| This is a comments thread about FSM CD: The Satan Bug: Archival Edition |

Just opened this one and I am loving it.
Anyone who like PLANET OF THE APES will like this. Call it "proto-POTA" if you must, it has many of the sounds and feels of his writing that would come in the first APES movie.

I always avoided this cd because the "Archival Edition" thing. Do you think we will ever see a clean release of this score?
Don't wait until you're a pile of bleached bones for that holy grail of your, Juanki.
This is no "taped off TV" release. I'm VERY glad I bypassed any reservations and got it.

If you all want to see a COVID-relevant movie from the 1960s try "What's So Bad About Feeling Good?" It contains:
* a virus that's in the air and can be transferred by close face contact
* The populace of NYC walking around everywhere with face masks
* Government and science experts on TV advising citizens
* One expert (played by Dom DeLuise) who claims the virus is a Red China plot(!)
* "Be Safe" signs erected all over the city
* Worries that revenue from sales tax on alcohol and cigarettes will be lost
This film is not a serious drama though - it's a very broad satire: the "virus" is spread by a rare toucan that causes depressed/angry/nihilist people to suddenly become optimistic and cheery!

How intrusive are the sound effects on the listening experience here? I haven’t got this album myself. I guess I’m also thinking more broadly whether having the music with FX is better than nothing or not? What says you?

Wot sez me?
Zardoz speaks to you:
The Satan Bug is good!
Buy it … or forever be an aimless Vortex-hopping stonehead.

The sound fx are squeezed out as well as possible - I personally don't find what's left of them intrusive. It's a oft-played Goldsmith CD on me ol' Victrola.

....eventual distribution at EGG-ZACKLY the 55 year mark. Coincidence? Ho, ho, ho, you might not think so, but my nerd-y sense is tingling! 
Depends where you were, eh? West Germany got it before New York.

If it was 45 years ago, I could see that number being linked to a president.
45 years ago, Jeannot Szwarc's Bug was released ... without any Satan.
