I said Saving Private Ryan AND Schindler's List. I'm happier about these two releases put together that I am about Dracula, yes. And the reason I stated above. That said, I'm happy about this release too, naturally! Gotta listen to Dracula more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jay 37,372 Posted October 22, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 22, 2018 Wowee almost forgot this was being announced today. SO glad this is finally coming out, because it's wonderful. Jim Titus' artwork is once again just incredible, I was blown away when I first saw it. Varese went all out here to make this really special with lots of pictures and other art and lengthy liner notes all wrapped up in Jim's great art design. And of course Mike did amazing work on the audio, which you can tell right away from the samples. I'm glad this is out in time for Halloween!

Because MM's liner notes are in the booklet proper, right? Or does the "book" contain further notes on the movie making or scoring process?

The Bat Attack is an album track that contained two cues: Mina Impaled and The Bat Attack. Each cue is now in their own track, with the Bat Attack cue now called The Attack to avoid confusion with the album track. Yavar Moradi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
