When do you think that version you were talking about that used the entire dual layer disc for slightly better quality will be put to DVD?

That should be incorporated into the set, as well as that interview CD (and any other interesting BR stuff.)

I think it'd be nice to have an all-in-one type package like the one this thread is going for.

I have no idea. Honestly, I'm being the guinea pig for the new version of HDTV2DVD. There have been lots of problems and more often than not, it hasn't worked. I'm still waiting to hear back from Chris, who has been great at working on it.

Beyond that, I'm trying to do my own work on it through TMPGENC which is taking a lot longer...but what can you do.

Rikter, maybe I should put together the dual-layer version of the extras since most of the extras are my masters. I actually found a CNN interview from 92 during the re-release with Ridley. I know I have other stuff as well. I'm sure I could fill up a dual-layer disc. I could do 2 discs and you could do 2.

THAT would be a cool team up - BUT I've already started a isolated score that is matched to your first HD BR version, I could maybe sync it up with a new version. AND if we did this I would really like to do the menus and layout for the discs so they all match. If not that would be cool as well, but if that's the case would it be possible to get all the source files from you for the extras?

* Gongo Edition (128kbps MP3s)
* Los Angeles 2019 (320kbps MP3s)
* Deck Definitive (320kbps MP3s)
* Esper Edition v2.0 (Bitrates vary, ie. some files are 192, some are 224, some 256 and some 320 - all CBR, no VBRs)

I have to say I'm glad an isolated score track is being constructed. I hope that the eventual official release will contain one.

These are what I have -

* Gongo Edition (320 kbps CBR - MP3/FLAC v1.1.1a)
* Esper Edition 2002 V.2? (224-320 kbps VBR - MP3/LAME 3.92)
* Official Warner Bros - 4509-96574-2 (192 kbps CBR - MP3/LAME 3.95.1)
* Vangelis Private Edition Soundtrack - 2019 Off-World Music (128 kbps CBR - MP3/unknown)

I need these from you!!!

* Los Angeles 2019 (320kbps MP3s)
* Deck Definitive (320kbps MP3s)

Could you please use yousendit to get them to me for the collection along with an email so I can add you to the credits??

Wow. This is looking to be VERY interesting.

I haven't been around here for all that long and it is nice to see all of the pre-planning and input that goes on with these releases.

I'm working on, kind of, a flythrough of the souvenir book at the moment and we'll see what comes of that. With luck it will be better than looking at page after page of text and images.

And you know, when completed, as this is planned to be a four disc set (a pretty hefty download), I may not get to see this stuff, but gee it is nice to be around when it is being put together.

Cheers

I've uploaded a pack at Demonoid with all the Blade Runner bootlegs I have. You won't need the Gongo one, but I recommend getting the Esper Edition (in case you don't have the newer version) and the 2 you asked for. I'd also get the tiny bonus folder, which is just an archive of a website someone linked to here on the OT forums and also a Struzan comparison pic.

I am in on Rikters BR project,i just sent him a sample 16:9 WS criterion verison,not the final yet though,soon.
DJ

here is the sample if any one else wants to check it out
Blade Runner Criterion Collection 16:9 WS

now this is not in competition with the HD sourced Directors Cut(by DigitalFreakNYC),but I do like the Criterion Better,my opinion,i like the happy ending and the extra gore,and especially Harrison Ford's voice over.

PLEASE keep in mind,this is NOT the final yet,the filtering is a little strong,i have already corrected it

It doesn't look like you've added the Deck Definitive to your latest soundtrack list, Rikter. But, I'm glad you were able to get the soundtracks. That's pretty much all the Blade Runner stuff I can offer. I still reckon someone with the cash should buy the storyboard script and contribute it to this project.

If the Esper Edition is useful at all, you might consider upgrading from MP3... to a lossless version in BIN/CUE files at demonoid.com. It's Mk 2.

While it's not the best presentation of the Blade Runner score, I still belive the "Esper Edition" is an important audio document of the sounds from the film Blade Runner. It also contains some background music that has never been released elsewhere.

Blade Runner (Esper Edition)

"Blade Runner (Esper Edition) – provides a comprehensive Blade Runner soundtrack. "
-- Wikipedia

My vote is that the Espa Edition is very usefull, and should be preserved.

Sorry but beyond the Gongo edition, all the others are pointless. All are just ripped from the film itself complete with sound effects. The gongo remains the only one that is direct from the source materials.

BTW...that conversation with Harrison Ford disc doesn't have anything to do with Blade Runner. It's The Fugitive and Air Force One.

The Gongo is very nice and offers GREAT audio, The Esper MK2 is also wonderful as it has tracks that others do not, but sadly both the FLAC & MP3 files for both sets have a low background noise (source noise, slight low hum almost as if an audio cable was run next to power cords) - I've had a few friends over and pestered then into listening to three sample tracks I made, upon review we decided that the Esper MK1 sounds the most acceptable so far of the three.

