Actually, a quick search on Amazon shows a few more Richter soundtracks: http://www.amazon.com/s?_encoding=UTF8& ... lias=music

@reddye6 - I've always had a bit of a distaste for CDs, even as a teen when they were the big thing (almost all of the 90's!). The audio has always felt so thin, and too clean. For the majority of the music I listen to, I enjoy a bit of noise and sound modification (tape reels, vinyl wobble/slight warp) from the medium. Ambient music for example, to me at least, isn't very enjoyable on a CD...but you put the same music on vinyl or cassette, and I LOVE it. The same can easily be said for horror scores, synth music, black & doom metal, etc.

Having said all that, i do have a rather large collection of music on CD....I've just stopped buying CDs over the past 5 or so years. I don't ever listen to CDs in my car either, as I have an aux input now and a couple of iphones/ipods that I load up with music for travel. I don't have a CD player in my home any more...not a dedicated unit at least, just entertainment systems like PS3, Wii, & laptops that could play CDs. But when I'm home...I'm going to prefer listening to vinyl 100% of the time, unless I come across one of the more interesting cassettes I own.

Does that answer your question?

@reddye6: I was thinking of vinyl really, but thanks - a couple of those films I haven't even heard of. I know his music has featured in a quite a lot of films now (Shutter Island was one), but I thought he'd be getting commissioned to do more full scores by now. He's very talented.

[reddye6]

Yup! I'm always curious about a person's decision about his or her format of choice for music. I have a couple of friends who I never thought would stop with physical end up going completely digital for the point of saving space. I'd say my own purchasing is nearly split even between vinyl and CD (not counting cassettes). I do prefer CDs if I'm going to get extra music out of it, especially with the Carpenter soundtrack releases from a few years ago that had an extra CD worth of bonus material, or metal CDs released in Japan that also have bonus discs. I prefer vinyl when it comes to artists or music types that I enjoy a lot (soundtracks, experimental, electronic). Unfortunately, having young children keeps my time frame for listening to vinyl until after they've gone off to bed.

[ghostfires]

Yes, I understand the limits of vinyl for sure in terms of only being able to listen a certain times, not getting a full collection of music, etc. and that does suck at times, but overall I couldn't be happier with my vinyl collection.

I've done a pretty good job, so far at least, of keeping my 4 year old son really interested in vinyl. He loves going through the records to see all the art, and shockingly he loves the Carpenter music the most. The best thing to me is that The Fog is his favorite record! I bought the Blake's gold edition as a back up to my haze edition, but now it is going to be one of his b-day presents (along with four or five of the listen & read-along vinyl/book sets from the 80s of he-man, star wars, centurions, etc) to start off his own vinyl collection.

I still have to listen to some of my vinyl, especially the more abrasive or satanic-themed metal, once he's gone to bed or is outside playing.

I do understand your desire to track down the extras...I typically can find those online if I must hear them...that's always better than spending $50 on a CD out of Japan or the UK for just 4-10 extra short cuts. I typically am very content with whatever music I end up with on a cassette or record. I have SO many records and tapes, if there is something I'm after...I can entertain myself with plenty of music until the day that I either find what I want in the format I want it, or wait for a reissue to be released. I'm truly to the point where there isn't much music out there that I'm desperate for...I own almost every album that I truly love. I constantly sift through my collection too...weeding out anything I don't want, and putting it up for sale. I don't hold on to anything I don't like. I figure this way I've always got something great to listen to, and can pick other things up when they fall into the price range I want on the format I want.

The only music project I've ever bought everything from cassette to CD to vinyl regardless of what country it came from has been Enigma. I own about 92-100 Enigma items, mostly CD and vinyl. That obsession started when I was a kid though.

my dream it's that some label will press Max Richter's Waltz With Bashir
one of the best OST ever

[Tinyspider]

Hi, can anyone tell me what the term 'colourway' means? Ta.

[Pitch]

It refers to the colour of the vinyl - usually describing a unique or exclusive colour release - red vinyl, vommit splatter, clear etc

[DISCOSUCKS...]

Sure!

