I hate I FUCKING HATE music industry. I do not usually do this but I will do bad things to get the music. (and belgian and french kiddies beware. I will be nice to the puppies though)

i couldn't give a toss about the format these days. it'll be nice on cd, but if its digial only so be it. its the music that only matters to me. i'm blown away that after 9 month since furthers release we are getting a new album of of original matterial. not only that but i'm expecting a deep and atmospheric soundscape of music. the chems exploring a new dimension to their sounds, its very exciting.

wonder what the uk release date is for the OST, 15th march being a tuesday sounds like an american release date.

^ This. And @goldeneyes it doesn't really have anything to do with the music industry, it's being put out on a label used for select movie soundtracks, I doubt it has enough money as say Astralwerks or Parlophone would to put out physical releases. It's an understandable move, not just a big money grab.

I like physical releases mainly for the artwork. A 320x320 .jpg doesn't quite deliver like a CD booklet or vinyl cover does. And I'm building my collection now, so the more physical releases the better.

It's new Chems so I won't complain. Maybe just one puppie, but I'll stop there.

see, for me also it is not just the music but everything it's coming along with, especially the artwork (this is why I hardly buy CDs but mostly vinyl) but also booklets, inner sleeves and everything which might be included as an extra. just having the music on my computer or ipod does not count that much. even though it's literally impossible to really listen to all of my 3000+ vinyls, mainly albums, I just love to take a look at them and put them back on the shelf... plus sitting down and enjoy their brilliant sound when I find the time. an mp3 is just... a fart compared to a monster truck when compared to the sound of vinyl. hence I am massively disappointed - I can well imagine the OST being full of tiny bits and pieces that best can be listened to with sennheiser HD650 or similiar but not from a crappy 320 kbps digital file. so, in the end it's the music also.

and I don't think it's a question of money for the label. this is a chemical brothers piece of music, it would sell a considerable number of cds and also few vinyl copies, they could've made them for djs and true supporters.

I have been disappointed that tom and ed have not released proper singles recently and also stopped the ebw series. I want don't think on vinyl and superflash and also the rock drill. and hanna OST, I have hardly ever been that much disappointed in terms of music release policy (and I have been a number of times when brilliant albums / singles would not get a vinyl release).

and I'm only 27! I did not grow up with vinyl as much as our older fellow forumites. to me, digital is part of my daily life.

more sad and disappointed rather than angry.

Might well be that all the tracks together would be too long to fit on a standard CD

That would be ok with me

Would you read a comic that is .jpg only, not paper ? It's the same thing, music is also a material thing to me. I don't blame mp3 in itself, it makes things easier, but to be honest I downloaded so many mp3s that I never took the time to listen to all of them. On the opposite I listened at least once to all the CD's and vinyls I bought. The absence of physical release for Hanna OST will leave a hole in my Chemical discs collection.

If the comic was really good and worth reading it: yes. If there was also a physical release, even a limited and expensive one: no; I'd be the book.

I also still read newspapers and magazines. And read books. Maybe I am old-fashioned.

And I also still have proper pictures/posters/art prints on my walls and no digital picture frames.

I agree with everything you said here and couldn't have said it better myself. I understand the tangible goods aspect but I have embraced (begrudgingly at first) digital goods.

I think people will have to agree to disagree on this subject... Accessibility is key in this day and age. Lots of people don't use iTunes so I hope more digital outlets besides iTunes can get on board.

Hopefully we all can agree that having 2 Chemical Brothers releases within a 9 month period is a freakin treat! And hopefully the movie will be as kick ass as we know the music will be. A door is being opened wide here. There's a lot to be excited about and it's an exciting time to be a Chemical Brothers fan!

After rewatching this teaser :

I think Hanna can be considered as the feminine version of Super Mecha Death Christ !

And concerning "Container Park", I'd say the fact that we all love it even if we haven't seen the movie yet confirms what I said earlier : we shouldn't need to see a movie to appreciate its soundtrack. Container Park is a lot more exciting than Derezzed IMO !

By the way did I mention that itunes sucks ?

Because...? You don't feel like downloading it?

Because of all the reasons we listed above. Don't know why he keeps talking about it - I think we've ALL figured out by now that bloke hates itunes. gni gni.

+1 to that.

I take back what I said about waiting to see the movie before the hearing the soundtrack. No freaking way will I be able to wait an entire month before hearing it.

WhiteNoise, on 05 March 2011 - 08:21 PM, said:

I agree about that, but I still want to hear the tracks for the first time live, I personally don't like knowing what to expect...

whoah! That little girl doesnt know how to play well with others.

Yeah, that's what it reminds me when she kills everyone :

(let me just catch up on this topic with one word : WOW!)

Now, it's my own opinion, but I think the Tron soundtrack was okay-ish, but it wasn't that thrilling to me. It didn't sound very original, and I think they tried a little bit too hard with all the strings and trumpets and lost their identity on that cd. There clearly are Daft Punk moments on that OST but it should have pervaded the whole thing. Maybe Disney got involved at some point and told them to do more classical stuff and get rid of more hardcore elements. After 'Discovery' (which was written with 'Interstella 5555' in mind) I was expecting much more, something I could listen to and like without having to watch the movie to appreciate it. A standalone record if you will. Which 'The Social Network' was to me and which 'Tron' is not. It sounds more like a 'soundtrack from any Hollywood composer ft. Daft Punk' to me.

Now from what i've heard so far from the Hanna soundtrack, hoping these tracks are representative of the whole ost, I'm thrilled because it clearly IS Chemical Brothers music. The whole new dimension of writing a score must have been a very interesting process for them and I'm glad they had the opportunity to expand their already extensive musical universe. It makes me look forward to listening to it even more and 10 days of waiting feel like a million years.
