Like Like many others, I've loved this movie and soundtrack for years. I was excited to hear that a newly mastered SACD of one the incredible music was going to be made available, and from an audiophile company no less. I've read a couple of reviews here that say that it's not SACD because it doesn't have surround sound (which is just ignorant), or that the sound quality is inferior to previous CD versions. I can't account for how someone would come to that conclusion. When the SACD layer is played on a properly configured SACD player, this disc is in another league compared to any previous Blade Runner soundtrack release. I had high hopes for the sound, but this disc exceeded them. Dynamic range (loud vs soft) and frequency response (highs to lows) are both markedly improved. It manages to simultaneously render the individual sounds and the space around them with more clarity and yet create a more cohesive overall soundstage. In short, it's a different experience. The disc manages to take you deeper into a recording that you may already be very familiar with and starkly reveals how incredible the music and production really is. I didn't listen for very long to the CD layer of this disc. It's created from the same remastering and sounds better than the previous CD, but the benefits I describe are far more apparent on the SACD layer. Especially if you have an SACD player, this SACD disc is very highly recommended!Read full review
