I've never actually seen the remake but thought about picking it up before and just never got around to it. I think it's outstanding, very close to the original soundtrack of which only a mono bootleg survives, with very good soundquality capturing the bleakness better then most "concertized" re-recordings do.

A24 4,331 Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 I should warn you, it's out of print and Amazon sellers are selling it ridiculously expensive ($70).

And get Home Alone II if you don't already have it. NeilVery interesting. Can't wait to see what's announced. Unfortunately I did make the purchase. Ended up just getting Fahrenheit 451 for now. They normally announce when a particular cd is down to about 500 correct? If so, then I have some time on Heartbeeps. I've been rather crazy with soundtrack purchases lately. Picked up Earthquake as well as The Poseidon Adventure off Ebay this week in addition to my monthly purchase off of Amazon. Orson is desperately trying to make up for lost time.In regards to Home Alone 2, I have been very curious about that. Back in Febraury I was lucky enough to find an original copy at the mall for about $10. Then I saw the 2 cd set over at Varese and wondered if I should get that as well. Do you have both editions Neil? I assume it's still worth getting either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
