4 stars The question is, is there a big possibility that soundtracks are bought by people who haven't seen the movie, or even don't know about it at all ? I don't think so at all. Then we have to assume that majority of these people will buy soundtrack BECAUSE they love/like/ consider the film (a good one). So we can continue to connected topic - music and film are in soundtrack work together. Be sure I wouldn't enjoy Diablo II. soundtrack (can recommend very much) a lot, if I'll never be to play the game. But I did, for hundreds of hours.

And I saw Blade Runner few times, from various reasons (be it that I'm sci-fi fan, like dystopic future and everything by Philip K. Dick [except Valis, because Valis is just weird. I mean too weird, even more crazy than A Scanner Darkly], so we have a triple here - book>film>music. And all three are influencing each other. Or we should take them separately ? I don't think so. And for sure I don't want to), for example these that I stated in brackets. So big deal here is so called atmosphere. Music perfectly fits and accompanies images. Of course, this is review of MUSIC, but can we deny this influencing of each other (type of media) ? I gave 3-something stars to Flash Gordon. And I intend to give this album more. Personally, I like it far more than his other ones, because of these sounds made it to big silver screen, they are real and so they have depth. Bigger depth.

4(-) for exceptional electronic atmosphere album. Maybe more like 3-stars, but you know.
