Well....it turns out that this is just terrific!

And this sounds bloody incredible! I passed on this Audio Fidelity re-issue initially because the UK price was stoopid, but managed to get one for half that price and just WOW. All I will say is, if you love this score and can get the reissue for £20 or so, just do it. I'm especially psyched because it's a repress of the OG US release, featuring Craig Safan's mighty 'Confrontation' track (not on my original UK edition...)

finally put this ahead of other purchases

@Tim

A beautiful score, great film too!

[tim28212]

@ScoJo, I agree. I need to revisit the movie, the score is lovely! Not really sure why I put off getting it for so long. Still can be had for a cheap price.

this one is really short, but ohhh so sweet

[tim28212]

the remix of Like A Prayer and Vogue alone are worth the price but everything else on the double LP is great also.

Square record listening ritual tonight.

Both of these are quite enjoyable at 33rpm for me. I am at full attention for the upcoming Pentagram Home Video LP on Death Waltz Originals. Great tracks from Maiovvi as well -- dark and strange electronics for the Transmission opening, very fitting. Thank you @SpunOutOfControl for the vinyl assist.

Impossible to not spin this again after those little lathe-cut appetizers:
One of my favorite recent split EP's. Future technoir.
I finally preordered the expanded Terminator 2LP on Milan this week. Quite excited for that one.

Taking my Edda worship to the very pinnacle tonight:

I love everything about this, and especially her voice over a 4/4 kickdrum. Disco Morricone!

no breaks just heartaches.

X-Men is an excellent score. Played the heck out of it when I first got it.

@tim watched the movie on 4k bluray last night and it gave me a hankering to give the score a spin. :)

[deafmetal]

Utterly sublime. A great accomplishment for just "percussion, voices, and strings" as the liner notes say. Wonderful pressing on the bronze vinyl as well. This is going to get a lot of listens.

Heads up, it's 45rpm! I didn't notice for the first few tracks. :)

[deafmetal]

I feel an ongoing theme brewing tonight:

Exquisite. Worthy of all the praise it has received and then more. Lush package by Milan. Amazed that I was able to order an autographed copy of this (signed under the shrinkwrap even), as I am a big fan of Sakamoto-sama. Even the choices for the colored vinyl are really inspired. I don't know what is in the water over there at Milan, but they are firing on all cylinders right now.

Very Nice @deafmetal!

Disappointingly i was unable to attend his signing at Other Music in NYC on the drop day, Always loved his work. Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence remains a favorite film and a favorite score. My all time favorite film is The Last Emperor...not only is he in the film, but he collaborated with David Bryne on the score, which is really a masterpiece.

I know Milan was doing a repress of MCML, but i've not heard anything more about it since i saw the teased artwork, but will definitely be picking that up to supplement my OP

Ok, my first time adding to the vinyl voyeurism.

[deafmetal]

@reddye6 - Great to see other people posting in this thread. It's one of my favorites for sharing music and recommendations. I am not familiar with Markey Funk, but I will check it out.


Enjoyable compilation I picked up on the cheap.

[tim28212]

For anyone who put off getting this superb score from Alexandre Desplat way back, it can now be had on Amazon from importcds for a mere $11.34 + $4 shipping. Most likely it will be the black vinyl version but well worth the cost. Still not sure? the score can be heard on Spotify.

[texasvinyl]

I like that one especially the first track if I'm remembering.

[deafmetal]

@Tim - Thank for the tip. I had passed on that one when it first came out, but will probably revisit that decision now. :)

@deaf, I personally think it is well worth $15. The bass will really give your system a workout. But, $15 is $15 after all so sample it on Spotify or youtube if you're not sure.
