Bladenner (Westwood Edition Redux)

Fanmade edition of Frank Klepacki's soundtrack for the Westwood PC game Blade Runner. This is NOT from the actual CD; to my knowledge that hasn't yet made the rounds online. Track list: 01. Remorse (0:55) (Looped and faded at the end) 02. Solitude (1:16) 03. Main Titles (3:47) 04. Battle Theme (2:23) 05. Late Call 06. Etsuko Theme (1:20) 07. Animoid Row (3:23) (Faded last 13 seconds) 08. (Unknown Cue) (0:23) 09. Awakenings (0:25) 10. Love Theme (4:51) 11. One More Time, Love (2:55) 12. Bradbury Building (2:40) 13. By Invitation Only (2:28) 14. Dektora's Dance (1:57) 15. (Unknown Cue) (1:35) 16. Enigma Drift (1:24) 17. Blade Runner Blues (8:55) 18. Taffy's Club (1:33) 19. The Eyes Follow (1:33) 20. Taffy's Club 2 (1:39) 21. Put Your Hands On Me (1:11) 22. Bounce (3:58) 23. Good Night (3:43) 24. Gothic Club (1:37) 25. Gothic Club (1:36) 26. Credits (4:47) Tracks 3, 4, 6, 10, 12, 17, 18, 20 and 22-26 are 128kbps stereo MP3s extracted directly from the flash files on www.FrankKlepacki.com All others mono converted from the original game disc. -Converted to .wav using Game Audio Player -encoded to FLAC level 8 compression I used the sequence and track names from Frank's page, inserting the game rips where they sounded like they'd fit. Most if not all are probably not chronologically placed. I reduced some of the noise on 'One More Time, Love' because it was really irritating. I don't know if it sounds so bad intentionally, to simulate an old transistor radio, or if it's just a casualty of Westwood's .aud compression scheme. If anyone would like to try to do a better job, losing less of the treble in the actual music, the original unfiltered file is included. Also included is 'Ending', a 19 second alternate 'Credits/End Titles' from the game; I couldn't find a suitable spot for it. I would guess it's the cue that plays if you die, but it's been so long since I've played it I can't even remember if you can die. 'Opening' from the webpage consists of 'Awakenings' and 'Solitude' back-to-back in 1 mono file, and sounds like just the in-game files. I used the game rips because they're not lossy (not that you'd probably notice). I'm curious as to why at least 'Main Titles' wasn't included in the Westwood Edition soundtrack, while tracks lasting less than one minute were. There's also some differences in the titles, as noted here: Westwood tracklist comparison: 1. Running Along The Blade 2:21 -webrip 'Battle Theme' 2. 4th Sector 1:37 -webrip 'Taffy's Club 2' 3.

Any of the 'Club' tracks or the longer unknown cue might be these tracks. If you've got a copy of the original CD, please share it! There are geeks out here that would really appreciate it : ) Frank, if you read this, please at least put the rest of the tracks on your page, hmm? A quick aside: there's three audio clips in amongst all the sound effects from BR that consist of commentary on certain locations in the game. I'm too lazy to actually reinstall the game at the moment, does anyone recall if this was something normally accessible in the game or was it an easter egg?

I've been looking for Frank Klepacki's score for the Blade Runner game for years...I'll seed this for at at least a month if it downloads.
Thanks for putting this up!

No one seems to be seeding this...I've had the torrent downloaded for a few hours and it's not doing anything.
