A question for you Focuspuller,

Just how are you sure that Unicorn is taken from Antactica? I have heard two other tracks in Blade Runner that have close sound to tracks in Antarctica and The Bounty, but they are not necessarily the same recordings. Both of which are certainly recorded for Blade Runner if they were used in the other movies. I have heard a bit from one bootleg (I have Antarctica on DVD, but I haven't watched it recently) that does sound like the Unicorn music, but considering the editing history of Blade Runner and how it was finished (not by Scott but by the studio), how do we know that the Unicorn track was not part of the the final batch of music Vangelis delivered for the movie and that he didn't just reuse the sounds in Antarctica? I mean, one of the tracks delivered between the Work Print and the Theatrical Release was the Deckard & Roy Duel/Wounded Animals which includes the Antarctica theme as Roy says goodbye to Pris. And in the behind the senes information on the DVD release they definitively say that the Unicorn scene was shot as part of the original production so it could have been scored before it was axed. I'm just wondering, other than musical similarity, what you base using the music as heard in Antarctica as part of the Blade Runner soundtrack?
