oh shiiiiit cool! What was obviously the intended album assembly of the OST leaked to the soundtrack nerd forums last year, in listenable but not great sound. Hopefully this is a higher-fi version of that!

Some good reading here (and on uncanny film scoring in general):

ugh this is so good

is Waxworks a vinyl only label or am I going to be able to buy this?

vinyl only, looks like :-(

oh well glad I downloaded the soundcloud stream even if was only 128 bit.

Finally saw this! Generally amazing. Cut 'utopian' ending is also findable now.

The recent super deluxe Blu-Ray (Euro only) has the lost ending.

On Talking Pictures right now. Pretty great so far.

I’m still waiting for a bluray I ordered back in ... March?

The ants don't want you to have it.

Hell yeah.
