still pretty urban, and the mail is much quicker in urban areas. enjoy

I'm on the same coast as Jason, in North Carolina and I got it today as well. Ordered it on release. I think I made a thread about this a while back, but mail from California takes 2 days to get here. But if I expect the same mail from say...Atlanta, it'll take 4-5 days.

[Trent Bennett]

Hopefully mine is here tomorrow which I suspect it will be. Depending on when they send it most packages get here 2-3 days from Cali.

[Bryant Burnette]

Didn't order mine until Wednesday, so I won't get it until next week. But I'm looking forward to this about as much as any soundtrack I've gotten since ... well, if we're talking strictly rereleases, it's probably tops on the list, ever.

[Wojo]

I ordered mine from SAE so it'll arrive sometime next week, and since it was shipped to my home, I'll get it next weekend.

I can't wait to listen to the remastered Inside Star Trek album!

Blume, I can mail something to my Mom in LR and she will get it in a day. She can mail me something back and I will get it in 2 or 3 days. It's small town America. But I'm in no hurry. I've waited 33 years for this what's a few days more.

I did check to see if mine had shipped and the order said pending review.

Well the money was taken out Wednesday from my bank, so naturally I was concerned.

a simple call ended my fears, the gentleman who I spoke to said pending review meant pending shipping and I'm still 600 down the list. Said it will ship Monday.

[Trent Bennett]

Yup mine did come today. Currently doing a custom edit for my iPod.

I'll be doing a full listen to of the main score tomorrow morning when my parents and I leave for Vegas.

[Miles Prower]

It's here. It's magnificent.

Good to see that a stimulating conversation has resulted from people getting their copies, eh? <_<

[Datameister]

How's this for stimulating?!

[Joey]

sweet

[ST-321]

My copy arrived today!

I haven't had the chance to listen yet. Did anybody else get an insert in a little cardboard envelope? It looks like something that should have an autograph on it, but of course does not.

[Miles Prower]

Yeah, I got that too. I'm keeping the 'FRIOM' insert though... it's amusing.

Read the spine of the copy you got carefully, then compare to the reprinted version you got in the envelope

[Miles Prower]

So, how about that awesome music, eh? I was surprised to hear brass in the opening of Spock's Arrival (revised version, both takes); never noticed that before on the '99 CD.

[OneBuckFilms]

Hearing the bells in the Main Theme at the end of Total Logic was great to hear.

Thanks! I've been pouring a lot of energy into my blog, so I'm not around here as much as I'd like to be.

A useful snippet of information thanks to Mike Matessino (posted on the FSM board):

The scores for the following cues say "Adapted by Fred Steiner" on them:

Goodbye Klingon
Goodbye Epsilon Nine
Pre-Launch
Warp Point Eight
Warp Point Nine
Meet V'ger
System Inoperative
Hidden Information
V'ger Speaks
A Good Start

Both "Star Trek TV Theme" cues say "Alexander Courage" and the various versions of "Love Theme" say "Jerry Goldsmith, arranged and orchestrated by Ian Fraser."

Mine is on the way...

STAR TREK TMP SHIPPING UPDATE

Glad you guys are enjoying this release. Things have been so busy between shipping out web orders and wholesale orders I didn't realize we blew through the first batch of cds (nearly half the run)! We have more on the way, but they are about 2 to 3 weeks out (a notice will be posted on our website shortly).

Any order for Star Trek placed after Thursday, June 7 at 10 pm pst (order #52600 and on, to be precise) is being put on hold until more cds come back in stock.

We sincerely apologize for this inconvenience but never in our 10 year history have we received so many orders for 1 title. It was our equivalent to the opening weekend of THE AVENGERS. lol

[OneBuckFilms]

That's just under 5,000 units sold.

After the next 5,000, that's it.

This one is very much a classic.

[Trent Bennett]

I do wonder how many copies went to speculators.... If this things sells out in a few months (which seems highly likely) I can see the speculators charging $60+ for it, which in my opinion is bullshit.

[OneBuckFilms]

La-La Land could have charged $60 themselves for it.

[Koray Savas]

5,000 in a week is pretty impressive. I might have to bite on this sooner rather than later.

[Jason LeBlanc]

Technically, it was 5,000 in 2 Days, 9 hours (June 7th at 10pm), as that's where their current cutoff is!

[Joey]

Mine has shipped so I'm happy.

[Blumenkohl]

Just some quick thoughts after listening to the first disc in total pitch black last night (HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!):

Goodbye Klingon/Goodbye Epsilon Nine/Pre-Launch

The anger, resolve, wonder and fear wrapped up into the last 30 seconds...

Spock Walk has always been a favorite "action" track of mine....and hearing it with the more prominent pianos lends it a more elegant and classical feel that just takes the whole cue up to another level for me.

In more general terms, despite all the music from the film added to the first disc, I still can't detect anything less than stellar. Every note is great and worth listening to. So you've got this base level of greatness and then you get tracks like "The Enterprise" which take you into "Oh My God, This Is Your Theme, Right?" territory. A truly wonderful musical experience, and that's just the first disc.

I'll post more thoughts as they come to me.

Mine has shipped so I'm happy.

WOO! Good feeling isn't it?

for years I've been lauding the dark test. it works, except for alex who thinks it's a dumb idea.

[Stefancos]

I just recieved my copy today. it looks great.

Am I the only one who recieved a spare print of the CD cover?

[Blumenkohl]

It's a scientific reality. When you turn down the other senses, the remaining one(s) is (are) heightened and more attuned to details.

It's the same idea behind turning down your car radio from full blast when you are lost and need to concentrate on say...street signs and the surroundings.

Nope, it's to replace the typo on the current case. I for one like the typo.

[Maurizio]

I think this is a score that really cries out to be listened to on a very good hi-fi system, with speakers blasting out loud (or, if you don't wanna scare your neighbors, with a good set of earphones). From what I gather, the LLL release sounds fantastic, hence it doesn't make sense to listen to it with crap computer speakers or lame portable earbuds. It would be like watching Lawrence of Arabia on a 13 inches monitor.

Yup...I had my AKG K702...a nice amp....all lights out....wife thrown out of the room....etc. etc. Really wonderful night. Though now she wants to try it out. So I'm the kicked out of my own office at home for one night.

Shoulda just done it on a sound system instead of high quality headphones...then we could romantically listen together . But I get a tad more detail out of the headphones and that's more important.

[Stefancos]

What typo?

[Blumenkohl]

Look on the spine of the jewel case as is.

[Stefancos]

Ok I see it now.

that is NOT a printer's error, btw!

[Jason LeBlanc]

How are you just hearing about the spine typo for the first time today? It's been mentioned on every forum repeatedly since the movie screening

[Stefancos]

I haven't been on the MB much at all this week.

You mind?

[Joey]

I sensed a disturbance in the force...by your absence.

[Stefancos]

This place can't last without me.

[Joey]

it is certainly not as fun.
