Vangelis' score for Ridley Scott's 1982 film Blade Runner is one of the defining sounds of science fiction. Recorded in London while the film was being made, it was built largely on the Yamaha CS-80 synthesizer, whose swelling, glassy tones give the music its rain-soaked noir atmosphere. "Main Titles" opens on a vast, slow-burning drone, the "Love Theme" sets Dick Morrissey's saxophone against shimmering pads, and "Tears in Rain" closes the story with heartbreaking restraint. Moody, futuristic and endlessly influential, it remains a touchstone for ambient, synthwave and film score fans.
