When I was probably 7 or 8 years old my dad put the entire Blade Runner soundtrack on an ipod nano (do they even still make those things anymore...?) for me to listen to, along with many other movie soundtracks. Even as a little kid this song always stuck out to me, like you feel a special kind of sadness that you don't hear in many other pieces of music. I've always found it relaxing, in a melancholic sort of way. It's hard to put into words, really.

i missed Vangelis so much in Blade Runner 2049

[@virtuiz2919]

i say the same. zimmer did good job but its not even close to atmosphere that Vangelis can produce. it sounds more like some dark blockbuster SF soundtrack. Too bad they didnt got vangelis for the movie. Im sure that it would upgrade the picture onto whole new level.

[@blkmanbat]

For me BR 2049 was the best movie of 2017. I also loved the music that was composed for it.

[@robwebnoid5763]

@@virtuiz2919 ... Several reasons for why Vangelis was not used in 2049... He isn't doing musical scores at all now, if maybe only one or two idk. He is notorious for completing his movie scores late. He had a falling out with Ridley Scott because of the above I think. He wasn't sure how to make a better score for a sequel to a movie he became famous for. He is getting older so this type of work might be getting harder for him to do.

[@charlie-obrien]

@@robwebnoid5763 is there anyone who hasn't had a falling out with Ridley Scott? The guys a genius, but also a complete ass.

[@robwebnoid5763]

​@@charlie-obrien ... Speaking of Ridley, I was ok with his Prometheus & Covenant. They are what they are. While maybe half the viewing audience were critical of it. I think part of the genius you speak of is just him trying to get these 2 movies made in the first place, after 15 years of hibernation since after Resurrection & 3 decades since the 1st movie that started it all. They are not based off novels/books & written on the fly. Vangelis is one of my earliest synth / electronic music heroes & I am at least glad that he is still alive, though at his age you have to wonder how much longer. BR2049 still gets 80% positive review across the board despite no Vangelis, although I wonder if it would add more points to that if he scored it... scored it well. But there was also no hype buildup to 2049 so that could be a partial factor into why it didn't make a lot more money than it did, i.e. it made only less than twice its proposed budget.
