just an opinion alright, I'm done quoting for the day. see ya all tomorrow :sleepy:

funny you say that, cuz Lucas said that the only thing about the first movie that exceeded his expectations was Williams' score.

Well he did added scenes on the first special edition. Even changed the some actor (Anakin on ROTJ I think?) to coincide with the new trilogy. Totally redid ships, alien characters... you name it. Do a google and you'll be surprised. I would be pissed if David Gilmour decided to re-do some of his early solos, bury the originals away and hope people forget they even existed. JMHO

I too hold an electronics degree, but who cares. This is music we're talking about. I suggest you thoroughly read this page before saying one is better than the other one. http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2004/10/8/134958/152

I don't think I included any from A/R so Maxwell's Silver Hammes for the cowbell thingies do the medleys count?

alright lets see here Yes it does. Why do you think CDs spin so fast? Is not so they look futuristic. The faster it goes, the more information can be read at a period of time, the more info, the better it will sound. Just like a picture with higher resolution looks better than another one with a lower one. Same reason 45rpm records sound better than 33rpm. This is a fact. That's why I said this: "The huge advantage of digital is that sound won't decay no matter how much you play it." The sound of a brand new reel of tape on a clean head will not suffer from the contact. Only after repeated play it will suffer. Digital can technically last for ever. The question is what you mean by better. Is it the sound or convenience and longetivity. My father apraised many pressing facilities and I've seen how they are made. Is mass production at it's best. Again the question above and that doesn't make you an audiophile. Maybe products intended for the end user, not for professional use. And again: is all about convenience. Better by miles. I love CD's. I can play them as many times I want without worrying about sound loss. Plus the skipping, size and the ability to easily make copies of it. That doesn't mean digital sound is better than analog.

since many Beatles fans will be checking out this thread, i decided to post here Let It Be... Paul funniestthing I've seen today... and is midnight

from http://www.turnmeondeadman.net/IBP/Walrus.html about people trying to find clues about Paul's death on I Am The Walrus: "To look for clues in "I Am the Walrus" is rather ironic, since, according to Pete Shotton, John intended to write a song with nonsensical imagery to confound those who looked for significance in every Beatle lyric. After recalling a grotesque song they used to sing as children, John strung together the most ludicrous imagery he could think of. Shotton recalls that after writing the song, "He turned to me, smiling. 'Let the f_ckers work that one out, Pete.'" [1] Still, this hasn't stopped people from looking for "Paul is dead" clues in the song." and from http://aboutthebeatles.com/song-i_am_the_walrus.html "I Am the Walrus" was made up of three distinctly different songs--the first is the beginning of the song, which John was given the idea of by hearing a distant police siren. The second song was about John sitting in his garden at home ("sitting in an English garden..."). The third was a song which was invented after John learned that a teacher was having his students study Beatles songs for meaning. John created the song with nonsense lines such as "elementary penguins", "sitting on a cornflake", and "crabalocker". John later said "Let (the students) work that one out." "I Am the Walrus" is notorious for being one of the first rock songs to use an orchestra. ELO leader and "Free As A Bird" producer Jeff Lynne said that the arrangement of "I Am the Walrus" heavily influenced the sound of his band." I guess is a little bit of this with some of that just to screw up people trying to find any meanings ::

I like the blinking, colorful lights ::

Americans invented it, the english perfected it.

Yes indeed. A study not too long ago shows that it costs an average of about $1.25 to put a CD on the shefves, after marketing and all. It's also cheaper to press a DVD than to make a VHS tape with all the mechanical parts and all. Is all about how much people are eager to pay.

oooo I wanna be a chupacabra

Mr. Kite - the 3d sound effects Don't Let Me Down - John's vocal performance A Day In The Life - best song ever recorded Taxman - the drum rolls and lyrics Let It Be - the whole aura around it And Your Bird Can Sing - even though John says it doesn't make sense, it is musically great and the harmonies are freaking awesome I'm Only Sleeping - what alicenchains said and the backward guitars Tomorrow Never Knows - the drums, vocals and all the sounds Fixing A Hole - don't know, I just like it a lot Hello Goodbye - what Old 55 said I could go on for ever

Is being said that Radiohead tries to sound like all sorts of bands including Pink Floyd, which could not be farther than the truth. btw, which riff is he talking about? All I hear is a few arpeggios and chords Why don't you ask your teacher?

