Which is very neatly mixed with (goa) trance by Paul Oakenfold in his 'The Goa Mix' a-side, orig. broadcast in 1994 [1] (other versions exist as well). https://www.discogs.com/release/3016836-Paul-Oakenfold-The-G...

For anyone interested in the world of analog synths, now is the time to jump in. The hobby is starting to get affordable enough for everyone, but elitist enough that you'd be fooled into thinking that synth owners spend a lot of money on their hobby. Joking aside, the Yamaha CS-80 sound that built Vangelis' career is easily a $60,000 synthesizer today, but you can still get 90% the same sound from a $600 Behringer De…
Dillinja produced a fantastic track by sampling the score - "The Angels Fell" [MET006, 1995] One of my all-time favourite jungle/drum&bass tracks :-) https://metalheadz.bandcamp.com/track/the-angels-fell-2015-r...
It's awesome. I had this CD: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grooverider_Presents:_The_Prot... Contains another Dillinja track that also has Blade Runner samples.
I'm particularly fond of the soundtrack editions which overlay Vangelis' music with city background noise, bits of dialog, and other atmospherics from the appropriate scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3fz6CC45ok I don't know what this version is properly called; however I used to listen to a similar (but shorter, perhaps one hour long) version called the 'Esper Edition'. Give it a listen, while you read the art…
You might enjoy this classic site - youarelisteningtolosangeles.com - ambient music overlaid with live police chatter. The creator has made other versions since; the Quebec one is nice if you want a different language.
a little spooky to hear about someone being talked down off the golden gate bridge
doubly spooky during the Giants-world-series riots
Oh wow, scrolling up/down with 2 fingers on a trackpad makes the pages fly by horizontally insanely fast.... You'd have to be a replicant to read it.

Which track? Silver Blade uses "Boymerang - Soul Beat Runna" as the source

I'm very much in that boat myself! Zero synth or really even musical experience, picked up a Korg Prologue on a lark from a local CL seller. Do you have any recommended introductory resources? Right now I'm focusing on learning the basic modulation the synth offers alongside some very basic music theory to get a grasp on chords/melodies/etc.
After that, it's mostly up to you. There are hundreds of niches in both sound design and music theory, all of them with their own unique quirks to learn. Let your sense of curiosity guide you, and you'll definitely find something interesting. You should probably look into getting some DAW software if you want to compose full tracks, and a DAC would allow you to record off the Prologue into your computer. It really is an open-ended hobby besides that.
The only other piece of advice I like to give is to temper your expectations. The process of learning music theory and sound design is long, and everyone makes a lot of garbage when they're starting (much like programming). Unlike programming, I find the process of sound design to be pretty therapeutic, and many nights I'd find myself sitting in front of my modular rack instead of watching TV or playing games with friends. Everyone's relationship with it will be a little different, but nobody should be overly critical of their own work. Do whatever is fun to you, and let the inspiration follow.
