Richard Penna 3,694 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 They sent me two Searching for Bobby Fischers. Turns out I clicked it twice without knowing.I somehow managed to do that when ordering The X-Files: Fight the Future earlier in the year.Thing is, it was part of a reasonably hefty order, so I simply didn't notice that the price was $20 or so over. When the package arrived however, there was only one, so I just e-mailed LLL and they refunded the extra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh500 1,615 Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 So comparing the sound quality between AITW on the OS album and the LLL version (same track). What has changed? Less bass on the LLL, maybe, but has the sound quality really gotten that much better? I don't know.I never thought the OS album sounded bad to start with, but then I'm far from an audiophile...

King Mark 3,631 Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I can't hear a dramatic difference, only that the highs on the LaLaLand are a bit clearer. That bassy opening section of Abandonned in the Woods sounds about the same on the Promo and LaLaLandA few people have complained about the "muddy bass" on the OST (marian, Publicist..) but it never really stood out to me.

publicist 4,643 Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Bass is about the same but the separation of instruments is better. Like on MINORITY REPORT it's a recording problem that probably makes for a more voluminous sound in 60-channel Dolby cinemas but as pure music recording it's about the opposite of what i like (wall of sound).Though with AI's reliance on many quiet or mid-range parts it isn't harming the score whole.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 The OST is one of the worst sounding JW cd's.Do you have the new AI set Alex? How is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,340 Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I only have the OST. The strange sound has become a part of music. It's almost as if we are listening to a recording from another dimension where everything is very similar yet slightly different. Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
publicist 4,643 Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Apart from sound i can only urge anyone interested in that sound world Williams created for A. I. too buy LLL's release. It's in the end too comprehensive, as these things tend to be, so that you have to invest time to arrange it to be more of a listening experience but the way it unfolds is 10x as gripping as the needle drop WB release. crocodile 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With A.I., I've complained about the muddy everything.I've got an extra Wind and the Lion and Shaft to sell off eventually too because I accidentally clicked them twice.I have two John Goldfarb, Please Come Homes because I mistakenly ordered it a second time after I already had it.

Jay 37,369 Posted June 27, 2015 Author Share Posted June 27, 2015 It's not like these specialty labels have the option of doing those big scores and then choose AI or Rosewood instead. They would happily do any scores the rights-holders would let them.You're not gonna see Disney farming out their Lucasfilm properties to a specialty label, nor Universal their JP scores. Sadly.

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 It's not a fully joyful piece. I find it to be a false joy, as if the music is in on the plot to create an artificial fantasy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
