The original synth score always sounded more like a demo track than a finished product, to me. I think the new version sounds better - my guess is that if they'd had the money, they'd have done it this way the first time.Simon Boothnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28108120.post-6356881145638312052009-11-18T07:27:46.059-05:002009-11-18T07:27:46.059-05:00The new version was a dissapointment as far as I&#...The new version was a dissapointment as far as I'm concerned (but I got to watch it on big screen which helped to ease the frustration). I was expecting more of a cleaned up print than the blatant changes that made the film more viewer friendly.<br /><br />I love the old score and very glad that I'm not the only one who prefers it to the new one.eliza bennethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01997101330508195099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28108120.post-91733837081621372182009-11-14T13:27:13.865-05:002009-11-14T13:27:13.865-05:00It's out on DVD in the US, though there is a U...It's out on DVD in the US, though there is a UK Blu-ray.Stevenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28108120.post-90180242013248937092009-11-14T11:37:04.249-05:002009-11-14T11:37:04.249-05:00I haven't actually seen the new version yet.

Listening to these so...Oooh... thanks for sharing!<br /><br />Listening to these songs again makes me realize that I love the original music just as much as I love the film. The new score was definitely the biggest problem I had with Ashes of Time Redux. Honestly, getting Yo-Yo Ma to recreate the score seems like a marketing decision that in the end didn't pay off.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
