Blade Runner Synth Jam
26Feb09
I’m a Blade Runner freak, so, this Blade Runner Synth Jam caught my eye:
The opening titles from ‘Blade Runner’ by Vangelis on a microKORG and an ARP Axxe.
I can’t make an Axxe sound like a CS-80, of course… ‘but then again, who does?’
It’s nice to see a fairly reasonable cover done on relatively cheap gear – but nothing sounds like a Yamaha CS-80!

Beautiful.
So if your a BR fan, can you recommend other albums/artists/songs in the Blade Runner Vangelis style?
In the name of shameless self promotion I would recommend going to my site, shaneking.com and click on the redgreenblue link. I’m a huge BR/Vangelis fan and try to capture some of the essence of his music.
‘I want more life ……’
BlueBrat – you’ll want to check out the Vangelis posts on Synthtopia, there are a ton of them.
Nobody really does Vangelis like Vangelis, obviously, but there are other interesting orchestral electronica artists you should check out. You might start with David Wright & Robert Fox at AD Music and Alpha Wave Movement.
Check out Shane’s site, he’s got a free album to download there – and if anybody else is doing Vangelis-style orchestral electronica, feel free to plug it here!
Blade Runner freak here too. While you’re at it, check out Claudio Simonetti’s cover of the BR “End Titles” — he takes it in a more breakbeat/proggy direction reminiscent of the TAAW covers. iTunes Sotre link: http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?i=270780244&id=270780118&s=143441
