Wow! I hope this rumor turns out to be true! Thanks for the link!
Here's what the page says:
Although final confirmation has yet to come in on this, fans will be glad to hear rumors within the music industry are buzzing frantically about Vangelis' upcoming Blade Runner related release.
It was late in June when word first broke Vangelis had been composing music for a new album related to Blade Runner, but it wasn't yet clear in which way this would be released. Here finally are some details, according to some very excited insiders.
The new release will be a deluxe set, commemorating the 25th anniversary of the Blade Runner movie. Described as a three CD package titled "Blade Runner Trilogy", the set is said to start with the Blade Runner soundtrack as we know it from the official 1994 release. The second disk would present both music from the film not previously released on LP or CD (the notorious bootlegs excepted), as well as music made for the movie at the time, which was neither used nor released in any shape or form. Finally, the third disk would be Vangelis' expected new album, inspired by and thematically linked to Blade Runner.
Personally, I think a lot of people were dreaming about unreleased music from the film finally appearing on CD, while others dreamt of Vangelis returning to the dark melancholic moods played on synthesizers that peeked on the popular Blade Runner soundtrack, by creating new music in the same vein, but I've never heard anyone who dared to openly dream about both of these at the same time... With early word being strongly positive about the results, this could be the answer to what literally everyone has been longing for.
Confirmation and more details expected soon... Expectations are that "Blade Runner Trilogy" will be released in December. Time to start writing those Christmas wish lists...

Well Elsewhere is a pretty reliable and informed site. If they are announcing it, I'd say its as good as gospel! 
Now if he would only do the same with 1492!

The second CD is what I want!

This is (potentially) tremendous, but I would've even welcomed news of a rerelease of the 90s Atlantic WITHOUT dialogue.

This is excellent news but also... not. If they really wanted to do this properly they'd chuck the first CD (the 1994 album) in the bin (most of us already have that anyway) and reconstruct the entire score from scratch. No dialogue, no sound effects, no inappropriate cross-fades.
Instead of that we get 1 disc we already have, 1 disc we don't actually need and 1 disc that a) won't make much musical sense being that it's only what isn't out already and b) you just KNOW they'll manage to cock up somehow.
I may sound ungrateful but... sigh... how hard can it REALLY be to release this landmark score properly? The "notorious bootlegs" (as they're referred to above) managed to at least approach the subject properly.
of course, it should be easy.
they should have a 2 CD Set of the full original score as heard in the movie.
And then have another 2 CD Set with unreleased cues and other extras.
Unfortunately, some person at the movie company still hasn't got the mental capacity to understand this!

The problem is you're thinking like a serious film music fan and not thinking like record execs who need to market an album to tens of thousands of Vangelis and Blade Runner fans. These groups include people who are not serious film music fans like us here and thus they will not support buying two 2-CD sets. They will want to know why and the record company will have the extreme extra cost of manufacturing two double sets for a mass market that will end confused and frustrated. In other words, ya gotta dumb it down...
well considering how much money they have spent on blade runner, reshooting new scenes, multiple versions. you would think since they did that, they would spend a bit on giving a complete score to the public.
Vangelis is a master, and his score is from another planet.
He is like a God!
We demand the full score!
