Blade Runner Soundtrack

I've written about Vangelis before, but they're worth exploring in greater detail if you like their work.  I have a great affinity for interesting, ambient, electronic music that inspires the imagination, and Vangelis does that better than many other artists in this genre.  Don't get me wrong, they've got their share of tracks that fall short of my ideals, but when they get it right, it's really really right.  Certainly their album Spiral has a lot to recommend it, and some of the tracks on Albedo 0.39 are tremendous.  More recently, I've been enjoying listening to the Blade Runner soundtrack, which I can enjoy both for the music and for the memories of watching an amazing movie.   Apparently, there are some different versions of the soundtrack that have been released over the years - this is the "Esper" edition.  There are longer and shorter versions with more or less music on them, also.
