Most of the new stuff doesnt really come to the level what these were able to accomplish. Stuff that I didnt pay attention earlier now have gotten the regal treatment and to say the least rediscovering them is such a delight and a treat. Ā TOTAL RECALL is one of my favourite adrenline charged scores from Goldsmith;Ā the purchase of the Vinyl is totalyĀ from a nostalgicĀ point of view and to enjoy the artwork whereas the 2nd CD is a repurchaseĀ for both the new artwork and because my previous cds are getting worn out with scratches! -I have played this a lot.

Ā I don't use it anymore, I bought an external one. Ā And well, I bought an used CD to replace the original. It annoyed me a lot, because it was one of the firstĀ CDs I bought in the early 90s.

So, I can be wrong, but I think compilations suitĀ him very well. Ā Anyway, it's my Christmas gift from me to me, that I will receive in January, because I didn't want my shipping got stuck in the Christmas crazyness.Ā Some of the CDs will only be reissued late December, so that's a perfect timing for me!

That's the main attraction of the release. Don't even take disc 3 out of the case until after you've listened to the mainĀ program a few times and like it. It's pretty much the normal bonus track assembly most expansions get, just on its own disc.Ā Then disc 4 is just the original OST album for those who like that short presentation.Ā Ā Jurassic Shark and bespinGPT 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
