Maybe he's taking the wrong drugs....or worse yet...no drugs at all...has anyone heard of any 'improvements' on Epsylon in Malasian Pale'?

The Stratosfear update was scary.

 

Apparently He and Jerome are at loggerheads over this

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.