It means: exactly the same music, but produced in a version on coloured vinyl so that geeks* with unlimited disposable income/vinyl speculators can have something to be disproportionately excited about, and gleefully reap silly financial returns from other geeks (with even more loose change/who missed out initially) via online after market. These are increasingly "very limited and collectible" releases, pitched as being "for true fans/collectors", but in reality mainly fuel/encourage the clammy, cruddy practice of "record flipping" - the practice of seeing music as "frozen orange juice" or "pork bellies" futures. Much of this trading goes on in the wee small hours, particularly whilst significant others/children are out of the way.

It's a very mysterious, arcane rite of the 21st century, one that future post-apocalyptic Earth dwellers will be puzzling over in the ashes of civilisation for decades....

Must go, my tongue is causing my cheek some discomfort!

* (Yes, I of course know this pain and self-apply the term occasionally, so am qualified to tease)

[renpen21]

@discosucks, That is my favourite post ever...

[freshoj]

To me it means: 'non-black vinyl hides the dust better so I don't OCD with my record brush as much.'

[Tinyspider]

Thanks Pitch. Just never seen the term mentioned before now.

[Tinyspider]

Hehe thanks Discosucks, I'm glad I didn't ask about the dirty knife...!

[matowest]

Not sure if this has been posted, but it looks like there are vinyl releases for the soundtracks for INSIDIOUS and INSIDIOUS CHAPTER 2 available at Amazon.

[DISCOSUCKS...]

To quote Napoleon Wilson: "I have moments."

[Re-animated Cat]

Yep, what @discosucks wrote pretty much sums it up!

[DISCOSUCKS...]

Speaking of Mansell...it seems Invada have restocked on their back catalogue, including the Milan STOKER OST on white vinyl with d/load code- it's a terrific score if you missed it:

http://invadarecords.bigcartel.com/prod ... -load-card

I'd maybe message them on availability first - they haven't updated the prod description, which has their initial statement regarding "waiting for stock from supplier" and I recall I had a pretty good long wait for my copy to be shipped. Just sayin'

[liftman2013]

Is that really true? That black records have better sound quality than colour ways? I never knew that, not entirely sure I understand why
Then again, as much as I have come to love vinyl over the last few years thanks to Death Waltz etc, I've never completely understood that 'vinyl sounds better than CD' argument. Maybe Im missing out on something as I blast CDs out full pelt in my car driving into own, but in my house due to others there, I play Vinyl not quite as loud, plus it comes with that slight crackling noise.

[chandler75]

Well, it's partly that crackling noise that vinyl fans appreciate... Wasn't it John Peel who said, when asked why he preferred vinyls, "well, life has noise"

The color in vinyls is achieved by small grains (as I understand it) that can affect the sound, whereas black vinyl is "pure". But I find it's not always true that black is better.

I think the first two colored versions of "The Fog" are quite crackly, but so is the black version, actually. However, I think the Gold version sounds great and is superior in sound quality to the other three version. I don't know why. Maybe something was done to the sound or vinyl pressing process for the 2nd printing.

[tim28212]

I agree, I much prefer the "Blake's Gold" version of The Fog over the haze version, much, much quieter and an all together better listening experience. To me the difference is so big I have been considering selling my haze version in the gold version packaging. Haven't really decided on that yet.

[Re-animated Cat]

ok

[thedeepness]

I have the Haze and Gold versions and definitly agree that the Gold sounds better, BUT, that haze version is so Fuckin cool looking I am going to keep both.

[baphomet]

Hi All, new on here and thought it was time to lose my cherry and post something that might be of some use to someone....hopefully! Please dont shoot me if its already been mentioned. I have purchased the new Evil Dead Soundtrack off Deathwaltz records but not before I purchased the American copy too, so for fans of Evil Dead here is the link, ltd 1000.

http://unseenforces.us/

Also just picked up limited edition of Last House on the Left with free extremely limited flexi disc!

http://www.onewaystatic.com/categories/limited-editions

Hope this helps someone.

Great site by the way, some seasoned collectors on here, look forward to getting a heads up for future releases.

[chandler75]

One interesting point to remember though, is that ‘black’ vinyl is technically ‘coloured’ vinyl too. It’s just dyed black.

Really? I didn't know that. What is the original color (if any)?

[maxvelvet]

For the Joseph Bishara's estimators, the soundtrack for Insidious Chapter 2 will be released on vinyl next October 8.
