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.
