Unfortunately, the difference between clicking dislike and a FSM board member talking about sine curves in microphone recording quality is about 30,000 angry, ignorant words.
Oh, I know ...I'm just (kind of) kidding about youtube as it's a personal pet hate.
There are plenty of ignorant words written all around us, like I said, I find movies and sports to receive far worse, so much expertise and wisdom presented from a hotdog stuffed mouth on the sidelines or the couch, it's never gonna change though.
On the other hand, there are plenty of people who do understand the process and who have grown with the technology surrounding it and do actually know what they're talking about but even they are slammed if it goes against the groove.
I've seen a lot of anger here by some members though because it's as if any criticisms put forward is a slight against their own ability to listen, process and understand, because if there was something wrong, well surely 'they' would of noticed too.

Extreme voices are the loudest, and sometimes they have a way of clouding issues. I love the new recording of Conan the Barbarian. I think that the arrangements and performances are fantastic, and for the most part the sound is crisp and clean. To say that I have absolutely no issues with the sound wouldn't be true; there are a few anomalies here and there that I have noticed. They are too minor for me to to really be bothered overmuch about, and instead I enjoy the recording for everything it does right, which is capture a bold and committed performance of some of my favorite music ever.
Perhaps the best complement I can give James Fitzpatrick and his crew is that the new recording has given me a new perspective and greater insight into a score that I thought I knew inside and out, and gave me the ability to listen to an old favorite for the first time again.
I look forward to the new recording of Conan the Destroyer (as well as the other upcoming Tadlow releases) with great anticipation.

Ack! I thought this might be the imminent Intrada announcement! Alas, the wait continues a little longer.
I've said it before; the Prometheus recording is beyond excellent. Whatever distortions there may be haven't hindered my enjoyment of this set one iota. I still long for Intrada's original score treatment, but when it arrives, the Prometheus will sit rightfully next to it on my Shelf of Steel.

I am taking this opportunity to respond to various post since I'm uncertain as to the reliability of my Italian internet connection.
That said, I have found the Tadlow rerecording to also be absolutely amazing. More so the Conan the Destroyer relative to the abysmal OST and with the inclusion of the originally intended choir element into the Dagoth Ceremony cue. That blew my socks off and still does every time I hear it.

While I still feel the mastering is not what it could be, that's a very small complaint, and it doesn't hinder my enjoyment of the music. Not a bit.
My thanks to all involved in its making!
The mastering is all it can be, it's the original recording that's deficient. Intrada's work is top notch.
