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.
