In 1981 , Vangelis collaborated with director Ridley Scott to score his science fiction film , '' Blade Runner '' ( 1982 ) . Critics have written that in capturing the isolation and melancholy of Harrison Ford 's character , Rick Deckard , the Vangelis score is as much a part of the dystopian environment as the decaying buildings and ever-present rain . The score was nominated for a BAFTA and Golden Globe award . A disagreement led to Vangelis withholding permission for his recordings to be released , so the studio hired musicians dubbed the New American Orchestra to release orchestral adaptations of the original score . After 12 years , Vangelis ' own work was released in 1994 but is considered incomplete as the film contained other Vangelis compositions that were not included . In 2007 , a box set of the score was released to commemorate the film 's 25th anniversary , containing the 1994 album , some previously unreleased music cues , and new original Vangelis material inspired by '' Blade Runner ''
