I should also point out—and please treat this information seriously—that the 5.1 mix was designed for high performance sound systems and may not give ideal results on equipment that cannot cope with wide dynamic range material and high levels of bass. It will also not sound its best if downmixed to stereo. Obviously I have no control over how people listen to it, so it was necessary to do a bit of tweaking to the surround channels in order to make stereo playback at least sound acceptable (it would have been quite horrible if I hadn't done this, due to excessive comb filtering from out of phase signals). But since the 35mm stereo mix is itself very good, I must recommend that anyone watching the movie with a 2-channel sound system choose that version instead, rather than downmixing the 5.1 mix. Content-wise they are identical, and the greater midrange emphasis of its EQ makes it more suitable for the kinds of sound systems people are likely to have.

hairy_hen, any chance you have the 1980 5.1 DTS-HD-MA track without the high levels of bass? I have a fairly serious home theater setup, and this audio is just too intense for me. It would be great to have this audio track, but with bass levels that are similar to other films. Thanks!
