Note: as previously mentioned, this is one of my favorite film scores and with that being said, I'm not the only one. The limited 1,500 copy run sold out as fast as you could expect and is now a highly sought after collectible in both its black and clear turquoise versions, each one running for a pretty penny with the clear turquoise being the obviously more expensive option. Tip for those looking for the clear turquoise vinyl: good luck finding this album on eBay AT ALL so Discogs is going to be your best bet. I managed to successfully track down copies of both editions of the vinyl (of course, not until after shelling out more than I cared to) and I'm finally glad the search is over. This really is a top-notch score from Italian composer Fabio Frizzi who composed other classics such as Seven Notes in Black (the theme used in Kill Bill being the most popular) and Lucio Fulci's Zombi 2. It is definitely an album that makes for an enjoyable vinyl experience and while many of you may struggle to find a copy of these vinyls to hear it yourself, I'm here to take care of that for you. I used the black vinyl to rip as I'm wanting to keep my clear turquoise vinyl in mint condition but coincidentally NOT to sell. I'm a collector. I only get rid of what I don't need. The Beyond belongs in my collection. The clear turquoise edition is my own consolation prize for all those years I tried to find the now super rare limited edition tin that Anchor Bay put out it seems many lives ago, only to come up empty-handed.
Since the black vinyl was in mint unplayed condition when I received it, there was very little snap, crackle and pop this time around. I did apply a VERY LIGHT pop/crackle filter but only to remove the more obstrusive anomalies which there was very little of so the sound is as uncompromised as I could make it without having to sacrifice too much. I did not notice much, if any, quality loss as a result of doing so but someone out there with better ears than me can be the final judge of that. Either way, it sounds great to me.
This was a lovingly remastered effort from Mondo Records (a new company at the time) but to my disappointment I don't believe the master that was used was analog but instead digital as my digitally remastered version features the same vinyl-sounding pop in track 9 right before the last note. You won't hear it in this version as my filter removes it but if you go back to my deluxe edition you will hear it. Other than that, there are no complaints.
Contrary to what I had posted in my deluxe edition thread, this DOES include the main title guitar cue I discovered during the rip. It's gonna be track 8 on Side B (labeled 3 on the markers only because my original markers got deleted and yeah there's that damn time factor again -.-). As with the Alan Parsons Project album, I did not have time to properly split these so they are split up into 2 tracks with 1 being Side A's contents and the other Side B's contents. While I wasn't happy with the organization of some of the cues on this album, by its conclusion I simply didn't want it to end.
Unlike TAPP, I did get a quick second to tag but forgot to include cover art with the tags so my apologies for that. These days have been lonnnnnnnng and busssssssy. I'm just glad I get to do these at all nowadays.
As I mentioned, I'm not a huge fan of the organization of this album as the cues are wildly out of order. Some tracks do seem to maintain a strong flow while other tracks felt like they belong elsewhere. For instance, the main title and finale cues are played one after the other in track 8 on side B. Prior to that is an "action" cue that appeared at an even more random spot in the film that belonged elsewhere, not bundled with these two pieces but that's my two cents.
Anyway, I greatly hope you enjoy listening to this as much as I enjoyed ripping it.
And you will face the sea of darkness, and all therein that may be explored.
