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.

Not crazy bout it either - I get it though, they were clearly going for more of a 'this is contemporary classical music vibe', rather than an 'ASS TO ASS!!' vibe.

Haha!

In some comments on FB posts, El Hickman mentioned that Mongo are repressing THE FOUNTAIN and also re-issuing BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA. For thems that are interested in such things.

Those are two records I do not yet own I might be interested in :-)
However, the last few days I have been having mixed feelings about where to take my record collecting.

Oh god. I will GLADLY replace my Xibalba Splatter release for a black pressing!

In case anyone is interested - although there isn't an 'official' expanded release of Thief out there, somebody put together this which has extended film versions of cues and a different version of Safan's 'Confrontation/End Titles' cue etc. It's pretty damn great - extras must have been pulled straight from a print.

YES. I'm in for Dracula for sure ! Already have The Fountain.

Thanks for the link ScoJo. gonna stream that Thief later today.

This is the CD source out of interest:

It seems like they have sourced tracks from few different places, including studio LPs and the film itself.

Bixio/Frizzi/Tempera - Sette Note In Nero 2LP retail black vinyl up for preorder at LitA for $34. Listing mentions it also includes a 425gsm gatefold jacket housed inside a spot varnish die-cut outer jacket. This makes me very happy.

That's a really awesome cover.

Yeah, I dig it more than the one Mondo had.

Really doubling down on these die cut jackets lately.

Yeah I'm not a big fan. Not nearly as bad as. Ohh cool, fight club, I have to tear it open to get to the vinyl and it's a single sleeve to boot. Joy.

I get the novelty and cool/wow factor but they just suck to deal with and keep from being damaged. I've already creased and messed up a corner on my sette note in nero slip cover thing

The Fight club packaging is perfect :)
(Don't tear it open though, just slice open along the flap and let yourself be scolded about trying to control everything )

I did that personally, sliced through with a knife, but I just wish they offered normal packaging. I get it, it's amusing, but not for me.

In the Mood for Love 2LP this Wednesday $35. This is a welcome price compared to that HK set at $70. I don't love the art but honestly it's one of the better Mondo covers so I'll take it.

Also a new pressing of The Fountain. Pissed it's only available in a mixed color, but hopefully it's listenable. I had sold my splatter of the original because it was near unlistenable

With that in mind, we decided that it’s time to, in-earnest, kick off a proper Tenth Anniversary Celebration! Starting next Wednesday, we will begin a 10-week long campaign of non-stop, all-new Mondo and Death Waltz releases (over 15 just from our labels alone). From celebrated classics to hit TV shows, from AAA video game titles to animated masterpieces, we’ve got also got multiple soundtracks to highly anticipated new films hitting cinemas this fall ... and even a classic soundtrack that is over 80 years old! All absolute bangers.

So if I read this correctly they will release 15 new records in 10 weeks starting next week..

What would that over 80 year old classic soundtrack be: Fantasia?

That "artwork" sure is...something

you guys wanna know what fucked up a young inks? I was going through our drawer of VHS tapes when I was a around 5 or 6, I put in a tape I thought had one of my movies on it, it did not, it had Full Metal Jacket and just so happened to be stopped right before the suicide scene. Well I watched that and while I didn't know what it was, the imagery of that scene were burned into my head permanently, it was something that would randomly pop into my head for years and I didn't quite understand why. I watched Full Metal Jacket in my teens and it clicked, I finally realized what this scene that had haunted me from a young age was from. It was a strange feeling of relief.

The Shining had a similar situation for me with the bathtub scene. And at some point I caught an image of Freddy Krueger at a very young age that caused me to have a recurring nightmare for almost a decade of a giant Freddy killing me in the bathroom at a house I lived in when I was 4 years old. Kinder trauma

Looks like Full Metal Jacket is still readily available from Barnes & Noble, too.
