“In a nutshell‚ this release attempts to do on a single disc what OWMBlade Runner 2000 did with two: take from every Blade Runner source outthere. It starts out with Deckard’s ESPER monologue‚ taken from theWarner release‚ but then layers in the thundering booms of the MainTitles. There’s a bit of incidental music taken from the Deck Musicrelease as well‚ (the lead-in to the “Love Theme” is very well done). Despite some obvious drawbacks‚ I have to say that this is a decentsingle disc Blade Runner bootleg. Not as effect-driven as the DeckMusic and not entirely musically pure like the Gongo and Warnerreleases. There’s a bit of everything‚ and all the major themes arethere. Nicely done‚ Asian Worlds.” (Sebastian)

“Here is a perfect example of how to present well-known material in anoriginal way. Almost all of the themes are included here‚ in a complete orshortened form‚ but the listen never gets tedious mainly because it doesn’ttake longer than 70 minutes. I like very much those themes composed withthe add of two‚ like “Hypnotic Skyline: Blush Response”‚ “Blade RunnerBlues: Deckard’s Dream” and “Among the Menagerie: The Prodigal Son BringsDeath”. I also like that the themes are ordered in a diferent way that theother releases. And the fact that it lacks of the batch of superfluosthemes that are often included like the Trailer and “If I Didn’t Care” orthe Japonese Women’s Song it’s also good news.
In sum‚ a very good work.” (Jaime)
