Just saw that, very excited. And of course because they know they can charge $40 they do. They also have a 3 LP set for that new Samurai game and it's the same price. 2LP = 3LP ???
Yeah, I posted in the VGM thread the other day about that one. You can order it directly from Milan for 43.97 shipped on black vinyl. Incredible price. I'm about 3 hours into the game and digging it so far.

...of course, not listed anywhere on the cover ffs. It's a dark jewel in the B-F-T crown, the highlight is the track 7 Note which was used to great effect in Kill Bill Vol. I as O-Ren Ishii's theme. It was only released on the KB OST with the RZA rhyming over it though. The original Cinevox 45 single version of "7 Note" is below followed by Tracce Sul Muro (which was the B side of the OG 45).



Listen to the entire album that was compiled by Digitmovies in 2006 (and the likely source for this new 2LP) here:

Haha, this whole exchange is LOL.

Honestly though, this (continued) malarky seriously puts me off their releases. Who gives a shit who wrote the actual music? Certainly not Johnny Soundtrack Collector who these are directly aimed at, showing off this 'sweet piece' , sealed and unplayed, on his dumb IG.

Pffft.

Holy smokes - just looking and even the 2015 repress of Tron Legacy goes for upwards £200 now. Looks like that Mongo reissue is more needed than I initially thought!

Same. I thought after the repress it was readily available. Love that release. Only gonna grab the mondo if it's got additional tracks not on the repress.

I was lucky enough to jump on that D*sney 2nd pressing in '15, so I'm all good. The wax has hardly been spun truth be told- this score mainly gets digital earphone action while I'm on the move, especially whilst cycling! It's a mover ;)

Maybe a good time to move that one onto discogs to get some good money for it. ;)

The Disney is a crackerjack pressing, Chris- I'mma hold on to it for sure. Certainly wouldnt trade in on the hope that the Mongo pressing won't be dodgy (which is a 50-50 crapshoot if we're honest ;)

If I could go back in time and get the black version of The Fountain instead of the splatter. It is so beyond noisy. Mondo is really bad with splatter releases. God of War and The Fountain are some of the worst pressed albums I own as far as noise goes.

Right. And jeez, with a record like that? You really don't want to sacrifice fidelity for fun colours. That malarky works just fine for fun, silly music I guess, but not something that deserves to be pressed by Deutsche Grammophon! :)

Apparently this white version w/ fancy slip cover of Sette Note In Nero is limited to 500 copies.

I jumped on one of those black vinyl copies of The Fountain when they hit retail, even though I seem to have lucked out and ended up with a decent copy with the MondoCon edition of the splatter/haze/whatevs. I heard the splatter pressing that was sold in the webstore was really noisy. I also know that white vinyl is not far behind splatter or haze for noisy pressings, which is why I just checked LitA again for a distro pressing of Sette note in nero but nothing showing up yet.

I bought it, but I wasn't stoked on the $49 price tag with shipping and tax.

Deutsche Grammophon, for me, out out the highest quality of releases I've seen. I'm a huge Max Richter fan and almost all of his stuff is through them, and the records are always immaculate, come in poly lined sleeves and sound amazing.

I can't explain it, but the records themselves just feel better too.

They're pressings are obviously superior @Rev. Not sure where they have them done, but it's likely somewhere like Optimal.

For reference, M*ngo get all there stuff through GZ in the Czech Rep, who are used by many many labels, but from experience I can say that their quality control (and willingness to enter into discussion about same) varies quite a bit.
As I said before, it's Crap Shoot City, I'm afraid, when it comes to dealing with the 'bargain' option regarding vinyl pressing.

*EDIT* Just done a little checking - yeah, DG use Optimal in Germany. Very highly rated plant, not cheap, and very busy - not easy to get stuff in their pipeline.

Bought 'Sette', and added some Data Discs. I'm catching up on the main line.

Is white noisier than other full colors ? I don't remember which white record I have besides `Zombi - Spirit Animal` and `Ex Machina soundtrack`. I don't know why white would be worse than a full orange, yellow, blue,etc.. But I guess it's possible

Must admit I've heard this theory before but personally not seen it in my experience - any solid white wax I've had (and I have a fair few) have presented no issues.

Honestly the black is noisy too, not as bad as the con version, but not good either.

I just hope maybe someone in the future will give it a better pressing. It's one of my favorite OSTs and it's a shame to have a lackluster version .

Yeah, the Nonesuch 'Requiem For A Dream' is a terrific pressing, shame they couldn't tackle Fountain too!

Love that one too. The only thing I don't like is the cover art. I honestly don't get it.
