Any news on the CD pre-order?
Let's hope a CD is announced. I've been wanting this on CD for decades now, ever since the death of vinyl and then missing the CD before it went out of print. How ironic.

Excited for this, though I wish the CD was being released in a standard jewel case instead.
The European version of ROBOCOP was.

However purists take note: Brad took a few (but really only a few) liberties with the material as opposed to the score as in film. Basically he just added a few bars of additional material towards the end of two or three cues.
Do we actually know if Brad has added this material and not that they were edited out off the final film print? Glad to hear the audio is improved.
Very tempted to take a run at the Vinyl copy as well to see if this new 'resurgence' is merely nostalgia or if mastering differences are noticeable to current CD releases...

Amen to that. Hopefully this isn't too tinkered. Still feeling the burn from those Howarth "re-imaginings"
Yeah, those were pretty brutal. I had to go back to the original Varese EFNY release for some of the tracks because I wanted the [actual] film music experience. He needs to stop with the improv over old recordings (like when he plays live). It's just, er, not good. I do applaud his THE THING synth pad re-recordings/remixes though. I sandwiched them neatly inbetween my Morricone tracks.
I'm absolutely in your camp usually, Dan and Mutant. Howarth's tinkering (remember the H2 suites???) are mostly bizzare. EFNY's expanded version was good for the extra tracks - however i always listen to the VS version with the new tracks added as bonus.
However The Terminator is nowhere near this amount of lucas-ing at all! So far i've only listened to it once on my fiio player (i'd rather wait for the CD & vinyl than to play the mp3s on my stereo), so i can't make a good a-b comparison at the moment. Also, i don't know the score *that* well to tell you if "escape from police station" is the film mix (what was wrong with it on the "definite edition" again? something about the drum patterns being too loudly mixed?).
I also always prefer the score-as-in-film-proper over everything else. But in this case i thought that the "definite edition" was exactly that (even though i've read that certain instruments were mixed wrong - but i've never made an a-b with the movie) and the - while understandable - rhythmically inaccurate synchronisation shortcomings really put me off. This release is, for me personally, the first time i actually prefer a slighty face-lifted reissue to the score proper. And i'm actually quite confident that if the "definite edition" would have never been released, nobody would notice Brad's synchonising improvements on this!
Fortunately, there were never any synchronisation issues with the old Carpenter/Howarth recordings!!!
Best,
Burnie
