FTR the Soundstream digital recorder (which was a two track machine) was first used by a short lived company called Crystal Clear Records in 1977 on a live recording by Virgil Fox at the Garden Grove Community Church. Telarc used a modified recorder from 1978 to 1984 when they switched to a Sony 1610 tape machine.
Great recording btw!

I bought the FSM not only because I had wanted to the full score, but also wanted the sound improvement. I kind of assumed that was probably the best (with a little play with tech' advances) that could be done and kind of hoped it would be my last purchase of the score.
But I'd gladly get the score again if new tapes yielded amazing new results, especially the still tin-canny sound of the opening credits.
And I hope a dialogue-covered version of the closing, is relegated to the bonus tracks. Sorry, but if I want to hear that, I'll watch the film. It's not integral to the music. This is a score CD, not a film DVD.

That's the boring part.
And what's the NOT boring part?

I'm always very interested in the nature of these productions from a technical standpoint, though I know very little beyond what I've read in notes and on these forums.

I was listening to the Retrograde Records versions of "Battle in the Mutara Nebula" and "Genesis Countdown".
"Battle" does have the closest approximaton to full stage ambience. "Genesis" is pieced together from differently engineered content; a more mechanically realized presentation, if you will.
I really have to say, the mixdown from LCR sounds good enough that I wouldn't see the necessity of a new edition, but what the hey, it's Wrath of Khan!

Dan Wallace's mix is fantastic all around, IMHO.
The tapes do sound slightly archival, but in no way "bad".
My guess at the time, and I stand by it, is that the cue that is sourced from the original masters may be Enterprise Attacks Reliant.
There is a clarity there that is immediate and excellent.
I could be completely wrong of course, and my subjective mind could be playing tricks on me, but that is my hunch.
