There's always some degradation (whatever the cause), even if it's too slight for us to notice. Just when I thought this thread was becomming boring, because everyone seemed to agree. Jeez. Can they ship the CD already so we can discuss something meaningful, like the unreleased 20 seconds or whatever and how they transform the score.

phbart 609 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 What if the 1 decided to go through a gender reassignment surgery to become a 0, and vice-versa? So 0s and 1s aren't necessary 0s and 1s anymore. We don't know what's going on under those millions of microscopic pits on a CD, how those 0s and 1s are feeling about themselves. Who are we to impose that 0 has to be 0, 1 has to be 1? We have to keep our minds open and let them be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phbart 609 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 The problem is that we were promised this year was gonna be "one for the books". So far, except for Schindler's List, which is only due in november or december, nothing much happened. A year ago tomorrow, on September 12th, E.T. was up for sale already, and I think word was out that CE3K was coming soon as well, or it was announced already. SPR is a great score, but not enough to be released in the last quarter of the "book year". It's kind of disappointing. bollemanneke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are still a few months left though, and I won't complain if some of the releases expected this year are released next year. The sooner the better though^ I'm sure it's been said by others, but these projects can get delayed and put in hybernation at the last minute waiting for some legal matter to be resolved and/or for someone in authority with a busy schedule to say "yes".

You're absolutely right. And the labels know that much better than us. That's why making such a statement so early in the year (feb 8th, Maestro's b-day) lead us to believe that whatever they were preparing was etched in stone already. Since MV is no newbie in the business, the expectations were high. Maybe he got ahead of himself too much on this. Anyway, let's hope the next three announcements will live up to his promise. 39 minutes ago, Bespin said: Well for me 2018, is not totally yet a "little" year!

Richard Penna 3,695 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 When they do eventually come out, Disney is gonna have a hell of a time explaining to Joe Public what the hell they are, in the sea of reissues, remasterings, SEs, album presentations and the UE. It's a mess. The last reissues don't help because the average consumer doesn't know or care about what rights were reverted back to whom. It's just.... yet another release. I should also clarify that my general apathy towards the SPR release has nothing to do with the 'for the books' comment or any disappointment of that kind. I just find it amusing that for a score a that a lot of people have said they found dull, the moment a MM 'expansion' is announced, suddenly the completists emerge. It's nice that it's happening; I just don't think it's worth the hype.

Since the score was released 20 years ago, there have been plenty of people who love the score, and plenty of people who don't. The people who love the score are excited for the expansion. The ones who don't are just polite enough to not threadcrap negative comments about the score in the thread, they are happy for the people who do like the score. Simple as that.