So at this time about 80% of the score is from the Esper MK1, the audio is not as "bright" as the Gongo recordings but they lack the background noise (tried to filter it out but the result was less then bad) BUT now thanks to Klokwerks heads-up, I'll have the Esper MK2 CD's raw lossless WAV files - here I come baby!!!!!! - (man, I hope they lack the background noise - it's not me talking bad to or about ANYONE a lot of my CD's have some noise on them it's a thing that happens in recording sometimes)

On a secondary note, I'm now about 28 minutes into the films isolated score, and thanks to Klokwerks never-ending contributions I now have so many SUPER BAD ASS useful cues from the "Deck Definitive Edition" & "Los Angeles, November 2019 - Esper" albums.

This Musical Score Track is going to be so DAMN COOL!!!

LONG LIVE ESPER!!!

I'm really confused.

This "isolated score" isn't isolated at all. It's still got sound effects in it if you're not using the Gongo edition.

What's the point?

I would like to do it, so I'll now call it a "Musical Score Track"

UPDATE (a few minutes later)

I will now start work on 2 alternate audio tracks...

1. An Isolated Score - (Deck Art, Esper and the Gongo)

2. A Musical track - (Esper, Gongo and the WB)

What's so significant about the broadcast and Denver workprint versions? Do they contain scenes not seen elsewhere?

From the IMDB:

The infamous workprint briefly resurfaced, by accident, for a one-week engagement (1/15 - 1/21) at the Seattle, WA Landmark Egyptian Theater in 1999. However, this print was the one-of-a-kind 70mm blow-up, directly from Warner Bros.' vault!

There are some additional differences (that have not been reported) between this version and the other "regular" versions:
Sound was mixed in 6-track Dolby Stereo, and contained numerous differences in sound effects, music, and dialogue as compared to the standard 35mm 5-track mixes.

Opening shots did not include close-up and subsequent pull-aways from Holden's eye as he looks out the window, it simply cut closer and closer to the Tyrell Corp. building until the interior could be seen. All the while, air-traffic control headings can be heard being issued during the sequence (it was originally edited to suggest a view from a spinner as it flies toward the Tyrell Corp.).

After Leon fires on Holden and Holden crahes through the wall, hitting the table, the shot stays on Holden as fan blades brush his hair and his back smokes from the gunfire.

Deckard's meal at "THE WHITE DRAGON" can be seen being laid on the bar in front of him, rather than merely being heard.
No narration during the scene where Deckard awaits a seat at "THE WHITE DRAGON", but the blimp's advertisement is un-altered in the background (unlike in the "Director's Cut", where it WAS altered to cover the narration over).

When Deckard and Gaff inspect Leon's address and the attendant opens his room for them, he says, "Kowalski", indicating the current tenant. Kowalski is Leon's "last name".

Roy does not ask Chew, "Now...where would we find this J. F. Sebastian?"; the scene merely cuts to Deckard driving home.
When Deckard plays the piano in a depressed stupor: a) there is no unicorn vision, b) there is no background music, and c) we hear the one or two notes Harrison Ford actually played on the set.

Deckard's search for Abduul Hasaan lasts longer: we see more of Animoid Row and the back streets of the sector.

After Zhora attacks Deckard and flees, we see Deckard loosen his tie from his throat...as if he was nearly beheaded!

"If I Didn't Care", by the Ink Spots, was originally heard in the background when Deckard purchases a bottle of Tsing Tao.

In Deckard's apartment, there originally was no "Love Theme" as we all know and love; the initial music track merely continues on longer. Also, Rachel plays a different selection on the piano when testing herself; it actually was the sheet music we see displayed!

When Roy kills Tyrell, the footage of Tyrell dying was more in tone with the International Version (yet still somewhat tamer) and Roy then turns to Sebastian saying, "I'm sorry, Sebastian. Come. COME", as he stalks J.F.

Bryant's info to Deckard over the CB about Tyrell's and Sebastian's deaths are heard as we see Deckard driving through the tunnel.

When Deckard is parked in his sedan on the street, he is merely preparing to call J.F.'s apartment before the police spinner interrogates him.

We actually see Roy break Deckard's fingers, in close up, with a prop-hand.

More shots of Deckard as he hangs on to the nieghboring building for dear life, after "jumping the gorge".

Different, farther-away shots of Roy as Deckard watches him die.

Alternate narration was placed here (the only narration in this version), which consisted of this: "I watched him die all night. It was a long, slow thing and he fought it all the way. He never whimpered and he never quit. He took all the time he had as though he loved life very much. Every second of it...even the pain. Then, he was dead."

No shots of the "rolling TV monitors" in Deckard's apartment as he searches for Rachel. The shot merely continues, close up on Deckard, from the opening shot of the sequence, until he reaches down to pull the covers from over Rachel.

No end credits, merely exit music: the same cue heard as Gaff takes Deckard to see Bryant at the opening.
