Sometimes I wish that there was a way to create decade charts with albums recorded in that decade even if released in another decade. That would certainly make for more accurate decade charts and year charts in a way, but it would provide other problems. For sure That Misfits archival album Static Age would go on my 1970s chart, and this would certainly fit nicely on my 1980s chart. Still is good enough to be on 1990s chart. Anyway, yeah. Would also make my 1930s chart look amazing and be basically a repeat of what you can find on my 60 Shades of the Deep Blues Custom chart.
Not sure why I lead with that. I probably should say something about my thoughts on this album. Its great, excellent, fantastic even. It is maybe the greatest movie soundtrack album I've ever heard (never been a fan of listening to soundtracks, so not much competition) and as a distinct work of art it holds its own as one of the most fragile, wonderful, sad and contemplative records I think I've ever heard. This opinion I am sure is due also to having a fondness for the film and loving how the music manages to compound with the brilliance and thought-provoking themes of the film. This is an album easy to get lost in and one that makes me think deeply about uncomfortable and quite daunting things and concepts. That is even true in the middle portions of the album where there is no dialogue taken from the film to push to the forefront of your mind the concepts. The instrumentals are so achingly sad and lost.
Tracks that stick out are here, despite the whole thing flowing beautifully. Namely I consider "Rachel's Song" to be the most beautiful thing I've heard in a long, long while. - such a masterful piece. Other tracks like "Memories of Green", "Tales of the Future", "Wait for me", "Blush Response", "Blade Runner Blues" and the end run where the film's iconic dialogue comes back in is stunning and a perfect way to wrap up this album. One of the greatest Ambient and electronic albums I've heard. Truly adore it and I am glad I have revisited it. Essential listening for sure. [First added to this chart: 08/26/2021]

This was cool. I haven’t seen the movie and I usually skip soundtracks of things I’ve never seen or played. But I guess I was intrigued because the cover doesn’t look like an anime and the description seemed interesting. And it was. I liked the mix of pop and classical and those cool choral parts and it’s all very pretty. But I can’t say I really REALLY liked it. It was good to play in the background and on occasion peeking up when the strings come in with a beautiful melody and a dramatic part. The vocals and the pop singing was alright, kinda silly and not my cuppa, but generally well done. I am glad I heard this. Gave it a 3/5 on RYM. Not likely to be returned to nor on any charts (maybe 1997 charts because year charts are really just me keeping track of everything heard up until I’ve heard 101 albums - only happened with 3 years -1969, 1977, 2021). If I ever watch the film, I may return to this bad boy so I get the context and emotional resonance more. RYM’s obsession with Japanese soundtracks both games and anime is weird. I don’t really get it. Maybe just a high high incidence of Japanese culture fans… forget the name for that, weeb? I don’t recall. Anyway, this non-review ends… now!
