Just checked the shipping information... arriving tomorrow according to tracking.

Mine just arrived. Ripping to iTunes as I type this and momentarily my ears will be gorged on Goldsmith Trek.

A more delicate score than I thought. The synth work sound a bit like Goldsmith's 80's work, Gremlins even, but the Ba'ku theme is really lovely and memorable. The action music doesn't beat you over the head.

Finally got a shipping update just now.
Too bad the expected delivery date was LAST WEEK.
The ship date was published as 8/6 and we stuck to that. Sorry if there was any confusion over the order updates.
Also the extended liner notes are now up: http://gnpcrescendo.com/insurrection/

Thanks for posting the extended liner notes!
Something strange though...the first page of them (the front cover) says "2 CD EXPANDED COLLECTOR'S EDITION"!
Was this originally going to be a 2-disc set and the artwork just wasn't updated on this file, or has it changed to one at the last minute due to customer feedback in this thread?

At this point I'm just going to say "enjoy." There were no last minute changes, this is just a human error.

Ah, okay. I'm certainly enjoying the extended notes, thanks!

I don't have mine yet. Got my shipped notice though so should be any day now.
I do have an expanded _______ and I think the score, overall, is quite exquisite. My only gripe are the synths which, in this case, don't really add anything and in some instances get in the way of a very strong piece of music.
I have to say I have always disagreed with this... I've always thought this score to be one of the better blending of full orchestra and electronics.

By the way, is it just me or are the electronics much more pristine on this mastering than on the original? They just seem much more pristine and have greater presence on all frequencies.
