BLADE RUNNER RELATED MUSIC FAQ VERSION 1.1 Copyright (c) 2003 Patrick Meaney Edited by Patrick Meaney ( patrick.meaney@verizon.net ) Assistant Editor: Netrunner ( Webmaster@BRmovie.com ) A full web version of this document can be found at the official alt.fan.blade-runner newsgroup website: http://BRmovie.com/ This document was originally part of the general Blade Runner FAQ edited by Lukas Mariman and Netrunner. It has been separated into its own FAQ as of May 2003 because people continue to make music inspired in some way by Blade Runner and thus the already extensive "BR Related Music" list is forever expanding. Blade Runner has been an inspiration to musicians since it was released. This is for two reasons. Firstly, the most excellent Vangelis soundtrack and secondly the stunning film itself - providing food for thought to many. And of all the samples, probably the most sampled set of words in any film is Roy Batty's famous final speech, "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near Tannhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost ... in time, like tears ... in rain. Time ... to die." A good listing of samples used can be found here. At the last check, they totaled 73 groups, 96 songs, 191 samples Maintaining a list of BR inspired music deserves its own FAQ. We know we still have a long way to go in listing them (and of course there are always new songs being written). If you don't see a reference to a BR-inspired song that you know, then please write in and we'll add it. Many thanks to Lukas (Sentinel to those new to AFBR), Netrunner, Evil Sponge, CZF, and anyone else who e-mailed me about BR inspired tracks. Version 1.1 - 10/30/2003 - Added a number of songs, and barriers between songs. Artist: Alexander Spence Title: Oar Features the lyric "Tears Fall Like Rain" Artist: Covenant Title: Like Tears in Rain Album: United States of Mind Rating: ***** An excellent driving bass, and strong vocal create an immersive sonic atmosphere. If you can get past the slightly 80's quality of the synthesizer, you can get into this one. Lyrics: go to the empire state and watch the city lights hear the noise of millions struggle in the sprawl stare into the sky we're few and far between black eyes full of stars wide with memories every street i ever walked every home i ever had is lost every flower i ever held every spring i ever had has died every man i ever knew every woman i ever had is gone everything i ever touched every thing i ever had has died lie down in the park and watch the satellites hear the children sing just a breath away dance in the heavy air along the interstate black lung full of fumes choke on memories... Artist: Covenant Track: Replicant Album: Dreams of a Cryotank Lyrics: lights blur shifting slightly, always the rain he's there hunting nightly, driven by pain burns fast shining brightly, dies in vain he's there, speaking lightly of life in pain bionic killer the spider in his net comes to his maker as close as he can get weak little creatures speaking with god their cries so insane, their prayers just in vain 'cause I am the replicant, to hell with the gods too late to escape, too late to regret no time to hide, no time to forget lights blur shifting slightly, always the rain he's there hunting nightly, driven by pain weak little creatures speaking with god their cries so insane, their prayers just in vain 'cause I am the replicant, to hell with the gods the rain, always the rain your pain sustained Rating: **** A catchy track, with a great industrial sound, and a pretty explicit BR connection. Rati Artists: White Zombie Album: Supersexy Swingin' Sounds (1996) Track: More Human Than Human Lyrics: I am the astro- Creep a demolition Style hell American Freak - I am the Crawling dead - a Phantom in a box Shadow in your Head say acid Suicide freedom Of the blast read The fucker lies - Scratch off the - Broken skin - tear Into my heart make Me do it again yeah More Human Than Human I am the jigsaw Man I turn the World around With a skeleton hand say - I am electric head a cannibal core a Television said Yeah do not victimize Read the mother Fucker-psychoholic lies - Into a psychic war I Tear my soul Apart and I Eat