By the way, although probably everybody here knows this link already, I think it's interesting because it put the right titles on the unreleased BR tracks:

http://repertoire.bmi.com/writer.asp?blnWriter=True&blnPublisher=True&blnArtist=True&page=1&fromrow=1&torow=25&querytype=WriterID&keyid=259951&keyname=PAPATHANASSIOU%20EVANGHELOS&CAE=54407690&Affiliation=BUMA

If this direct link doesn't work, search PAPATHANASSIOU EVANGHELOS from http://www.bmi.com

This is nice information, but it is quite jumbled and contains several things that are not BR related. "Change We Must" and "Come To Me" stand out plus the El Greco tracks. So I'm not really sure that the titles are indicative of what the Missing BR tracks might be called. Most of the titles are straight off the 3 cd set and the titles on Disc 3 are tracks created and titled specifically for that release. It is very interesting, but I'm not sure how useful it is.

Of course it's evident that the material in this list is not BR only. For instance, "Lance Loud - A Death in an American Family" contains no original music, it's a 2003 documentary in which "Blade Runner Love Theme" has been used - hence the registration here. Some other tracks are nothing else than the NAO cover versions.

But you're right, almost all the material from CD 2 and CD 3 of the Trilogy is here (Numbers starting with 939). The tracks that don't appear here are simply not licensed by BMI (most of CD 1, the 1994 soundtrack)What I find interesting is the tracks with registration numbers starting with 356. If you put them together, it gives the following track listing:

- LOOKING FOR SNAKE MAKER
- CHINATOWN CLUB
- ORIENTAL MUSIC ON TELEVISION
- ZORA TRIES TO KILL DECKARD
- ROY KILLS TYRELL & SEBASTIAN
- OUTSIDE THE BUILDING
- DECKARD ENTERS SEBASTIAN'S BUILDING
- ROY STABS HIS OWN HAND
- WHERE ARE YOU GOING

Not drawing any conclusion, just pointing at this list with a question mark, as it seems to refer to some unreleased cues and bring titles to them.

Now, I do agree the names may not reflect their real location in the movie. "Roy Stabs His Own Hands", for example, because when he actually does stab his hand with the nail, there's no Vangelis music playing but the Nipponia Ensemble "blimp" track. Maybe is this cue heard somewhere else, or simply it's not used...?
