I'm curious how different the release will be from the original.
As it sounds (from Wikipedia at least) that the Varese album was quite an editorial creation/interpretation - highlighting certain sounds, including music not in the film including dialogue etc.
The LLL description doesn't say, perhaps the samples will give a sense. I hope someone who does get this and knows the Varese will be able to speak to to what degree this is a different experience....

Not a fan of that Mondo cover. Interesting note about the original release though being a 'remix' album. Looks like my favourite track might not be on the new release after all. Really looking forward to hearing what its like now though.
It is a bit "Stranger Things" now, isn't it? A bit lighthearted-retro when the film is dark dark dark.
I'm really liking the LLL version though.

I got this on Saturday. The CD is essentially what I thought it would be. In my opinion, this new CD and the Varese CD, despite presenting much of the same music, represent substantially different albums. They are different enough for me to hold onto my copy of the Varese CD, at least.
Below is what appears on the new CD, including appropriate comparisons with the Varese album.
One thing to note: Shore had written a few source cues, which are on this new release.
1. Cable 83 - This is a source cue, the theme music for Channel 83.
2. Piercing - This is essentially the film version of Pins and Needles. Though they are not identical, differences are minimal.
3. Civic TV - This is the cue that plays as Max follows through with his orders concerning his partners. This is the 2:19-4:33 portion of TV Passions, and is a prime example of how the people behind the Varese CD wanted to emphasize certain elements of the music that were more in the background in the film version. The three metallic outbursts that are very much pronounced on the Varese CD are, literally, relegated to the background in this film version.
4. Got A Cigarette - This is a previously unreleased cue that plays during the cigarette scene.
5. Nicki Inside - This track begins with a snippet from Welcome To Videodrome that plays from 2:06-2:26 with the electronic sounds brought much more to the foreground. The rest of the track is a previously unreleased cue that plays when Max receives the tape with Brian O’Blivion. The cue has an intro that doesn’t appear in the film and utilizes synthesized moans throughout, also not in the film.
6. Come To Me - This is a mostly previously unreleased cue that plays when Max watches the tape. The portion of Long Live The New Flesh from 2:28 to the end appears in this track but without the synthesized line that plays over top.
7. Samurai Dreams No. 13 - I think this is self-explanatory. I didn’t know Shore composed this.
8. Whipping - This is TV Or Not TV from 2:35 to the end. Differences between the two are minimal.
9. In Bed - This is a previously unreleased cue that plays when Max wakes up in bed after his hallucination at Spectacular Optical.
10. The New Flesh - This is A Slow Burn from 2:44 to the end. If not the same cue, differences seem imperceptible.
11. Spectacular Optical - The final source cue on the CD, the company’s logo music.
12. Transformation - This is TV Passions from 4:52 to the end, followed by the first 2:26 of Long Live The New Flesh. The first portion of this track is a different rendition compared to the Varese, while the latter portion is pretty much the same cue, just a different mix.
13. Gun In Gut - This is the first 2:34 of TV Or Not TV. There’s a minor difference but, basically, the same cue.
14. Cathode Ray Mission - This is 2:59-3:45 of 801 A/B. Differences are minimal.
15. Videodrome Is Death - This is 3:45 to the end of 801 A/B. It has a different intro; otherwise, there are slight differences.
16. Grenade - This is 0:10-2:17 of TV Passions. Differences are minimal.
17. Condemned Vessel - The first 2:26 of this track is, for the most part, previously unreleased, and it plays at the “Spectacular Blowout.” The first :35 of this portion also plays at the very beginning of the film. From :40 to 2:26, underneath the sound effects, you can hear what is, at least, a variation of the music that plays from 0:11-2:33 of A Slow Burn. The rest of the track is 0:11-2:54 of 801 A/B with some minor differences.

Hi, is the 34 sec ominous synthesizer cue that accompanies the opening Videodrome titles before the Channel 83 source music cuts in, anywhere on this release?

Looks like it's the beginning of track 17: "The first :35 of this portion also plays at the very beginning of the film"
Thanks for the breakdown Obrytis718135 !

Thanks - I missed that in my excitement.
Those little 35 seconds are one of the main things I am looking forward to
