Most of my "holy grails" have been released already for which I'm grateful for. However, there are still some that I want...

Star Wars Prequels
-Complete intended versions with the Matessino touch.

Star Wars Original Trilogy
-Properly remastered and restructured with the Matessino touch.

Spider-Man 1-3
-Complete nothing missing but chances are on this are probably next to impossible.

Hook
-Proper definitive edition with nothing missing but again probably next to impossible now.

Avatar (2009)
-I'd love to have a legit complete release for this with alternates and nothing missing.

The Matrix
-This needs a proper 2-CD release. It sucks that Varèse hasn't revisited this one to give it a proper 2-CD treatment that it needs.

Starship Troopers
-This is still missing some stuff that can be found on the isolated score.

Top Gun
-Hoping this gets a complete release.

Fantastic 4 and Fantastic 4 Rise Of The Silver Surfer
-I'd love to have both of these in complete form for a legit release.

I am still waiting on...

Deadly Blessing - James Horner (With the Matessino touch!)
The Stepford Wives - Michael Small
Supergirl (remastered corrected film tracks) Jerry Goldsmith (With the Matessino touch!)
All the Split Enz music from "Puberty Blues" 1981
The Apple - Complete remastered sound track + Score
Legend - The full, complete score with alternate takes - Goldsmith (With the Matessino touch!)
Hellraiser - Complete score and not just the cues that Young has authorized. Apparently there is a lot more music that was written and recorded....
I see another person wrote A Nightmare on Elm Street - I second that. We got most of the music but still not all, in the box set a few years back.

And last but certainly NOT least:

Exorcist II: The Heretic - Ennio Morricone. Complete film score, alternate takes and album cues. From what I understand, there is a wealth of unpublished music to this masterpiece of a score that has yet to be appreciated.



I listened to The Fury a few days ago, Matessino I (Varèse) sounds much better than Matessino II (La-La Land). The Fox studio and orchestra are barely recognizable in the latter edition.

The same for The Blue Max, the sound of both the Shepperton studio and the original performance have completely vanished from the latter edition.

It may sound more modern, cleaner, with reinforced bass frequencies, but it's not the The Blue Max anymore. It's indeed the Matessino sound.

Hmmm. I suppose I can hear what you are saying but Matessino brings a more symphonic, bombastic tone that brings everything out in to the open. Perhaps keep certain films mixes I suppose, for those that want to keep the original experience.

I personally enjoy Matessino's touch as he makes everything sound like it was recorded yesterday.

Two things rather off the wall:

Anne Dudley composed an incredibly charming theme for Jeeves and Wooster and then followed that up with two seasons of witty variations and underscore. There was an album with score and songs, but it's extremely rare and had just a handful of Dudley's cues.

Similarly, though in a different style, Patrick Gowers scored every episode of the long-running Sherlock Holmes series and the existing Varese album leaves a lot out.
