i just received mine today. personally i think that's it's awesome. i've been listening to it ever since i received it. if anyone gets like a number 1 of 5000 or some low number like that, i'd like to know just out of curiosity. (i have 243/5000)

I ordered mine directly from Numenorean last Thursday 5/1 and received it on Monday 5/5. It does sound pretty darn good. (Got #231, for those who care...)

Personally I think I prefer the album version vs. the actual film score version... Which is actually something I've discovered a lot with other soundtracks, too (such as the original "Close Encounters" and "E.T." soundtracks vs. the anniversary ones which had the actual film music). I guess there was something to "we edited it and rearranged it to make it sound better" after all! :smile:

But in most cases I'm delighted to have both the original streamlined album and the actual score, as is the case with the "Dark Crystal."
