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.

your friend is misinformed. Muslimgauze is one british guy named Bryn
Jones and he is really into the pro-Palestinian cause; it's not just
image.