it some more More Human Than Human I am the ripper Man a locomotion Mind love American Style yeah I am The nexus one I Want more life Fucker I ain't Done - yeah More Human Than Human Website: http://www.gac.edu/~dkuster/zombie/ Artists: Pop Will Eat Itself Album: This is the Day, This is the Hour, This is This Track: Wake Up! Time to Die PWEI builds most of its songs around samples from movies, etc. and Ridley Scott is their number one choice. The song "Wake Up! Time to Die" is built around that quote from Leon when he was about to kill Deckard although the song is actually about an alcoholic. Website: http://pweination.org/ Artists: Revolting Cocks Album: Big Sexy Land (1986) Track: Attack Ships on Fire The "Attack Ships on Fire" title certainly appears to be based on Batty's words. "We Shall Cleanse the World" on the same album contains samples from the movie "The Omega Man." Website: http://www.ping.be/~ping3716/ Artists: The Stranglers Album: Stranglers in the Night (1993) Track: Time to Die Written by Paul Roberts, "Time to Die" is based on Roy Batty's final speech and includes a sample. Website: http://www.stranglers.net/ Website: http://www.paul-roberts.co.uk/ Artist: Kim Wilde Album: Teases & Dares (1984) Track: Bladerunner The song features samples from the film. Written by Marty & Ricki Wilde after seeing the film, the song talks of being hunted by Blade Runners and graphically describes Zhora's death. Kim's site even has an entry in the encyclopedia about Blade Runner, the film. Excerpt from lyrics: I watched her falling to the ground And saw the glass go flying And inside her mind the fuse blew out But deep inside a voice was crying Website: http://www.kimwilde.com/ Artists: Iron Maiden SOMEWHERE IN TIME cover references/neato things: - Live After Death, Blade Runner on the movie theater - The movie theater is the Philip K. Dick cinema, who is the author of "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" on which the movie Blade Runner is based. - The Bradbury Hotels International sign - ? [Source: Iron Maiden FAQ, check the cover and details at: http://www.maidenfans.com/?url=sit ] Artist: Jeff Mills Album: Art of Connecting (2000) Track: Deckard "Deckard", the first track, features Deckard in the scene where he is examining one of Leon's photos with his Esper machine. Techno. Website: http://www.axisrecords.com/ Artist: Gary Numan Album: Strange Charm (1986) (Also on Babylon 4) Track: Time to Die Excerpt from lyrics: "And I have seen sadness And I have seen time run out I've even seen men cry It's all lost to me now Like tears in the rain" Website: http://www.numan.co.uk/ Review: ***** This mournful song captures the feel of the movie very nicely, and is an excellent track on its own. It also has a more explicit connection to BR than other songs on the list, making this one of the best on here. Artists: Front Line Assembly Single: Plasticity (1996) Track: Replicant Features samples of Roy Batty. Website: http://www.delerium.com/ Artists: Magnesia (formerly Melatonin, formerly Atticus) Track: A Time To Die (1999) Song "A Time to Die" obviously inspired by Blade Runner - starts with Roy's "Tears in Rain" speech. Website: http://www.jammer.demon.co.uk Artist: Kent Album: Isola (1997) Track: OWC (from "Off-World Colony") Reportedly, one of the tracks on this Swedish band's album uses a sample from BR (the piano bit from "Memories of Green"). I don't think it is a sample so much as piano music inspired by Memories of Green. The song was written after seeing Blade Runner and is inspired by the blimp adverts inviting people to go to the Off-World Colonies. The words are a melancholy reflection that it is time to move on. Website: http://www.kent-music.co.uk/ Artist: Ian Brown Album: Music of The Spheres Track: Northern Lights His song "Northern Lights" contains a sample from the flickering light - a sound effect from BR (the one in Leon's Bathroom). (Ian Brown used to be in The Stone Roses.) Website: http://www.ianbrown-online.co.uk/ Artists: Blue Floyd Album: ? Track: Young Lust In their adaptation of the Pink Floyd song "Young Lust", they use a sample from the scene where Roy Batty finally meets Tyrell. Website: http://www.bluefloyd.com/ Album - Newer Wave 2.0: The New Wave Cover Series Label - 21st Circuitry Song - Love Missile F1-11 Artist - New Mind Original Artist - Sigue Sigue Sputnik [This version of the song] has two samples from Blade Runner. The first is a lift of Holden's line about the Voight-Kampff being only a test designed to evoke an emotional response, and the second is Leon's line about his mother. Both samples appear several times throughout the song." Artist: Hoodlum Priest Album: Heart of Darkness (1990) Track: Tyrell The album contains a track called Tyrell, which uses samples from Blade Runner. On the same album, use is also made of samples from lost of other movies such as Robocop, The Terminator, Total Recall, Dune and Hellraiser I and II, etc. Website: http://www.obsolete.com/a60/ But better is: http://www.atdot.demon.co.uk/hoodlum/ Artists: Paul Oakenfold Album: Perfecto Presents Another World (2000) Paul is a UK DJ who particularly does Trance remixes. He has done this with more than one part of Blade Runner (from the soundtrack album by Vangelis). Notably "Tears In The Rain" and "Rachel's Song". A few other peoples' trance remixes have also been popularised in Oakenfold sets, e.g. Andora (although occasionally those "other people" turn out to be an alias for Paul). Paul helped create the "Ibiza sound" and is behind the very hip "Swordfish" soundtrack. Website: http://www.pauloakenfold.com/ Artists: Sasha + John Digweed Album: Renaissance (1994) Track 12 is a trance mix version of the Blade Runner "End Titles" by these two DJs from the 90s UK trance scene. Artists: Remake Album: [found on Loaded records] Track: Bladerunner / Magic Fly (1995) on Load 27 and C&J Remix on Load 40 Note: 11 min. long; reportedly the best dance version of the BR End Titles around. Loaded Website: http://www.loadedrecords.com/ Artist: Cosmic Baby Track: A Tribute To Blade Runner (Maxi CD Single, 1995) 3 tracks: 1. A Tribute To Blade Runner - Radio Edit (4:08) 2. A Tribute To Blade Runner - L.A. 2018 Main title (9:15) 3. A Tribute To Blade Runner - Dance Title 1 (6:38) Dance version of the BR theme tune. Apparently the record company wanted him to use the name "Cosmic Replicant", but he didn't like that idea. Cosmic Baby also created another EP called "L.A. 2018" 1. A Tribute To Blade Runner (Dance Title 2) (7:21) 2. L.A. 2018 - Replicants Requiem (4:07) 3. L.A. 2018 - Rachel And Deckard (7:59) Website: http://www.cosmic-baby.com/ or check: http://www.franken.de/users/tursa/CosmicBaby_discog.html Artist: Canibus Album: "C" True Hollywood Stories (2001) Canibus aka Germaine Williams. This is rap music. Track 17, Box Cutter, samples the New American Orchestra rendition of the BR End Titles. Artist: Mike Ladd Album: Easy Listening For Armageddon (1997) Track: Blade Runner A variation on hip-hop that could be termed trip-hop music. Seems to be inspired by and using samples from the movie. Website: http://www.likemadd.com/ (?) Artists: Jam & Spoon Album: Tripomatic Fairytales 2002 (1993) Track: "V. Angel is Calling" (Get it? Get it? :) ) Jam & Spoon are Jam El Mar & Mark Spoon, "a dance project from Frankfurt, Germany" - creating ambient music. Note: more information on whether this is Vangelis/Blade Runner related is needed. All help is welcome. Website: http://www.jamandspoon.com/ Artists: Orbital Track: Bladerunner According to Orbital's site (http://www.loopz.co.uk/ ), the mp3 found on the Web that purports to be "Bladerunner by Orbital" is not by them. Artists: Robert Hazard and the Heroes Album: Wing of Fire (1984) Track: Interplanetary Private Eye Hazard was a Philadelphia act that had a hit record with the song "escalator of life". His second album was called Wing of Fire, and was dedicated to the makers of Blade Runner. "Interplanetary Private Eye" was one song that was directly influenced by the Movie, and he mentions things like "electric sheep" in others (madmen of the new sci-fi, we count electric sheep). Probably hard to find today, but it is probably the album most influenced by the movie out there. [Thanks to Chris for this information] Website: http://www.roberthazard.com/ Artists: Therapy? Track: Meat Abstract (1990) Therapy? recorded a track called Meat