Digital is not better than analog. You can't compare a VHS which runs slow as hell with a DVD that spins so fast. Just like you can't compare a record with a CD. A more fair comparison would be with a studio reel to reel recorder which goes faster and is of much better quality. As I mentioned before, is cheaper to make digital media and equipment. Analog media and equipment for the end user does not give it justice. Digital is simply much more convenient and more easily mass produced.

An analog recording is an image of sound as a whole. Digital is made up of bits and tiny sections with the corresponding gaps. Technicly, analog should sound better than digital since everything is there. The huge advantage of digital is that sound won't decay no matter how much you play it. Oh and a good CD player is much cheaper than a good turntable, amp and speakers. I love them both but as a visual experience, ther's nothing like vinyl records

Where's Sammy??? Maybe he doesn't like Rush Oh well her's the inevitable MUSICAL INTERLUDE My uncle has a country place, that no one knows about He says it used to be a farm, before the motor law And on sundays I elude the ?eyes? and hop the turbine freight To far outside the wire, where my white-haired uncle waits. Jump to the ground As the turbo slows to cross the borderline Run like the wind, As excitement shivers up and down my spine Down in his barn My uncle preserved for me, an old machine --- For fifty-odd years To keep it as new has been his dearest dream I strip away the old debris, that hides a shining car A brilliant red barchetta, from a better, vanished time I fire up the willing engine, responding with a roar Tires spitting gravel, I commit my weekly crime... Wind in my hair --- Shifting and drifting --- Mechanical music --- Adrenalin surge --- Well-weathered leather Hot metal and oil The scented country air Sunlight on chrome The blur of the landscape Every nerve aware Suddenly, ahead of me, across the mountainside A gleaming alloy air-car shoots towards me, two lanes wide I spin around with shrieking tires, to run the deadly race Go screaming through the valley as another joins the chase Drive like the wind Straining the limits of machine and man Laughing out loud With fear and hope, I?ve got a desperate plan At the one-lane bridge I leave the giants stranded At the riverside Race back to the farm To dream with my uncle At the fireside...

'I lie awake, staring out at the bleakness of Megadon. City and sky become one, merging into a single plane, a vast sea of unbroken grey. The Twin Moons, just two pale orbs as they trace their way across the steely sky. I used to think I had a pretty good life here, just plugging into my machine for the day, then watching Templevision or reading a Temple Paper in the evening. 'My friend Jon always said it was nicer here than under the atmospheric domes of the Outer Planets. We have had peace since 2062, when the surviving planets were banded together under the Red Star of the Solar Federation. The less fortunate gave us a few new moons. I believed what I was told. I thought it was a good life, I thought I was happy. Then I found something that changed it all...' Anonymous, 2112

Here's one of the best Paul-is-dead sites I've seen. It's got a page for each album http://www.turnmeondeadman.net/IBP/Intro.html

I still remmember the first time I heard that song somewhere in the 80s. It blew my freaking mind away. It's a freaking great song. Reminds me of the post about Dylan's Rolling Stone being the best song ever. I don't know what is it about that song, but it's one of my favs too. I can't explain it. Everything, the progression, the choice of instruments, sound and silence, the performance, lyrics... everything comes together into a single great song. btw, I could not care less about the magazine.

Or Sugarhill's Rapper's Delight.

So this new DVD box set contains versions that have been edited even more. What do you think? Should he keep messing with history like that? I think he should get a life and move on. I decided not to buy the set and instead downloaded the laserdisc versions that someone turned into these cool DVD's and I could not be happier. I'm I a geek for being a Star Wars purist? Whatever the answer, I will not buy untill you release the untouch original versions I grew up with, Mr. Lucas.

Yes. Actually all Kazaa versions connect to the same network, but K++ lets you search forever which is a HUGE advantage over the regular one, not to mention the lack of spyware and the IP blocker . But don't go there too often cuz Big Brother is watching...
