Will Blade Runner Ever Get a Proper Soundtrack Release?
 

I'm listening to the Blade Runner soundtrack again and it never ceases to annoy me that they mixed in audio from the actual movie (voices, sound effects, act) into it. It's FORTY YEARS later, can they *finally* release a proper soundtrack of this classic film? Or is there one and I just haven't found it--in which case: HELP!

P.S. Who else hates that they mix in dialogue and whatnot into audio in movie soundtracks? What's the point of that to begin with?!

One of my favorite Bob Dylan songs is from the Natural Born Killers film and the song has dialogue in it. I have never been able to find a clean copy.

Pulp Fiction has audio from the film but they're their own chapters. There is no film audio in the songs.

Isn't the issue that there's no clean tracks from Vangelis' original recordings? That's why the other version without dialog is a re-recording.

I have a soundtrack CD of The Ipcress File by John Barry. It's the original but there are are dialog one liners by Michael Caine mixed throughout. Haven't listened in years but seem to remember the dialog was between tracks.

I’m not a fan, but I don’t hate it. Also, if you love the soundtrack, Vangelis released the 30 year anniversary version that has a LOT more stuff on it, some is new, some is the background music that was never released before. A great album. And yes, there is some voices, sound effects, etc (including Ridley Scott talking!). I can’t knock it since it’s what Vangelis wanted. So technically the first release and anniversary ones are both proper releases.