Abstract, originally as the a-side of their first 7" single, and later as the opening track on their first EP. The beginning of the song features a sample of the "Wake up, time to die!" speech from BR. They also had the quote on one of their t-shirts, along with their "angry face" logo, known to the fans as Gemil. [Thanks to Steve for this information] Website: http://therapyquestionmark.co.uk/ Artist: Warren Zevon Album: Transverse City (1989) Zevon has numerous rock 'n roll albums. "Transverse City" is a concept album which, according to interviews with Zevon, is based in part on "Blade Runner" and the works of cyberpunk author William Gibson. The lyrics of the title track certainly seem to be very much about Roy and Pris and their plight. Website: http://www.warrenzevon.com/ Artists: Andora Track: Bladerunner Trance remix of BR music - has made it onto a couple of compilation albums like Dream Dance 11. Originally released on the Infusion label, which is now defunct. Artists: L'Orchestra Electronique Album: Genius, the music of Vangelis Pointless "tribute" to Vangelis. Album artwork includes fragments of Roy's speech that is on the BR album. Artists: Hypnosis Track: Pulstar/End Title (Blade Runner) Italian dance stuff. Supposedly not very good. Artists: DJ Red Track: Near Earth (2001) Drum/bass music includes a sample of the Blimp ad, "A new life awaits you..." [Thanks to Mark for this information] Artists: Ed Rush & Nico Album: Torque (1997) Track: Technology Drum/bass music samples the Vangelis Blade Runner soundtrack [Thanks to Mark for this information] Artists: DJ Trace & Nico Album: Replicant Track: A Replicant Obviously inspired by Blade Runner. More Drum/bass music, although being described as "techstep style jungle". Artists: Blind Guardian Album: Somewhere Far Beyond (1992) Track: Time What is Time Here is a song that is all about Blade Runner. Metal Rock. Lyrics: When the moonchild is crying And silence has broken The darkest truth The things she remembered Had never been her own Replicant or human I know the way to show What do I see What will I find Know the answer inside It's your last step Ref.: Time what is time I wish I knew how to tell You why It hurts to know Aren't we machines Time what is time Unlock the door And see the truth Then time is time again Whispering These dreams were never mine It's cold inside It's gone forever The things he saw Who can say what's wrong or right The vision of a free life His eyes had seen it all For what He's asking The vision, vision, vision I know it's all a lie I'll remember his past life And I'll remember time What did I see What have I done God I knew the answers When he felt so tired Ref.: Time what is time Come lock the door don't let me in I am the one Your destiny Time what is time Reality - It hurts me so When time is time again (Solo) Look into my eyes Feel the fear just for a while I'm a replicant and I love to live Is it all over now Only these years I'll leave but I'm singing Ref.: Time what is time He saw it clearly it's too late It does not heal but it lets us forget Time what is time We'll never know So don't take care Then time is time again Should I forget The way I feel God he knows how long I tried Feel there is no reason to cry I live my life In fortune dreams forever [Thanks to Nils for the information.] Website: http://www.blind-guardian.com/ Artists: Jefferson Starship Album: Windows of Heaven (1999) Track: The Windows Of Heaven (FUTRxFUTR) There is some reference to Blade Runner in the Futr2 track, but the actual lyrics sung are not quite the same as the ones printed. [Thanks to waterhead for this information] Printed Lyrics excerpt: And she's a guide through the chaos, a road to the Passion Between the earth and sky where love is like a drug And as she looks into the window of heaven The windows of Heaven into the eyes of God she is FREE to face the Whirlwind FREE FREE FREE untamed (uncaged insane rearranged, like a panther running let loose in a Bladerunner world) All our lives in the Whirlwind blowin' FREE FREE FREE Artists: Phil Lesh Album: There and Back Again (2002) Track: Midnight Train Not sure what it means, but it is obviously something to do with Blade Runner. [Thanks