The UK release has been released yesterday and I got the Blu-ray today. Both cuts of the film include an isolated score & effects track. Both cuts are also 1080p and have two audio options: PCM 2.0 Stereo and DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1. I've watched a few minutes of both cuts and I don't hear any disortion on the audio. Here are the specs. The discs are region B only. Extras DISC ONE *The film - International version (116:30) Audio commentary by director Tobe Hooper, moderated by Tim Sullivan Audio commentary by visual effects artist Douglas Smith, moderated by filmmaker and scholar Howard S.

I believe , since LLL recording will be out of print soon, that a new release will surface soon, with, this time , the main title composed by Michael Kamen, that was not located at the time of the first print of the (un)complete score. LLL (La-La Land) should be BSX (Buysoundtrax).

May - still hot AND enamored with the score! Yes, that was a great feature, good interview with the love of every 80's kid. If your commentary in the UK is the same that Scream Factory has here in the states, with Hooper and "moderator" Tim Sullivan - good luck. I turned it off after 5mins. - Sullivan is like an annoying kid who won't just let Hooper talk, and not in a fun, spirited "I'm a fan and it's so cool I'm watching LIFEFORCE with the director!!" but just....annoying. After enduring 90mins. of that for THE FUNHOUSE, I just couldn't do it again.

For those that go with the Arrow release, I'm curious to know how the audio quality on the US theatrical edition sounds; it's pinched and distorted on the Scream Factory Blu-ray. Loaded with flanging (see link). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flanging Anyone have an answer to this question? Any insight would be much appreciated. I'm curious as well....
