Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep AKA Blade Runner-Foley

I could probably make some crack about Vangelis here, but why would I want to do that? I love his original soundtrack to a film that I sometimes (depending on the day) might rank in my top 10 movies of all time. But this isn't the Vangelis soundtrack, so all the naysayers need not chirp up. Instead, this is simply all the background noise of the film. You know, things like space ships flitting about, things burning, bleeps and blorps, etc. It might sound dumb, but it's no dumber than any noise project that you would listen to. In fact, it's really quite a relaxing read. I wouldn't be surprised if several listeners fell asleep during it.

  1. Thought you were talking about Chariots Of Fire there for a minute ; ) If my stupid internet connection ever starts working again for more than two minutes at a time I'll give this a listen. I could really do with a decent night's sleep.

  3. Yeah, I always liked their 7"s but the $5 cdrs of weird shit might be a bit more fun. And happy new year to you too.

  4. hah in a terrible drunken slip, i told someone that this was an aldous huxley novel... whoops! if you didn't know it, there's also a pretty fun screen saver that was developed using this ideal of breeding and crossing "sheep" as digital code, google "electric sheep" and be prepared to thank me later.

  5. It's a pretty cool concept. I haven't tried it out yet, but I like what I'm reading about it.

  6. Actually there's quite a bit of Vangelis in there, which is no bad thing. This is really nice, a slightly different journey from the soundtrack. Where did it come from?
