Blade Runner, first and foremost, is a visual 3 course meal at a 3 Michelin star restaurant of a film. The post apocolyptic looking East meets West Los Angeles is a grim backdrop for this tale of lifelike robots being built to help humans but then going mental.
The score itself is also utterly immeasurable. The man behind the score is Greek god Vangelis. Most of the score is charged with emotion and sombre, but at parts you can hear throbbing electronic music. The score is so diverse and has stood the test of time. It is no secret that there is no traditional orchestras here, but just synthesizers and electric keyboards. But therein lies the beauty. The score is extremely futuristic (for its time) but sad at times, reflecting exactly what you're seeing on screen.
Every song on the soundtrack is worthy of me posting, but I have been loving the below track for the past few days or so.
