Apparently the original music master tapes been lost and a multi-year search has yielded nothing, so Intrada made their CD master from a carefully mixed transfer from a virgin album copy. The results are quite excellent.<br /><br />Disappointing that the masters couldn't be found, but a great sounding release anyway...well worth picking up.

Luckily I...I'm still running plain ol' DVD. Luckily I was able to snatch the regular DVD version of this from Best Buy a couple of years ago for the Nice Price of $7.99. They include a behind-the-scenes short film documentary about the making of the movie, which was super cool, especially when they discuss the making of the maintenance drones.<br /><br />Yeah, that DVD cover art totally blows. You would think that it'd be so easy to slap the original movie poster art onto the box, for pete's sake. They probably spent more time making that cheezy "new" art! No love. No love.<br /><br />Sigh. <em>Silent Running</em> remains one of my all-time favorite movies. I saw it sometime in the late '70s on TV (I was about 6-7 yrs. old) and fell in love with those maintenance drones...obviously bawling my eyes out at the end when Dewey was left alone in that biosphere. It never fails to get me choked up even to this day, when I think about that. <br /><br />Scary how that movie and its social commentary is hitting closer and closer to home now than it was over 40 years ago. <br /><br />Yet, on a happier note, I recently made myself a life-sized paper craft Huey (#2) to keep me company. I thought you'd dig something like this.
