I was planning to pass on this, as I had steadfastly avoided seeing the film based on the dreadful previews with Ah-nuld of the muscles-on-his-muscles riding about the red misty meadows with his silly horned hat and all. I have no connection with this film, but decided to give the samples a listen, which turned out to be an unexpected $30 move on my part. I actually liked the darn thing, and before I knew it...it was ordered. Rather than looking on this as something I missed out on for all these years due to my own rank stubbornness, I prefer to think of it as Providence that I did so, as there is now a splendid-sounding release of the actual tracks, and I have been spared the bad sounding earlier OST releases and a re-recording which (by some reports here) sounded great but missed the mark on the points which typically cause me to be disappointed by re-recordings. So carry on, then. Jolly good show and all that.
Don't see it, but do see this:

Glad I never bought the re-recordings. Bring on the originals! Looking forward to Destroyer too.
I'm not sure if that's something to be glad about. Seriously: Give it an ear (or two). Tadlow did a remarkable job.
I'm very, very glad I brought the re-recordings. Yes the original is an amazing piece of work, but the re-recording shows what Poledouris originally wrote and wanted and is a stunning recording without all the errors and compromises that ended up on the original score.
I love this score and would not want to be without either version.
My sentiments exactly.

we could rest on our laurels, for a while
again well done INTRADA

After so many listenings of the momentous rerecording by Tadlow, this Intrada release will be like trying to fall in love again. Not sure it will be love at first sight. I have listened to the Varèse again in the afternoon and -- to me -- it sounds now rather weak. Not sure the new mix will enhance the recording but it will bring definitely a different listening experience. And honestly, the only thing that matters is to read so many frantic posts by people who are in heaven, and that's great!

How did you get yours already when I'm in Los Angeles, found it with the search engine a minute before it was posted on the front page and ordered it immediately?
Accursed post office!
You're okay. I've not got mine yet - and I am in the UK.

Comparing the sound of the tracks that appear on both Disc 1 and Disc 3 (the album) through a good pair of headphones (it's too late at night to blast the neighbors with speakers), the album tracks sound fuller and richer to me. I notice it especially in the voices and the more powerful passages.
Perhaps some will consider the leaner-sounding Disc 1 tracks cleaner or superior or whatever, but I very definitely like the weightier sound of the Disc 3 album tracks better.
I thought the source for both was the same? If that is the case, why the discrepancy?
