Hi guys...

I just want to post a quick message to everybody on the forums. This will probably make you cringe and this is about the time you clicked off of it, but I wanted to pull this message through anyway.
I joined Shrine more or less this time last year, looking for The Secret Life of Walter Mitty score. I downloaded it, and a few days later, I found that a certain SkeletonMan had uploaded a full rip of the LEGO Movie. That was when I started searching the forums and thought "Wow, this place looks great". I signed up, messaged SkeletonMan, and I finally got what I had been looking for for a long, long time - the LEGO Movie's full ripped score. Let's just say I was a very happy guy that day.

Ok, so, I'm 14. Believe what you want, but that's the case. I fell in love with film and game music when I played Prince of Persia on the PS2, and ever since then I have been a regular on the Ultimate Collection thread for the games, doing the best I can to remove voices from the unextractable cutscenes.
I don't want this to be too long, but I just wanted to say thank-you to everybody on the forums who have helped me understand more about music. Before I joined here, I had never heard of FLAC, had no idea what "lossless" meant, and didn't know the first thing about bitrates, but people on here have helped me develop a much better understanding of the beauty of music, and I thank you all for that.

I was just a bit older than you are now, Slurpuff, when I joined the Shrine 4 1/2 years ago, and I too have learnt so much from this place and the kind, helpful folks who also live here. I echo your warm thanks to all here who have helped me and taught me over the last few years. It is very much appreciated indeed.

And my iTunes would be a lot emptier if I'd never found this treasure trove. I'm so glad I did. :)

I appreciate everyone who posts here. Thank you for this thread, SillySlurpuff!

:D

Honestly looking back I can't stand that rip; too many SFX. I should have just done an "expanded". But I'm glad you liked it!

What I like about this place is that the people here actually care about the music they share, as opposed to this being just another warez site with uploaders sharing links to whatever the hell they found on KickAss torrents.

I've learned more about the technical side of music and frankly some of it has blown my mind.

As Sulley said, my music library is amazingly huge thanks to the great guys here.

it's never too early or too late to tell someone "thank you" =)

I wanted to say thank-you to Mr. Horner for creating beautiful music, but it's too late.

Indeed. Same here.

I'll just thank everyone for the music and the company.






And SillySlurpuff for kicking this lovefest of a thread off.

My love for film music also started at a young age, although much younger than 14. By the time I was 14 I already had lots of OST CDs in my collection. The Lion King was my first, that's where it all began. Got the cassette as a birthday present in 1995.

I too am glad that (most) people here care for the music. That's what it's all about, right? And because of that, I know some people on here who have met others in person. I'll be doing that in August and I'm looking forward to it. Never thought I'd meet someone from the internet simply because of our love for film music, but it's happening.

This place has definitely been an eye opener, I will say that much.

This is a beautiful thread. :)

i disagree :)
The universe does not waste energy. And positive energy like this is never wasted either, in my belief, not for Horner either.
This energy will reach him somehow, too.


a sweet idea for a thread. Threads like these help to keep the balance to others...

This site definitely opened doors to new places and sounds, thanks everyone!

I just came here to get the music I couldn't buy or extract myself such as in-game music for Spec Ops: The Line, Kill.Switch & various other games. Now not only have I been able to acquire a wealth of music my money nor game extracting knowledge couldn't acquire thanks to those that could, but I've also been granted the knowledge of how to make my CDs worth more than any offerings by current digital distributors that don't offer lossless options as well as the tools of how to do so & share it with others myself.

So a big thank you to the various & many people here that have given that to me, that much I can certainly say!

Well Said.

Yes A Huge Thank You To Everyone For Sharing Their Music Collection With Me! I Am Eternally Grateful.
I Have Made Many Friends Here Whom I So Look Forward to Speaking to Each Day And That Is Swell.

So Thanks From the Bottom of My Heart And I Look Forward To New Days And Shares To Come

This is a beautiful thread. :)
