The Acoustic Sounds Super HiRez online store has both Jaws 2 and Jaws 3D For download. Both albums are from Geffen Records. I am stoked for Jaws 2 as that has been missing from my collection for over 6 years and I miss it greatly.    Posted:   Jul 12, 2015 - 9:44 AM     By:   T.J. Turner   (Member) Yeah I'm tempted by Jaws 2 even though the contents are exactly the same as the Varese release. Also Geffens reissue of Jurrasic Park wasn't worth the hires release because the mastering was poorly done.    Posted:   Jul 12, 2015 - 10:25 AM     By:   djintrepid   (Member) I downloaded Jaws 2 from HDTracks, since they have a 15% off discount for new releases. I don't have a point of reference for comparison, but I do remember the original Varese Sarabande CD sounded good. I've listened to the entire album and my opinion is that it sounds really good. I did not detect any anomalies, and the recording is dynamic and natural sounding. I'm glad I finally have a copy of this fantastic score again. Now all I need is a good version of Jaws. For those that don't receive emails from HDTracks, the discount code is HDJULY10. It is good until the end of today.    Posted:   Jul 12, 2015 - 11:15 AM     By:   Traveling Matt   (Member) The original Jaws 2 disc has excellent sound, even by today's standards. Probably one of the best sounding score CDs from that period. If it's been improved upon even more, and is accompanied by Jaws 3D (recently remastered and released by Intrada), perhaps that is a good sign Jaws 2 will come out on disc from them soon as well. Thank you for the heads up, djintrepid.    Posted:   Jul 12, 2015 - 4:00 PM     By:   Membership Expired   (Member) They really did ramp up the volume for this new release didnt they? Varese CD http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Stefancos/media/varese_zpsawkulbc9.png.html Geffen high res download http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Stefancos/media/Geffen_zps567ecqn5.png.html    Posted:   Jul 12, 2015 - 6:24 PM     By:   ScottDS   (Member) I just downloaded it... listening to it now. I don't have the audiophile ears you guys have but so far, it sounds just fine!    Posted:   Jul 12, 2015 - 6:32 PM     By:   djintrepid   (Member) I noticed that the volume was louder than I would expect for an older recording, but I didn't hear any distortion at all.    Posted:   Jul 13, 2015 - 5:46 AM     By:   T.J. Turner   (Member) They really did ramp up the volume for this new release didnt they? Varese CD http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Stefancos/media/varese_zpsawkulbc9.png.html Geffen high res download http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Stefancos/media/Geffen_zps567ecqn5.png.html Thanks, thats exactly what I was afraid of! Theres no point in a high resolution release if the mastering isnt given the utmost care with respect to the original source. Thats what hi fidelity is all about. So did Particia Sullivan Fourstar master this?    Posted:   Jul 13, 2015 - 6:33 AM     By:   Membership Expired   (Member) No man! High res is more, right? So it's more resolution, and therefore more volume. More is better, ya dig!    Posted:   Jul 14, 2015 - 6:05 AM     By:   jonathan_little   (Member) HDTracks needs to get the labels to submit better masters if they expect us to pay premium prices for these files. As The Projectionist mentioned, Jurassic Park suffered from the same problem. Pumping out 24/96 files of an excessively loud mastering intended for earbud or car consumption is not helpful. The fact is that 16 bits has more than enough dynamic range for any consumer consumption, as one can experience on the Brainstorm album.    Posted:   Jul 19, 2015 - 8:29 PM     By:   danbeck   (Member) Waiting for Intrada to anounce 2 of 4... As great as the album is there's some great music missing! For those unfamiliar with the score I edited a short suite with some of my favourite tracks: http://youtu.be/1q3dN4Ca3Zo    Posted:   Jul 27, 2015 - 3:03 PM     By:   Mr Hand   (Member) Both hi-res albums now also available for download at qobuz.com for some European countries.    Posted:   Jul 27, 2015 - 3:32 PM     By:   Grecchus   (Member) Where's Marlene?    Posted:   Jul 27, 2015 - 4:08 PM     By:   Ford A. Thaxton   (Member) Both hi-res albums now also available for download at qobuz.com for some European countries. Now unless they sent back to the original Masters, it's highly likely someone just up sampled the same master VARESE and INTRADA used to 24bit 96K... Which means it's not going to sound all that much different in the first place. Ford A. Thaxton    Posted:   Aug 15, 2015 - 3:17 PM     By:   danbeck   (Member) All Jaws original MCA albums (1, 2 and 3) are also available on iTunes from Geffen (the albums, not Intrada expanded Jaws 3-D neither The Revenge as this was never released as an album before)    Posted:   Aug 15, 2015 - 7:07 PM     By:   djintrepid   (Member) Hopefully that means the original Jaws album will be released in hi-res soon. Regardless of what anyone here has said against the Jaws 2 hi-res release, it's a superb sounding recording, so I'd love to have Geffen's release of the original Jaws album in my collection as well.    Posted:   Sep 23, 2015 - 3:32 AM     By:   dwirving68@gmail.com   (Member) Yeah I'm tempted by Jaws 2 even though the contents are exactly the same as the Varese release. Also Geffens reissue of Jurrasic Park wasn't worth the hires release because the mastering was poorly done. Interesting. I just purchased JP from HDTracks and am amazed at the dynamic range. I'm hearing things that were buried in the CD and subsequent iTunes rip. Admittedly, I'm new to Hi Res audio, so I don't necessarily know what to listen for. Could you expand on your statement? What about the mastering was poorly done?    Posted:   Sep 23, 2015 - 6:19 AM     By:   T.J.

What about the mastering was poorly done? The CD has even greater dynamic range and better detail in the low end. The dynamics allow for a better sense of naturalness and moments of great visceral impact that sounded dull and unmoving on the download. Someone in another thread even found that the download is at a slightly different pitch than the CD version.    Posted:   Sep 23, 2015 - 2:08 PM     By:   BornOfAJackal   (Member) Now unless they sent back to the original Masters, it's highly likely someone just up sampled the same master VARESE and INTRADA used to 24bit 96K...

They test everything and reject upsamples. It could be brickwalled but I wouldn't know. I do know it sounds spectacular, I had my mastering guy check it for any signs of upsampling and it is fine. Sorry, I hear more depth on both of these than I hear on the past releases. I also can say with certainty Universal, like Warner, have been remastering their entire catalog of music to higher bit rates.     General Discussion: Jaws 2 and 3D in 24 bit 96 kHz hi-res!    < 1 2  > >>  Go to page:  1 2   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1 2
