of the day.

 

In this case, you're unintentionally correct, though, since the score of BLADE RUNNER is supposed to blend organically with the sound design, creating an overall soundscape. So it does function as 'noise' in a certain sense of the word.

I knew you would reply because i said something similar about Chariots of Fire. Incidentally that film is neither about Chariots nor about fire. Discuss amongst yours.

As I'm sure you know, Joe, the title comes from a line in the hymn JERUSALEM, by Parry, and Blake. The line itself dates from the book of 2 Kings Ch. 2 V. 11.

Sorry you didn't get my Mike Meyer/Linda Richman reference.

Many of these comparisons just don't make any sense.

 

I mean, no one's forcing you to participate in them.
