Truly a wonderful article. I await its arrival!

I would love to have this new unit having lost my previous unit (DS-989) due to a family mistreatment of my goods. I suffered a major health setback in 2012 and while I have yet to recover in full I did manage to purchase a low end Sony unit to enjoy blu Ray discs I've repurchased. Not being...

Hi Michael: It was my understanding that the disc was reissued with new liner notes by Joe Caps. My friend has that version. I remember back when I got the CD I thought the exact same thing you did and apparently we weren't alone. Mention was made of the liner notes in Film Score Monthly...

Thanks Joe! I have had the soundtrack on CD for a good many years and love it! I have the version that had the derogatory notes that Lisa Sutton had written. I know that the CD was later reissued with liner notes that were written by you. Good job! I just hope that we can one day have the...

JoeCaps: I know that I thanked you in another thread for the Pioneer Laserdisc, but let me do so again. Prior to receiving my DVD I pulled it out again just to give the isolated audio channel a listen. Such a great track and although it sounds great I'd love to hear it in stereo. I was...

I'm just happy to have this on DVD now after waiting for so long. Sure, it could be better but I'm thankful for what we have and it's a miracle that we have this at all. Cheers! Harry :)

Yes. It's the same doco that was only available via mail when you purchased the ALIEN LEGACY boxset back in the '90's. I still have mine as well. Cheers! Harry

Just received my GUARDIAN set in the post. The actual disc packaging is different from the "movies only" release. The discs are packaged in a case that is like a very thick CD digipack, with a small booklet of the MU-TH-UR mode viewer's guide tucked in. Kinda expected the packaging to be like...

Varese Sarabande also announced that they are releasing a Deluxe 2 disc version of Michael Giacchino's score for STAR TREK on June 14. Limited to 5000. Very cool! http://www.varesesarabande.com/details.asp?pid=VCL%2D0410%2D1108 I received my copy of ST III from Screen Archives and...

Just call Sony support at 1-866-909-7669 and they'll send you the DVD at no charge. I ordered it on 24 May and received the disc on the 29th. Probably would've been faster if Monday hadn't been a holiday. You can also download the update to a DVD via their site if you have a DVD burner. Just...

Yes! If you are a fan it is most definately worth it! The remastering of LITTLE EARTHQUAKES is terrific. Also the inclusion of previously unreleased tracks makes this a must have. My favourites among the previously unreleased tracks are TAKE ME WITH YOU, ZERO POINT and DOLPHIN SONG. My only...

Darren: The DVD-A of ROBIN HOOD is spectacular. Any fan of film music would be crazy not to have this in their collection. I originally purchased the regular CD version of it and thought it was terrific, but since I got the DVD-A of it back in 2003, I haven't even bothered to listen to the...

Hello: Just thought I'd chime in about a few other recordings. Although the McNeely disc is great, I personally favour Danny Elfman and Steve Bartek's adaptation of the score for the 1998 remake. I was never able to find the PHASE IV recording. On the Elfman recording there's a thrilling...

Picked this up yesterday and have been watching it avidly. I still wish that this collection could have been more complete. I know, big deal, three more videos! Still they could've included the live footage from the LITTLE EARTHQUAKES video compilation. The packaging is beautiful and the sound...

Just picked up James Horner's score for THE LEGEND OF ZORRO and Joshua Bell's TCHAIKOVSKY CONCERTO IN D MAJOR FOR VIOLIN AND ORCHESTRA. The MC mix for ZORRO is just like all the other film score releases so far; with the surround channels being used for hall-ambience and not much else. The...

Also noticed that the video for STRANGE LITTLE GIRL isn't included. Grrrrr! Cheers! Harry

I know this is kinda early, but I'm a bit disappointed that the listing provided from her official site is missing two videos (Glory of the '80's and Mary). Still I suppose it's better than nothing. I hope that the listing will change since the release date is still two months off and it does...

Well... I returned my discs and got a new copy. Same problem though. I guess it's my player cause I tried it in my sister's Sony and it worked fine. Oh well. Cheers! Harry

Anyone else experiencing any glitches with this title? While watching the Unrated Version the picture began to pixelate and the sound drops out at around minute 58 all through the first Alien Vs. Predator battle. The sound dropouts are on both the DTS and DD tracks. I thought this may be...

I used to write to Dale Somerville from time to time (when he was still into Kate) and even corresponded to his ex-wife Robyn for a while, but after I moved to Hawaii I lost everyone's address. I even wrote to Tom Dunning for awhile too! I can't remember if we corresponded but I do remember your...

Thank you Vickie! The new album is absolutely brill! The only problem with it is that I already know it backwards and forwards and it's only been a couple of weeks! I just hope she releases heaps and heaps of b-sides and gets to work poste haste on a visual representation of A SKY OF HONEY...

I purchased the "Special Limited Internet Editions" when the album were first released. My copy of THE TWO TOWERS is brown and my ROTK is a burgundy/chocolate colour. I can't exactly remember what the additional exclusive content is that's included on these discs. They included copies of all of...

Definately worth the 12 year wait! To put it simply, the album is a masterpiece. I've been a devoted Kate fan since the early days and she's only gotten better. All we need now is a multi-channel version of A SKY OF HONEY...hell, why stop there? We need multi-channel versions of all of her...

I'm so glad that RYAN'S DAUGHTER is finally making it's way to DVD! Next to LAWRENCE OF ARABIA and OLIVER TWIST, they're my favourite Lean films. The love scene in the forest is one of the most beautiful (not to mention, erotic) pieces of filmmaking ever! Cheers! Harry

I bought the disc a few days ago as well, and while it isn't in 5.1, the "wnhanced stereo" mix is really quite nice. Much better than the CD side. My DVD-A player shows that the album on the DVD side is encoded at 48k/16 bit. The only thing that kind of irritates me is that all of the video...

John: I've had my copy of the DVD-A for a good few months and do not see any cracks in the disc hub so things look good on that front. However, the DVD-A doesn't have the bonus track on it. The only bonus is the video for "The Road I'm On". Cheers! Harry

I just picked it up this evening and it's awesome! The center channel is utitlised too! The vocals are spread across the front three channels and the surround channels are quite aggressive. In the OVERTURE, the muted trumpet starts out in the center channel all by itself until the last note...

I'm also familiar with all of the scores on THE BIG PICTURE and while the performances pale beside the originals, it's better than nothing...for now. I have a Sony SCD-SE775, which was an entry level model from 2001. It's quite good for such a low priced model and it does have it's own bass...

So far, and I've really been looking for them, it seems like there are very few of them out there. I've purchased the following: A.I. Artificial Intelligence (DVD-A) A Beautiful Mind (SACD MC) The Big Picture (DTS) E.T. The Extraterrestrial (SACD MC) Film Busters (DVD-A) The Film...
