Re: Apparant Sunshine Soundtrack Release Date/Sunshine OST (where is it?)
 

will be interesting to see how this goes around christmas time,
(and even thanksgiving)

as the HD-DVD units are going for $200 and even $100
with free movies, bundles, etc..

i haven't committed to a format yet, but this is
very tempting.

to be honest, i don't see a difference in AV quality between the two. i just loathe the way sony creates these format wars by trying to go all proprietary about it. it's an anti-sony opinion, not a real preference between the two formats.

I would expect the music will not wind up in the ether... another RuverRun perhaps? I can't see Underworld silently letting an album (or EP's) worth of new music fade to nothing... I may be wrong, but I'd think a digital release of their portions would be forthcoming if the entire soundtrack went tits up.

there's likely a tangle of legal issues to be sorted out before something like that would happen. they aren't the sole owners of the material.

Re: Apparant Sunshine Soundtrack Release Date/Sunshine OST (where is it?)
 

right - so like, even if we eventually get that material, I can't imagine it being exactly like how it was for the soundtrack.

Like, I can see them taking the source material and twisting it around a bit and developing it into something else... but even then - I can't imagine that'd happen for a few years time. I mean, we just got a new album, plus there's the tour

and didn't karl say a while back that the next project after the album, the tour, etc etc was going to be something with Brian Eno? Or was that just a 'maybe possibly' sort of thing

Re: Apparant Sunshine Soundtrack Release Date/Sunshine OST (where is it?)
 

Karl says a lot of things. Remember when we were going to get a new album in 2005? And then 2006?

In any case, I think we will get the Sunshine score proper soon. John Murphy's been writing on the IMDB forums recently, and he's indicating that it's Underworld's lawyers holding up the release.

I think it's dumb to think it's not being released now because of OWB. All those live albums came out at the same time as the album, why not this soundtrack? It should have been released before the movie like Breaking and Entering was.

Re: Apparant Sunshine Soundtrack Release Date/Sunshine OST (where is it?)
 

i'll bet the lawyers are getting all hung up about who gets properly credited for what contribution.

if you look at the forum on the site dedicated to the movie, most people over there seem to feel strongly that john murphy did the lion's share of the work and underworld just piddled around in the background, contributing very little. someone even referred to their contribution as little more than the "abomination" over the ending credits.

i've read a lot of contradiction about who should get the primary credit for the work. i wouldn't be a bit surprised if some of the hangup is about credit.

Yer, odd people think JM did most work when we knoe To Heal was knocking around for a long time via LemonWorld broadcasts.

Re: Apparant Sunshine Soundtrack Release Date/Sunshine OST (where is it?)
 

to illustrate my point:



call me a poor sport, but this guy wouldn't know good music if it bit him on the nose. wasn't the track over the ending credits "peggy sussed"? that's a great goddamned track.
