I could be wrong, but I think the soundtrack has been available for some
time on a Vangelis compilation called "Themes" (I believe); it was a
collection of tracks from his movie work, and it had quite a few of the
original "Blade Runner" pieces. Anyone out there have any more info on
this?

Muslimgauze are quite fucking cool. Zul'm, for those who were asking,
is indeed a little more chilled-out and it also features a few techno
drum loops, but I wouldn't call it techno. It is excellent headspace
music though - if you want to hear a little more "authentic" version
of Sven Vath's "Ritual Of Life", Muslimgauze is it.
