I had the same reaction to a Carpenters Remastered Box Set.  David Carpenter screwed with the original drum sounds.  He replaced a bunch of kick drums and NEVER time corrected them...ugh!

Never underestimate the ignorance and insecurity of the revisionists.
 
 
This is why I buy still buy vinyl for music, and excellent copy VHS (burned to DVD) for pre 1990 classic TV shows.
 
 
It may seem stupid, but when I buy those, I feel secure knowing no one has done an artistic rape of the original under the guise of digital remastering music, and/or adding CGI where there was none.
 
I know exactly what I'm getting.
 
 
In sum:
 
If it ain't broke - don't fix it
 
Leave well enough alone

Hi all-
   I just got the Sorcerer filmtrack cd, a 2011 issue.  Once again, Mr. Froese has screwed with the tracks, seemingly "updating" them.  The 'trons are mostly present, but a lot of new sounds have been added, which takes away from the brilliant simplicity of the original tracks.  In the late '90s, his efforts at fortifying old Tangerine Dream re-issues were credited somehow on the recordings, so we had some warning at least.  Not so on this one.  The CD notes are extensive, and indicate that the original recordings stood the test of time.  I am quite disappointed with this CD.  The original music didn't need anything else.  I simply was hoping to get a sound that was better than the old MCA pressing, which was poorly done & noisy.  Avoid this CD if possible.  It has a "Reactive" label, # EREACD 1023.  A waste of money.