to waterhead for this information] Lyrics excerpt: I spin around Headlights flashing in the pouring rain We run around Black lightning on the midnight train You question me I gesture and empires fall Waves roll on Through the windows in an empty hall oo-blade-runner Bardo Website: http://www.phillesh.net/ Artists: Fleshquartet Album: Fire Fire (1996) Track: Fading Like a Dream The ending of the song "Fading Like A Dream" from the album "Fire Fire" by Swedish group "Flesh Quartet" contains "will all this memories be lost in time like tears in rain". [Thanks to Nicklas for this information.] Website: http://www.primal.se/fleshquartet/ Artists: OMD Album: Junk Culture (1984) Track: Junk Culture This isn't directly related to BR. They both use the "Mexican Radio" sample. In BR, it is in Taffey's. Website: http://www.omd.uk.com/ Artists: Electric Hellfire Club Album: Electronomicon Track: Tannhäuser Gate A song about Blade Runner. [Thanks to Christopher for this information.] Lyrics except: There comes a time for each of us to make one last desperate stab...at life To search for truth among the broken dreams but it's never found...or so it seems to me Can we break free? And Each day I hope and pray... all these memories will be washed away All this sadness, all this pain Lost in time like tears in rain... Website: http://www.electrichell.com/ Synaesthesia - "Synaesthesia has so far been another project for Leeb and Fulber to explore their ambient ideas. Lush strings and tribal chants all flavouring the overall sound. But wait, the cover says all songs by R. Deckard. Both Bill and Rhys always maintain that the songs were written by the mysterious Mr Deckard but the albums are so clearly like their other material that this can't be true. More likely is that contractual agreements with other labels meant that a pseudonymous individual was created, and being that Bill is a big fan of Bladerunner why not call him R. Deckard! Other theories are that Chris Peterson is the mystery individual." (http://www.mindphaser.com/docs/synaesthesia.html) No word yet as to whether any of the songs explicitly mention Blade runner. Artists: Del the Funkee Homosapien, Dan the Automator Album: Deltron 3030 Track: 3030 The opening track on the album references a lot sci-fi movies, including The Matrix, Akira and Blade Runner. It's not exactly a major reference, but the word esper is used twice. Review: ***** I'm a big fan of the track, it's not particularly related to Blade Runner, but it's a good song nonetheless, off one of the only sci-fi albums I've ever heard. Lyrics Excerpt: Isn't eternal evil concerned with thievery Medieval prehistoric rhetoric well we ahead of that Lay it down with soundwaves that pound pavement Original minstrals my central processing unit is in tune with my heart for this art Not artificial cause that makes it hard to miss you Copycats finish last in the human race Staying glued to safes too prude to take a buddha break We got espers that let us bless with fresh shit Undetected by yes men questing for five fleeting nanoseconds of fame Protecting the brain from conspiracies against my cosmos While I float to Neo-Tokyo with Opio or discuss combusitible rust clusters with Plus Evade cyber police in a computer crib confuse the kids but I can make a kickin rhymes thats sacred Telepathic mind that takes its greatness from the Matrix Esper rhyme professor rushes in ultra pressures with correction measures Artist: Sique Sique Track: Sci-Fi Lover (The Cyberpunk Mix) This track features a bunch of BR samples, including the "Time to Die," some Tyrell dialogue, and some other assorted sci-fi samples, including stuff from The Matrix Review: **** A pretty track, with a nice 80's sound, and some well placed samples, as well as a strong message for fans of sci-fi. Apparently, "Inside every sci-fi lover's heart lies a rock and roll heart." You decide what that means. Website: http://www.sputnikworld.net/sputnikworld.php Artist: The Tyrell Corporation Track: Running 2000 This track is a single that is available on Amazon, but I'm unsure what the content of it is, and information about it appears to be difficult to find, but unlike Deckard, I will do some detecting.
