If you want to bundle these new releases with Intrada's new releases, you actually have AT LEAST FOUR online retailers you can do that with - one of them already based in Europe!http://www.moviemusic.com/http://www.musicbox-records.com/en/http://www.screenarchives.com/http://store.intrada.com/(though they haven't put entries into their website for the LLL titles yet) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the time and resource, human work spent on this could have gone into a new unreleased expansion.All this time, resources and human work would be well spent if it had happened like in 5 years more, like 10 after the first release.In my opinion.Still is better than nothing, but...

filmmusic 1,826 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 I can't believe no one is discussing all the cool new instruments in Star Of Bethlehem! Well, in the sample I can hear only one more instrument. (maybe there's more down the road?)Probably a synth to sound like orchestral bells or something.Somehow similar to the one we hear in the very start of the film.By the way, if I'm not mistaken this is an alternate performance, right?I mean it's not the previous one with the addition of instrument(s) on top..

JasonTHX 21 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 These samples sound great. One thing that bothered me regarding the 2010 disc was the way the triangle "dings" all sounded flat and dulled out. And of course, this was a score that featured quite a lot of "dings."I'm wondering If I ordered this now, would it arrive in Canada by Christmas week? I'm still waiting for my Jaws disc.

All the same, your response to our moderator Incanus speaks for itself.And you may react as you do - with which i respectfully agree, up to a point, but when i think a business practice stinks, and there are by now countless examples, the BATMAN's by the very same label being a flagship, i say so and honestly find the yammering that ensues (not only in this thread, there are precedents here) irritating. You now enter FSM and find that even mild criticism of labels like Intrada or LLL is often followed by a merciless hunt-em-down attitude towards the 'nest-foulers'. But as far as i can see, people can still merrily re-buy stuff for the fifth time, nobody is denying them that. So what exactly is the problem eludes me, gruesome language excepted.

But I also have the Special Edition remaster and it sounds fucking terrible. Some dickhead put what was already perfect sounding audio through the loud machine and ruined it.So why bother changing it when they could just repackage the old master? It was crystal clear in 1983, so why not now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 The Michael Jackson remastered CDs are all too loud and compressed. The original CD releases are superior.
