Blade Runner 2049 (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) by Hans Zimmer
Blade Runner 2049 (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is Hans Zimmer's release from 2017, a cinematic score built to carry a story. It runs to 94 minutes across 24 tracks on Epic Records. I reached it late and it has stayed with me.
Why listen?
The music is cinematic and patient, themes stated and turned over until they settle. The arrangements move between hush and swell, built to carry weight without words. It rewards close listening and works just as well in the background.
Favourite piece: Mesa
Mesa is the track I return to, the clearest statement of what the album is doing. It is worth the price of the record on its own.
Key takeaway
Blade Runner 2049 (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is a fine place to start. Recommended.
