Keep lurking at this page every other month, long time fan here who can’t stand the replacement songs. I was wondering if there’s anything I could do to help you. I don’t have any original audios but I’ve got some sound editing knowledge and would love to work on a project like this.

Hi bun! Thanks for your interest in this project. At the moment, the project is on hiatus because of real life commitments, but I plan on getting back into working on these next month. I’ll send you a PM once the project is off hiatus and let’s see if we can set something up!

Don’t know if you’re aware or not but there’s another Felicity restoration project in the works: https://www.instagram.com/felicityrestorationproject/?hl=en

Yup, I know. We’ve connected, but for now, we’re continuing to work on our own Felicity projects separately.

Hey there! So I was wandering how’s the project going? I would very very much love for it to see the light!

It’s still going! I just had to slow down a lot due to real life commitments and hard drive issues, but I’m slowly picking the pace back up. Hope to have S1 finished in the next few months.

My wife has the original music CDs. I dont know if that would be helpful or not to you. This is a really cool project. I didnt know the originally aired show used one set of music, and then the DVD potentially used another (she has all the DVD as well) and now what’s available to stream through Hulu has a third!

Side note, I downloaded what I could find from the web and my wife says it matches the DVD but I dont know if it’s just a DVD rip or something else.

just saying hi encourage this and let you know one more person is stoked on it

Hopefully not rude to ask this but any updates on this project?

Thanks for your interest! All updates can be seen in the first post in this thread. I’m still working on these, but real life has unfortunately carved out a lot of my time recently so I’m not as fast as I used to be.

Hello! I’m currently watching Felicity for the FIRST TIME. I know, I know…but I was graduating high school when the show ended and wasn’t allowed to watch it back then. I found my perfect moment to watch it now as I’m getting over an illness. I was so distracted by the bad music and knew it couldn’t be right. This curiosity led me to do some digging and land here. There is an Apple Playlist by Derek Paiva that lists songs like Save Tonight by Eagle Eye Cherry, Spill the Wine by War, I love you Anyways by Travis and I am just gutted (not really, but soul punched) that I’m missing out on the experience of these songs that were specifically paired with moments on the show. Instead I’m getting some sort of PBS reminiscent ditties. Here to encourage and thank you for your efforts in your project! Let me know if there are other outlets to follow you on please!

Are all of the DVDs changed? It looks like there’s a DVD release from 2003 and 2012 so I wasn’t sure if it was just altered for the second release? Thanks!

Yes, but those 2 are pretty different, the original release (from Buena Vista) between 2002 and 2005 has a few original songs left intact and it looks like more thought went into replacing certain songs.

The 2012/13 release (from LionsGate) is much inferior since the few original songs left in the first release got replaced. And even some of the replacement songs are replaced in this new release (and they aren’t as good) meaning there are 3 different versions of the soundtrack. That 3rd version is the one used for streaming services.
The video is also a lot more compressed since they crammed the eps into 3 discs instead of the usual 6.

There also was a re-release in 2009 (from ABC studios, new name of Buena Vista) which as far as I know contains the same discs as the original release.

Bottom line, if you’d like to own the dvds, definitely try to find the original 6 disc release for each season.

Hi there

Just wondering if there are any updates on this project? Are you still working on it?

Still slowly working on it, but personal job related projects and currently transferring my files to a larger hard drive has slowed things to almost a crawl. But this project isn’t abandoned.

In case anyone is subscribed to this thread, this project has been abandoned due to a variety of factors. I’ll go into slightly more details about specifics once I’m given the okay. Nothing dramatic, but more exciting. So stay tuned!
