Vangelis created Memories Of Green in 1980 for his album See You Later, but it's not as famous as the Blade Runner soundtrack from 1982 in which the track was included too.
📰 From www.soundonsoun...
One of the best scenes in the film occurs early on, when Deckard (Harrison Ford) has an awkward meeting with Rachael (Sean Young). The music heard in this scene fits it perfectly, yet was taken from an earlier Vangelis album. The piece, 'Memories Of Green', is distinctive for its melancholy, 'drunk' piano sound. Raphael Preston: "We used an Electroharmonix Electric Mistress flanger pedal on 'Memories Of Green', putting a Steinway Grand through it. The electronic noises on there came from one of the first hand-held electronic games, a Japanese thing called the Bambino UFO Master Blaster Station! I had to play it for the length of the piece without losing the game, because when you lost, it made the most horrible noise."

Beautiful piece of music but it's a pity the 🎹 is not tuned. ‏‪

[@pianoelektro]

It’s an electronic effect, the original is a little bit like that, evoking old memories…

@@pianoelektro they say: the piano sound symbolizes the human world, while the synthesizer sound (electronic) symbolizes the technological world of androids. Those two worlds come together in this melancholic song.
