It is a great CD indeed. Very happy it's finally come along. Sounds fantastic!

This is a very strong album. Compelling throughout, original and efficient. I'm very impressed by this one.
Totally agree. I love how a good soundtrack album gets in your head and the themes become more evident over time. A really strong work by one of my favorites.

So, how did this CD fare with people (apart from the 2 or 3 above who left their opinion).
Is it the ugly duckling people were afraid it was going to be, or a pleasant surprise?
(I haven't bought or heard it yet).
As I stated during my numerous complaints, the score is great and one of my favorites of all time (odd, yes), I just wasn't crazy about the way Intrada presented it.

I dunno, odd presentation notwithstanding, it doesn't affect my enjoyment, it's
a good disc, and that final action chase cue on the pier we all love so bad really
flows organically from the prior cue. In fact the whole thing flows well as a listen.
There is a bit more atmospheric stuff in the first half I had forgotten that bogs things
down. It's a good package, c'mon Shaun, drop the the $20 for it, what the hell! If you
hate it you can always ebay in, what 5 years? What's the accelerated shelf life for these
things now?
I don't think it flows organically at all, Goblin, that's just it! It's a totally jarring edit! When I was trying to put together a version of this in my head back when, I imagined that they'd combine a bunch of the atmospheric stuff over all the great stuff at the end. I like the whole thing, but I don't want to sit through that 5 minute Caretaker dialogue cue to get to a clear action highlight of the score.
I'll wait until this one goes out of print, then finance a new version myself with all of the riches that I'm sure to acquire in the next few years. Then you'll be sorry. Then you'll ALL be sorry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't think the presentation is odd in the least. It's a great album, start to finish. That's my opinion.
I'm glad you and others like it, obviously. It's still a great score and I still think I'm right.

As far as I can tell, the music has simply been presented as it was recorded,
Nope.

I don't mean to de-rail the thread, but that got me thinking: has there been any releases from Intrada in recent years, that didn't have crossfading?

It's no longer available from Intrada's website but fortunately, I just ordered a copy from S.A.E..
I just looked and it appears to still be available from Intrada to me.
Yeah, it's still in stock. Just ordered it, together with Collateral.

The crossfading genuinely killed this release for me (20 years of expectations will do this to a guy), but at the same time, not everyone is crazy and it's still one of my favorite JNH scores by a mile (what a killer 1993 he had). Get it while you can, or wait for me to reissue it as soon as I get some legal documents worked out.
