It's almost like I'm hearing tape hiss on a rare 1st pressing of an album. This is truly fantastic. The amount of range present is constantly making me do double takes after all these years of watching Star Wars.

I've watched about half of Harmy's despecialized on my Logitech speakers matrixed into 5.1. It sounds good even in 2.0 and my soundcard isn't even that great. Hard to believe that yet again something wonderful can be sourced from the Definitive Collection.

I kept A/Bing between the 70mm and the 93, and this just is so much more subtle and detailed that it makes it seem like the 93 was a lower generation copy instead of the base. And the score just shines here. One of my complaints about the soundmixes has always been how the score usually suffers and that it gets partially subjugated to being behind all of the action. Not so here. It's made me drag out my soundtrack LP.

Brilliant work. I can't wait to hear it on my LD sound setup.

As far as Apocalypse goes, if you'd like to do a similar project.... ;) All of the 5.1 remixes I've heard have never given it justice. (4.2 70mm, 4.0 35mm) The original widescreen LD from the early 90's is phenomenal. I once read somewhere that Walter Murch essentially crammed the original 4.0 onto the digital track with no mucking about. It certainly sounds like it.
