The MP3 version is only $42.99. Am debating going that route for The Soldier and the complete Dominion concert. But, compared to the first box, this one is a disappointment as far as unreleased music. Maybe the first one didn't sell well so this one was scaled back.
This is one of the reasons I love having an Apple Music subscription - in addition to storing many gigs of my own collection in the cloud for instant playback. I've already added it to my library, and more tracks appear each week.
Takes the sting out of the inevitable disappointment I too will feel with The Keep. I will be able to enjoy some albums I never found - and now never have to.

I'm just glad I don't like the film or music, for a change.
The book on the other hand was very good. Film was not like what the book conjured up.

Release dates are a bit crazy...
This post says it's October 16th...some say October 30th...and Amazon US says November 6th.
When does an MP3 web release come out?

Prerelease tracks are slowly filling in on Spotify and Apple Music.
This current incarnation of TD is as good as any in the band's history I think.
Recent releases like Quantum Gate, Light Flux and the Sessions series are making me feel like a kid again.
I really wonder how long it will be before film and tv comes back around and starts employing the group again. I'd hire em in a second.
Yes, I find it a bit strange that they haven't been hired to do any film work yet. Quaeschning did Cargo solo though. The Switch from 1992 is still their most recent film or tv score for a dramatic picture!

Could we make sure they fit the impossible-to-find Vision Quest (1985) score into their next (1984-87) release. Remember seeing this film in the theatre and thinking the score in the final big wrestle match was impressive...and then realizing it was TD. Someone told me there was not enough cues/minutes to release it separately back then but I think many people who purchased the popular Vision Quest soundtrack would have at least liked 1-2 tracks of TD in the soundtrack release. Just didn't happen.
Take a listen & you be the judge, 1:16 starts to take off -

Seeing it in context of the film it was pretty thrilling. Not their best stuff, especially during that period but definitely worth including. Heard Vision Quest was similar to Sorcerer in that they never viewed actual film during scoring of it.
Can anybody contribute to this further?

Thanks to you, I have found what you have said to be correct. Without a doubt the essence is definitely there and I an enjoying the new material of which I haven't in a long time (even while Edgar was alive). Too much of the later years was too much commercial pop IMO.

Honestly I can't believe I'm saying it. If anyone had asked if I'd ever be listening to an Edger-less TD I would have said they were smoking crack... but here I am.
Personally I loved the 90s era Edger and Jerome Dream Mixes stuff, it's one of my faves of the group. But certainly recognize not everyone was into a dance beat version of TD.
Sad Jerome has not given his blessing to this incarnation. But as far as I know, Thorsten was Edgar's guy right?

You've sparked my interest in listening to it...
Always been iffy about todays music because I've always loved their material through the 80s and early 90s.
And since Edgar is gone...
And very slowly...I wish they would release more material we haven't heard yet.
We know what White Eagle and The Soldier main titles sound like already,
About the release date...is October 16th the European date?

I'm hoping as well. I think they'll keep it '84 to '86 then an '87 to '89. FLASHPOINT, FIRESTARTER need serious remasters and both scores have plenty of unreleased music. FIRESTARTER practically has a completely different film score mix than the album for whatever reason. I can imagine a STREET HAWK disc without titles like THE SOLDIER. I'm thinking the next round will have remastered Underwater Sunlight, Le Parc, Poland, Livemiles and Green Desert. Probably include a live album from 1986 (I'm hoping Irvine Meadows 6-6-86 since I was there and it was Edgar's birthday). There are several soundtracks they could choose from, most with many different film mixes compared to the albums though, so, no idea where they would go (HEARTBREAKERS/FIRESTARTER/LEGEND/FLASHPOINT/RED HEAT). Probably throw in some singles like A TIME FOR HEROES, Street Hawk (radio mix) and Warsaw in the Sun. Whatever they choose..I'm sure no TD fan will be able to say no.
I'm not sure why you think there will be a next set.
This is being released by Virgin, and only includes Virgin-released-recorded stuff.
If a next release is considered, it will be very difficult.
There are so many labels involved, Jive, MCA, Private Music etc that a next box-set is very unlikely.
