Vangelis elevates the movie from a notably pretty noir to a metaphysical epic. For my money it is the most extraordinary and moving soundtrack of all time.

I agree. Zimmer is a competent composer and even an old school analogue synthesizer guy, but he doesn’t have the sentimentality of Vangelis (RIP).
