I want to chime in...

As some of you may know, I was behind one of the 2-DVD versions of the "Original Theatrical Cut" (recently found on TPB), and I had mastered my Criterion LD rip to 16x9, adding "Future Shocks" on the extras disc from a personal, digital TV capture...

I hope it'll be my version of "Future Shocks" that you guys will be using for this set, I've seen an alternative .mpg circulating on the net, and it's quite inferior to it... I believe it's my "Future Shocks" version that digitalfreaknyc has used on his HD-DVD dual set.
My second DVD also contained the Esper soundtrack in a lossless format, by the way.


Cheers, you guys are cool! keep up the good work! It's been a wonderful surprise to discover like-minded people in this world!

PS: There is an interesting interview available on bladezone site, concerning various soundtracks. Here's the link:

Might be of some value. By the way, the site contains audio rips of the Harrison Ford CD mentioned earlier in this thread.

FYI, here's some trivia: the so-called "Gongo Release" is not, by any means, "made in Romania". There are several things which indicate this: 1) the words are spelled very badly and the titles of the tracks are full of grammar errors; 2) the syntax of the phrase is strange, it appears as if someone was literally translating in Romanian some phrases which were originally conceived in English; 3) There is no such thing as a "Gongo Romania" label, and 4) - "the smoking gun", if you wish, that country did not have its own CD production facilities until 1998 (!)... even the largest official labels were pressing their discs in Hungary.
