i have found cool things like i found a Bladerunner Tyrell/Rep Detect Patch Set on e-bay that says "more human than human" and that is a Rob Zombie song. also if you start playing Pink floyd's wish you were here when you see the tree in the begining of the directors cut it seems to go with it nicely but i may just be stoned. Please list any thing that you think is interesting.

Firstly, welcome to bladezone!! Secondly, yes, Mr Zombie did bace his song on that quote from Blade Runner (correct me if I am wrong). Also, by the 'tree at the beginning', do you mean the LADD company logo (which has some nice music by Jerry Goldsmith)? Thats on the original cut too. _________________ <IMG SRC="http://www.bladezone.com/contents/film/image-library/Thumbs/1604758_Taffey.jpg" BORDER="0"> "Louie. The man is dry."

Time to Die..." is built around that quote from the film. Artists: Revolting Cocks "We Shall Cleanse the World" from the album "Big Sexyland" is based on, and contains samples from the movie "The Omega Man." "Attack Ships on Fire" is on the same album, but the only SF connection seems to be the title. Artists: The Stranglers The album "The Gospel According to the Meninblack" is about a race of people from another planet that is raising humans on Earth for their food. Considering there are over 5 billion people now, they should be very happy. The Meninblack are first introduced in the song "Meninblack" on the album "The Raven". See also "Rockit to the Moon", a B-side. There's also a song, "Time to Die" which seems to be based on Roy Batty's "Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion..." speech. Artist: Kim Wilde Album: "Teases And Dares" (1986) Track: "Blade Runner" Somehow related to Ridley Scott's movie; the song features samples from the film. Reportedly this track was a song about Zhora's death. 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.

His song "Northern Lights" contains a sample from the flickering light - a sound effect from BR (the one in Leon's Bathroom) Artists: Blue Floyd Album: ? In their adaptation of the Pink Floyd song "Young Lust", they use a sample from the scene where Roy Batty finally meets Tyrell. 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 Voigt-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) 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, Dune and Hellraiser I and II, and others.

Company Flow Album: Easy Listening for Armageddon (1997) Track: Bladerunner Rap music; seems to be inspired by and using samples from the movie Artists: Jam & Spoon Album: Tripomatic Fairytales 2002 Track: "V. Angel is Calling" (Get it? Get it? <IMG SRC="/forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif"> ) Note: more information on whether this is Vangelis/Blade Runner related is needed. All help is welcome. Artists: Orbital Track: Bladerunner [No further information available] Looks like mainly the techno-scene (from true artists to hitparade crapmakers) is heavily influenced by this movie. <IMG SRC="/forum/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif"> _________________ "We need ya, Deck!"<A HREF="http://forum.br-insight.com" TARGET="_blank">Blade Runner Insight Forum</A> [ This Message was edited by: BR796164 on 2002-05-14 09:31 ]
