Giftheck 916 Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Did you have any time to listen to it yet? Any comments would be nice.KarolI've compared some of the sample tracks to what's in the boot and it appears like they are indeed remastered. In fact, the method of remastering is not unlike one I used to use in Adobe Soundbooth for my own edits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie 1,059 Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Why?I bought the first one, the Varese Club, blindly. I saw the first film when it first came to video and was never impressed by the actual film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,287 Posted September 1, 2013 Author Share Posted September 1, 2013 So why didn't you pick up the OST for the sequels? My arrived Friday. I haven't listened to it yet but I just read the booklet. Some good observations made inside, but they don't explain what the Fluke or Kerry Walsh songs are all about. Can't wait to listen!

crocodile 7,984 Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Fluke was the track playing where all the Zion people are dancing at the temple and Neo and Trinity are having sex. Kerry Walsh track is the source music playing in the Merovingian's restaurant.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,287 Posted September 1, 2013 Author Share Posted September 1, 2013 Stefan is wrong, its a fantastic looking and (based on the samples) sounding release, containing the complete score and some nice alternates, some of which we had never heard before.The fact that the booklet doesn't mention anything about those 2 songs is just a curiosity, not a mark against it.

Giftheck 916 Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 How do you know?If you're asking me, that is because I performed a test remaster on concurrent tracks in the promo and the result is practically identical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marian Schedenig 8,173 Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Weren't the existing releases troubled with exaggerated loudness?

Smeltington 1,436 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Listened to the set this weekend. I hadn't heard the boot, so most of it was new to me. At first listen, I think I still like the Juno Reactor vs Don Davis tracks the best... the two of their styles mesh so well. I wouldn't have minded if they collaborated on more tracks. Still, the Davis-only material was fun and I'm looking forward to exploring it further.This is the first time I've gotten an autographed CD from Lalaland, so that's exciting too And both composers' comments were amusing. Pretty colorful when you're more used to hearing Williams discuss the composing process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dixon Hill 4,232 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 This is pretty off-topic but I feel compelled to share it. On Reddit right now, there is a "Did you know anyone growing up who is now famous?" thread going on, and buried deep down, are these comments.Yeah, my dad is a composer and wrote the music for The Matrix trilogy. He is not a people person.He's the kind of guy who knew what he wanted to do when he was 14 or something and stuck with it his whole life. And it shows. If you like opera at all you should look into his Rio de Sangre, it's pretty interesting (though it has some uncomfortable parallels to his opinions of his immediate family...)It's really annoying that he's retired. He's so great at making music and he's only really happy/fulfilled when he's writing. Dealing with him when he's not happy is tough but I'm out of the house now and he's in Canada so I can just spend my thoughts appreciating his talents instead.Retired?
