Not to threadcrap, but most of what is being attempted here has already been done by a number of people over on the Yahoo Bladerunner Soundtrack group.



No it hasn't.

Firstly, I am a member of the Yahoo group. I have complete respect for it, it's members, and anyone else that considers themselves Blade Runner and Vangelis fans. The group shares and talks about commonly available tracks from the soundtrack, sources from the bootlegs, and the official releases. What you are referring to are a few members of that group, some of whom have made what are simply "fan edits". These edits contain less material then is available and are solely the point of view that person. The tracks consist of some music ported over from bootlegs and official releases. They contain additional sound effects (added by the editor in edition to the already existing ones from the bootlegs) and clips from the film mixed in, not to mention music on the wrong speed. None are complete by any standard. None contain any new material. And none are preservations which this is. If such a collection already existed I would I would rejoice at the fact, as other fans would. To my knowledge NO such collection exists. Beyond that, I don't think there's any point of addressing it further.

Secondly, this thread is about THIS collection. A collection that I am calling "Blade Runner: The Complete Collection". As I've said before the goal of this project is to release the most complete collection of the music as is possible. Using official, and unofficial (bootlegs and such) sources, as well as some sources of my own.

The Blade Runner music does not belong to a "Blade Runner music group" , or groups, or Vagnelis group, or groups, or anyone that considers themselves an elite fan. This music belongs to ALL Blade Runner and Vangelis fans. For ALL fans to enjoy, reflect on, and even perhaps be inspired by. This music does not belong to the smoky back rooms of over-priced rip-off bootlegs, or even to elite and exclusive chat rooms, music groups, and fan clubs. Or myself.

In the end, this is the music of Vangelis. It is only my wish to present his music as best as I possibly can, my sole intention to preserve and amplify that which he has created.

I do so with great love and respect for the composer and his work.


Hear Hear! :-)

STAR WARS: EP IV 2004 <strong>REVISITED</strong> ADYWAN *<em>1080p HD VERSION NOW IN PRODUCTION</em>

I did follow all the instructions exactly, but when you're using programs that are completely alien to you and screens appear that are not on the instructions, you can take it a few times... Then you get a bit "peeved".

It was PGC edit that it all went wrong.. kept throwing up all sorts of errors and screens..

I'm not having a pop at all the hard work everyone put in on this. But I had to draw the line after 3 wasted discs (they aint cheap). I have no idea how all this went wrong but I have never experienced such a problem with a torrent in all my life! :-) I am aware now there is just a burnable iso torrenting? would this be any easier?

The torrent is not an ISO, it's a VIDEO_TS folder. with the fix folder. I put the fix into the VIDEO_TS and the disc just crashes on the special features menus. I made ISOs and tested them and still the same crash. IMGBURN thows up layer change options. DO I ignore them and the warning that the disc won't work and burn anyway? It's quite a dissapointment after a week of waiting for the thing to download. :-(

Help Wanted: SLIPSTREAM image request - AND WIDESCREEN preservation request (Sky Movies subscribers see posts 4 onwards)...
Time
OMG.. WORST DVD COVER EVER!


Saw Slipstream in the Cinema. Best use of a Pop Track evarr... Then Jericho's "Big Area". Love it. The Acting is superb, Bob Peck is brilliant. All in all, a TOP sci fi flick... But what do you expect from the creator of TRON.

Actually, would LOVE to see this on DVD in proper widescreen.
