So now I own 4 copies....

That's completely impossible, since they used the OST master and didn't remix it. If you are talking about compared to the end credits of the film itself, I believe the film version opens with a different take than the OST version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh500 1,615 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 It's funny (funny and scary!) how people will blindly believe stuff that they are told, rather than trust their own senses. I can hear the difference, albeit a very slight one. Hell, I could even hear the difference in the samples, and listening to the actual CD only confirmed it for me. And that's not imagination.

There is no difference, can you at least compare the tracks yourself so you'll finally know that it is you, your imagination. Nothing was remastered, the contents of the OST were literally, COPY PASTED for this LLL release, there can't be ANY difference, not even a slight one or anything, ZERO DIFFERENCE, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. I'm gonna post the comparison for every track and I hope you'll finally believe me, that's incredible... rough cut 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Chewy 2,372 Posted October 1, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 1, 2018 @Josh500 Here you go, look at this carefully. I compared the first 10 tracks of the new LLL edition with the 1997 OST edition. I used the CD rips (that I did myself) for this comparison. Using Audacity, I zoomed in as much as I could so even the slightest difference would show up. Here are displayed the différences between OST and LLL tracks: Conclusion: the only differences we can see are located in the very beginning and ending of each track (less than 0.005s of difference for each track). Other than that, the LLL and OST edition are binary equal, meaning they sound absolutely the same. End of the discussion.

Popular Post MrJosh 892 Posted October 2, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 2, 2018 After getting this release, I really enjoyed making a chronological playlist and listening through in one sitting. I know it's not remastered or anything, but I think just the fact that buying this made me sit down and really listen to it, I enjoyed and appreciated it in a new way. In the past, I only have listened to the score in passing or while doing other things. I really love the horn and trumpet solos. I didn't know the trumpet players were up on the balcony when recording, so that was cool to learn from the liner notes.

I'd always noticed the stereo effect of the trumpets and made a vague connection to John Adams's Tromba Lontana - which also places two solo trumpets on opposing balconies - but good to know.

Brundlefly 2,385 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 What interests me is how you arranged the program of your LLL edition. Did you just rip the whole damn CD and listen to the OST, followed by the bonus tracks or did you arrange a C&C program (which is by the way much shorter than the OST)? I think I'll do the latter in order to make the presentation less redundant and to save the highlight until the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 7,458 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 I don't know, I don't have the reissue, and have no intention to. I'm satisfied with my old 98 release. The review was written by Nils, one of our writers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,271 Posted November 19, 2018 Author Share Posted November 19, 2018 Chronological order is the way to go for this score, no doubt.
