But then it was dinnertime. We had Mediterranean, which meant that I had to switch to drinking wine. And this meant that I had to take off the Afro-Cuban jazz and listen to something Italian. Luckily, my CD of "The Thing" arrived, so Ms. Birri and I enjoyed "The Thing" with dinner. Anyone know where an albino koala such as I can get John Carpenter's synth music from this film?    Posted:   Jun 14, 2020 - 7:58 AM     By:   leagolfer   (Member) Ordered from Intrada - mine arrived yesterday. I’ve been playing it quite often since then. GREAT STUFF! I can’t believe I never bought any previous version of this before. All I’ve ever owned is the one track on the John Carpenter Anthology disc. The Varese disc was a price-barrier for whoever that missed it, the BSX rendition is good but quite off with its material, I prefer the Varese its the most accurate material of the film, but now this is here i'm all for it. well-done Quartet for reproducing the finer quality thanks..    Posted:   Jun 14, 2020 - 10:19 AM     By:   Nicolai P. Zwar   (Member) I actually only now that I have the Quartet bought the BSX recording (as digital Download via Qobuz) for the additional Carpenter cues (which I consider absolutely non-essential as music or within the context of the score... I just wanted to have them anyway), and because I find it interesting to have some of the electronic music re-recorded. (I had heard the BSX recording before, though I did not have it myself). The Quartet release is very fine indeed, the sound has indeed more presence than the Varèse, though it contains the same mix, so the difference -- while it is there - is not as huge as it was, say, between the Rhino and the LaLaLand Superman. Not a MUST upgrade, unless you are a nutcase like me who just loves this score (and movie).    Posted:   Jun 14, 2020 - 11:49 AM     By:   MKRUltra   (Member) My copy came in yesterday as well and been listening to it on repeat since. This masterpiece was nominated for a Razzie for Worst Score lol. Sound is terrific. Weird it's taken so long to get a new CD release but better late than never. Thanks Quartet.    Posted:   Jun 14, 2020 - 12:08 PM     By:   OnyaBirri   (Member) Anyone know where an albino koala such as I can get John Carpenter's synth music from this film?    Posted:   Jun 14, 2020 - 2:51 PM     By:   Nicolai P. Zwar   (Member) Anyone know where an albino koala such as I can get John Carpenter's synth music from this film? All original recordings are apparently lost. The Carpenter synth cues have been re-recorded twice, once by Carpenter and collaborators for a vinyl release of the score, and once by Carpenter's long time collaborator Alan Howarth for BSX. That's it.    Posted:   Jun 14, 2020 - 3:42 PM     By:   OnyaBirri   (Member) Anyone know where an albino koala such as I can get John Carpenter's synth music from this film?

After all, who better to do it than Alan Howarth?    Posted:   Jun 15, 2020 - 12:59 AM     By:   funkymonkey   (Member) My tracking says that my copy left Spain on June 4th as well!!!! I wonder where they've got to? Same with mine - I understand things are a little messed up at present but this seems excessive. Tracking now shows movement to say it has arrived in the UK at least. Hopefully not too long now...    Posted:   Jun 15, 2020 - 3:34 AM     By:   Chris Rimmer   (Member) My copy has also arrived at Heathrow, so hopefully it'll soon be on it's way to me    Posted:   Jun 15, 2020 - 3:44 AM     By:   Nicolai P. Zwar   (Member) I recently listened to first the Quartet release of THE THING and then to the complete BSX re-recording, and I have to say in case of THE THING it makes perfect sense to have the original organic orchestral score by Morricone copied and imitated by electronic mimicry. :-)    Posted:   Jun 15, 2020 - 1:21 PM     By:   iliveforhim1976   (Member) Got one for sale if anyone wants. $20    Posted:   Jun 16, 2020 - 2:04 AM     By:   Chris Rimmer   (Member) Just received notification that The Thing is out for delivery today.    Posted:   Jun 16, 2020 - 2:36 AM     By:   Hurdy Gurdy   (Member) "Got one for sale if anyone wants. $20" --------------- Does that INCLUDE postage?    Posted:   Jun 16, 2020 - 5:21 AM     By:   Chris Rimmer   (Member) My copy arrived this morning, hope everyone else gets theirs soon.    Posted:   Jun 16, 2020 - 5:27 AM     By:   Timothy J. Phlaps   (Member) Got mine today!    Posted:   Jun 16, 2020 - 8:11 AM     By:   Stephen Woolston   (Member) Yup. Arrived.    Posted:   Jun 16, 2020 - 8:31 AM     By:   ghost of 82   (Member) Yup. Arrived. Hurrah!    Posted:   Jun 16, 2020 - 1:49 PM     By:   DavidCoscina   (Member) I have been playing this non-stop since I got it a couple weeks ago. Brilliant!    Posted:   Jun 18, 2020 - 12:40 AM     By:   iankemsley   (Member) Any further comments on the sound upgrade (if any)?
