Is there some sort of Blade Runner theme?
With the release of 4Voice in 1993, Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner became the sample playground of choice for many FAX projects. 4Voice, The Fires of Ork, and Shades of Orion are only a few of the titles that contain samples from Blade Runner. In addition, the cover artwork for Miles Apart features a shot from the film. However, Blade Runner is not the only sample source for FAX releases, it just seems that way because of the higher number of samples used from that film. Other films sampled include Dune(sampled in Air II) and, most recently, The Matrix(lines of dialogue were used extensively on Namlook XV). Other sources besides films have been used as samples, including an answering machine(which makes an appearance on both Xangadix and A Day in the Park), a howling wolf(at various points throughout Air), and even the seashore(used to great effect in Music to Films).
