Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back (ABC's Soundtrack Salvage)

"(From the ANTHOLOGY + the SPECIAL EDITION)

"Here is a score that was very difficult to deal with, due to a certain lack of flexibility in its sound. It is to be said I wasn’ t satisfied with the result until I’ve heard the RSO transfer from 7FN, though its qualities remain at a different level.

"The RSO provides a strong consistency and clarity for instruments like flutes and triangle what is not the case of my version where they are more “hidding” behind. However, the real surprise is that my remastered version brought sounds that are nearly absent on the RSO, as for archers stroke on cellos on some cues for exemple, and even gratings from the musicians chairs during many silences. This one version has finally a far better dynamic, more relief, warmth and depth than the previous CD releases. I would be very curious to know what listeners may think about it…
