Favourite Vangelis (Blade Runner) Song

Listen to Vangelis Blade Runner soundtrack while sitting on a train and then waltzing slowly out among the people is probably the closest live-Blade Runner experience I had. I also recommend Jean Michel Jarre and if you are looking for something "harder" I reccomend Bjorn Lynne (multi-instrumentalist) and Chris H?elsbeck (gamecomposer) and some among Laserdance (German synthdance group), Kraftwerk and c64 SID remixes are great.
And here are my favorite Vangelis ? Blade Runner tracks.

1 Blade Runner (End Titles)
2 Blade Runner Blues
3 Rachel's Song (not heard in the film but...)
4 Opening Prologue & Main Titles
5 The Prodigal Son Brings Death
6 On the Trail of Nexus 6 / Tales of the Future
7 Tears in Rain (voiceless)
8 Memories of Green
9 Taffey Lewis Night Club (Help me with this one! We only hear a sample from it and it sounds like a soft trance-track pulsating in the background of the nightclub Zhora works for. I think it can be found on the Blade Runner Esper Edition, disc 2, track 5. Is that the one?)

undoubtedly, Blade Runner Blues.

ultimate mood music.
sometimes i even turn on the game (saved to McCoy's apartment) i walk him out on the balcony and leave him there so i can hear the very similar Klepacki verison on a loop.

My favorite would be the Blade Runner Blues, too. That in a soundtrack full of awesome songs, making the choice hard. 'One more kiss, dear' comes in second place.

i think, hands down, its all going to be blade runner blues. but which version? the vangelis or the frank klepacki game version or the orchestrated version? or even the extended esper edition?

i prefer the extended esper edition over them all. not a big difference from the original, just about a minute or two more of music in the end.

I like the Elevator music version.

Not all.

As a youth, I enjoyed the End Titles (simpler times).

A little later on, it was Blade Runner Blues.

Today, it's the Main Titles and Prologue. IMO, it is among the finest pieces of music to set the tone of a film without overpowering the visuals.

Yes, of course. I should have read the subject line a bit more closely. I see now that it is "tracks" (plural).

Need to dust off the ol' tri-focals, I suppose.

"Blade Runner Blues" runs a close second in my list.

'Course, one of my most favorite pieces of music associated with Blade Runner is "If I Didn't Care"; it didn't even make it into the final cut of the film (and I don't care much for what Vangelis came up with as a substitute).

The Ink Spots' classic song becomes deeper when the lyrics are taken in context of the film. But that's off topic.

I'm surprised no one else has really mentioned the "Memories of Green" track!

It gets my vote for # 1

I did "really" mentioned Memories of Green as no# 8 on my list, if you look "really" close.

wow, a forum where nobody reads anything, lol. how rare. reading and writing, that's what makes a forum.

It's such a beautiful part of the track, I was surprised only one other person mentioned it other than myself.

If I came off sounding like I hadn't noticed, then I apologise. No need for hostility.

I "really" apologize for the "hostility", Memories of Green is a beautiful track in a radical way. Do you prefer the orchestral version or the original version?
