Unfortunately I haven't had much time to work on this recently, so nothing new to relate, but I hope to get back to it soon.

Just for fun, however, I put together a little comparison between the original mix and the 2004 version. I've often gone on at length about how the remix is a pile of unlistenable rubbish, so for anyone who's interested, you'll be able to hear them side by side and understand what I'm talking about.

I used the beginning of the movie since to me it is the most objectionable part of the whole thing. The original has an open sound with strong dynamics, while the remix is flat and dull with little tonal variation, and seems almost muffled enough to have been recorded through a blanket. See if you can tell which is which. ;)
