Memories of the Future. I was thinking about Blade Runner... [More:] ...and how one of the songs on the soundtrack Wiki link was familiar - and it was! It seems that a bit of the song "Junk Culture" by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark was also used in the "Salome's Dance" part of the BR soundtrack. This quote from OMD's official site says "The rhythm track used is from the Emulator library and was also used by Vangelis for the soundtrack to the film Bladerunner." Unfortunately, finding that song is difficult as it was left off of the official release and has only appeared on bootlegs, which is a shame if you don't have the Esper Double Disk Set, which also has a longer version of "Blade Runner Blues" on it as well.
You know, a copy of the Esper bootleg showed up (mysteriously!) on my hard drive after the Blade Runner discussion over on MeFi a while ago. It's fantastic, everything the official soundtracks should have been.

Thanks cool post. I can't get (Disc Two) (part 2) to unzip though.

Bless you, sonny. I found a copy of that somewhere else, but the mp3 encode was glitchy, with lots of noise and skips. It sounded way cool, but I couldn't stand to listen to it. So this rocks.

Strange - I just d/l'ed it and it opened for me, so it's not a transfer error. Here's a re-zip of it, but using no compression at all. If that doesn't work, I could always send a .rar file.

Yeah, I had the same problem with that file, but the replacement one works just dandy. Thanks!
