I'm going to lose it if this score does not get a proper cd release! Anybody with me?
How 'bout you just stop fighting change like a crabby old man and embrace the fact that CDs are only going to become more and more sparse and soon be gone altogether?
Kinda reminds me of the stuffy old bastards still clinging to 35mm versus digital cinematography... They've become parodies of themselves.
Hell, I am a crabby old man. I actively fought for vinyl for many years and things have changed. Now, I accept cd's, but I do not listen to music at my computer, i will never buy any dee-vice to carry around my person and stick ear plugs in my head either- unlike other people I do not listen to music at work- I work, When I listen to music- I listen to music.
So, I will never embrace anything that is not real-it's all in the ether. Physical product when it comes to music- is a must for me. Disc- Cover- Artwork-Liner notes- that I don't have to read off of a screen or print out?!?
Have you stopped buying cd's? Has everyone on this board? Are there other crabby old men out there? I'm 51, but have always been a crabby old man.
Hey, anybody wanna see my download collection? Hey, take a listen/look at my SPOTIFY-or whatever the hell- stuff? Yeah, that sounds great.
Lemmings!

This 29 year old still prefers CDs, though he's been known to buy a download occasionally.

What people endlessly complaining about digital audio seem to be unable to acknowledge is that many of these scores would NEVER have gotten ANY kind of release before digital.
The music would simply not have been available - too small-scale, too obscure, no market.
This is the most important fact about digital - more music is available than ever before because it is genuinely easier and cheaper to make it available.
Would you rather have digital or nothing? If the answer is nothing, here's a bagful.

Thank you Yavar. By the way- youz a genius. I love your posts and learn a lot from reading them.
I'm sure that all our beloved labels: INTRADA, LaLa Land, Kritzerland, QUARTET, Varese, Digitmovies, et al would not be happy with us all sitting back and plugging into the machine and downloading albums. I would like to think that most serious music fans and collectors of film scores would prefer a beautifully packaged INTRADA or KRITZERLAND cd than a download.
The lemmmings comment about it being inevitable that cd's will no longer exist soon is so passive and weak. Vinyl is not going anywhere- so why should cd's? Something I'm sure SAE, Dusty Groove, Movie Music and other retailers, and all above labels would not agree with and would not just lay back and let happen without a fight.

By the way, not speaking of you, Yavar. And I'm an agnostic, I buy both, but all things being equal prefer CDs. Except that the $10 price point for digital is a heluva lot more attractive than $24 bucks a shot for CDs (with shipping).
And I'm 53 and crabby as they come.

Again you miss the point. This isn't digital vs. CD. This is digital vs. NOTHING. They probably make more money on the digital than they would on the NOTHING.
So if the point is supporting the artist, NOT buying the download sure ain't doing it.

Thanks for the complement, MCurry...I'm glad to hear my posts are appreciated!

And I'm enjoying it very much right now through Spotify. (If I enjoy something enough on Spotify, I often purchase it to have in my own collection.)
I know, I know, sacrilege! The difference of course is that I get to hear the music, which I've always mistakenly thought was the point.
By the by - it's endlessly amusing to me that digital Luddites scream on about the inadequacy of digital downloads on a, you know, digital chat room, using a digital, you know, computer device.
You would think they'd be exchanging their complaints by post typed on their Selectrics, I mean their Underwoods, I mean written on foolscap with their fountain pens, I mean on parchment with their quills, I mean etched into the furlin' Rosetta stone fer crissake!
Edit: oops, forgot.

Just saw this in an old thread: JOHAN SODERQVIST's words- All I'm sayin.
Luddite. Nethery is funny!
GH: You’re releasing the soundtrack to Kon-Tiki on your own. Why did you decide to follow this path?
JS: I think that releasing worthwhile soundtracks has become harder and harder in the last few years. I could simply put up the music for download at my site, but considering the hours, the days and the weeks I put into a score, I want to see something in return. There’s of course digital distribution (Kon-Tiki will have an online release too), but that’s missing a very important part of the equation. I feel that in order to earn your money from a soundtrack release, you should give something special to the buyers. I’m talking about things that can’t be ripped or downloaded, extras that make the soundtrack much more than a CD in a slipcase.
GH: What will this entail in the case of Kon-Tiki?
JS: The physical edition of Kon-Tiki will have several bonus features not available in the online release. We’ll have a CD that’s a traditional soundtrack: an hour’s worth of the best cues, arranged in a musically satisfying experience. There will also be a Blu-ray, which will contain the music in 5.1, in film chronology, and some bonus cues that didn’t fit on the regular CD. All this is housed in a neat package, with an extensive, richly illustrated booklet and liner notes detailing the historical journey, the making of the film, the creation of the score and a complete, chronological discussion of the film. If all goes well, the Blu-ray will also contain some additional extras (perhaps some video bonuses), but I don’t want to speak too soon as we’re still working on the assembly. I envisioned the Kon-Tiki album as a journey that follows in the path of Thor Heyerdahl and I hope the listeners will find the same thing.
