Breaking & Entering OST avaible for pre-order - Page 7

the moment it's leaked IS the actual release date

Why hold yourself to some record company's schedule if you can get the music right now? (as long as you buy an actual copy when it does come out of course).
Waiting for the "actual release date" doesn't make hearing the music more exciting for me really. Even buying the actual cd doesn't hold the same value as it used to. First thing I'll do is rip it to mp3 and then put the cd on the shelf. Convenience over quality, I know but in this case convenience wins out.

i was pretty surprised finding, downloading, and especially, of course, in giving it that first listen. waiting for scheduled release is so passe.

No worries! i appreciate your comments and i'm glad that everyone's anticipation is satisfied by the music, not a sense of "having it first".

i've thought about this a lot, actually, because in the past, i have done my share of "previewing" music that i didn't intend to replace with an actual purchased item, and i started feeling very guilty. Not just from the standpoint of effectively stealing music, but also that i'd robbed myself of a lot of the tangible qualities t hat i enjoy about music: the search for the actual record, the artwork, the building of a collection. Sometimes this leads to great discoveries and the decision to purchase much more than just the leaked album. And surely folks around here are UW fanatics that'll buy the OST anyway, and this is definitely not a mass-marketable record, so it's less of an issue to obtain a preview before the CD is released. But it pisses me off, the people who lead and share and feel entitled to freebies, no support for the artists whatsoever.

It was said that Cds killed the era of album art innovation that you got with the larger-format vinyl records. Now, downloading is ending the age of tangible sound recordings. Problem is, the electronic media is just as fragile as a record, tape or CD is, and it's becoming a problem as to how these tremendous collections of mp3s will be readable or even preserved in the future. Yes, it's convenience over quality in many cases. i just respectfully prefer quality.

Additionally, a discussion thread could be started up that is for those who have listened to it and those who choose not to until they've seen the film or purchased a tangible copy of the soundtrack (or an intangible copy via I-tunes or another source.)

(It took 2 minutes to download the soundtrack.)

Oh I remember how to make spoiler tags, I was just mentioning it as a reference point that has come up in the Treatment forum where the thread is now sticky.

Brief article in Billboard today. Nothing new but still worth mention, and it answered my question about a US release.... Dec. 5.

the score is lovely, the two tracks on the Underworld myspace page say it all.

I'm holding the soundtrack in my hand right now! I guess they ship the international orders before the domestic ones (I ordered from amazon.co.uk to send to the states).

I haven't listened to it yet, I have to wait for the right time...

Yeah, the right moment matters.

First time I heard it, i did not really find it that special. I loved it ever since the second time though.
