|about track|In 1994, an official recording of Vangelis' score was released by East West (Warner Music) in the UK and by Atlantic Records in the US. The album reached the top 20 in the UK album charts. This release contained a twelve-page booklet consisting mainly of stills from the film. On page 3 there is a list of credits and the following by Vangelis: "Most of the music contained in this album originates from recordings I made in London in 1982, whilst working on the score for the film BLADE RUNNER. Finding myself unable to release these recordings at the time; it is with great pleasure that I am able to do so now. Some of the pieces contained will be known to you from the Original Soundtrack of the film, whilst others are appearing here for the first time. Looking back at RIDLEY SCOTT's powerful and evocative pictures left me as stimulated as before, and made the recompiling of this music, today, an enjoyable experience. (VANGELIS Athens, April 1994)"|

I am a bot by radd.it data services. I have been requested to post these reports.

Admatha may not remember it (or may deny all knowledge), but we actually met at an X-Files convention in the late 90s, and she introduced me to the sport of lockpicking.

It was on the second night of the convention, and after the day's festivities had mostly wound down, I found myself wandering the corridors in a somewhat inebriated state. The room numbers were definitely blurry in that hotel, odd.

I reach door 442 and chortled. 42! Decided to bang on the door. 'Mulder! We gotta go!'. Out popped a pissed-off looking admatha. She took one look at me, correctly surmised that I was drunk as a skunk, and decided to shepherd me to my room. Or take me on a recon mission, one of the two.

<insert some ever-so-stealthy stumbling through the hotel, introducing myself to a pot plant as 'FBI'>

We reached my room, or the records room in the Pentagon and admatha bundled me inside. What a saint! I insisted upon giving her some of my bourbon, but it was locked in the safe and I didn't have the combination. Admatha picked the lock somehow (bobby pin probably) and retrieved the bottle. We toasted Mulder and Scully, after which point I passed out and admatha threw a blanket over me and went back to her room. She left the bottle, classy lady.

At a panel the next morning I recalled the lock picking, and admatha told me to go look it up on the internet. I learned the basics and saved my bacon a few times after forgetting my keys in subsequent years.


My item is this awesome new Bladerunner SACD. I want so badly to chill out with a glass of wine and this blasting on the stereo.
