Audio Fidelity Releases Vangelis Blade Runner Soundtrack On SACD

Marshall Blonstein’s Audio Fidelity label has just released the classic Ridely Scott 1982 science fiction film soundtrack to Blade Runner on SACD. Performed by the legendary Vangelis, the music and film formed a magnificent partnership that sounds fresh and exciting to this day.

The SACD was Mastered by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio and is now available in a limited edition and numbered release.

After a successful run of Blade Runner-Vangelis on red translucent vinyl LP, the specialty label has followed that up with a fantastic transfer of the classic soundtrack on crystal clear SACD. Any music or movie collector will enjoy this rendition of the soundtrack. The SACD comes housed in a windowed sleeve with the original CD booklet that includes a forward by Vangelis from 1994 with pictures from the movie.

Movie and music buffs alike will find extreme enjoyment in all the voice excerpts from the movie and its cavalcade of stars that included Harrison Ford, Daryl Hannah, Rutger Hauer, Sean Young, and Edward James Olmos. The great music combined with elements of the film will bring you back to 1982 in a flash and you will see frames of the movie running through your mind while you listen.

Audio Fidelity is a leader in reissues and Blade Runner-Vangelis is yet another superb addition to their massive catalog of reissues. This limited edition SACD can be purchased directly from the label’s website or any fine etailer such as Amazon.com.
