from Oannes *

Η κορυφαία ίσως στιγμή του κορυφαίου soundtrack του εκλιπόντος, αυτού για το Blade Runner – θα άξιζε να έχει πάρει το Όσκαρ γι’ αυτό αντί για το Chariots [το θέμα του οποίου έχει πηγάσει από προηγούμενό του στο Heaven And Hell – 1975].
Τo ‘Rachel’s Song’, παραδόξως, δεν ακουγόταν στο φιλμ, αν και συμπεριλήφθηκε στο soundtrack. Το οποίο, έπρεπε να περιμένει 10 χρόνια + από την ηχογράφησή του για να κυκλοφορήσει.

This to me is the highlight of the deceased’s top soundtrack, the one for Blade Runner – it would have been fair having gotten the Academy Award for it, instead of Chariots [the theme of which was derived from a previous one on Heaven And Hell – 1975].
‘Rachel’s Song’, surprisingly, was not heard on the film, although included on the soundtrack. Which, by the way, had to wait 10 years + to be released after its recording.

Enjoy!

As always, I’m happy to hear your thoughts, however I’d highly recommend a direct dialogue with the …’source’ [why comments are closed here], so please visit Oannes’ page where you can also listen to the music!

Together we have a band MK-O [the music of Marina Kanavaki & Oannes]. So, it’s my pleasure to share with you his [and sometimes mine] musical selections. • Do visit his site. He has my highest recommendation!
