How could you tell th difference between a remastered soundtrack and a new recording, anyway? It did indeed sound pretty crisp, but when something has undergone as elabroate an overhaul as these movies, it's hard to decipher.
No they didnt add vaders bloody theme on the blockade runner FFS!
Nor is Leia's lines on Endor altered or omitted!
The only changes to ANH are new CGI jabba, Han shoots slightly faster, dianoga eye, auberish (sp), touch ups to some effects such as lightsabers and lasers.....
the only issue that SHITS me is that Luke's lightsaber on the falcon is GREEN in some shots, that they STILL havent bloody bothered to clean the optical matt boxes from the Tie Fighters in the Death Star escape sequence, and that the music seems to have been DULLED down significantly when they begin the trench runs
yeah, apparently all those reviews on line didn't actually HAVE the dvd's to review. All those reviews, all that bad info... oh well, no one seemed to like the idea of messing with music anyway.
well apparently the new cues weren't used for the DVDs. Williams said he was recording them in an interview. I guess they must be lying around on some reel at Abby Road Studios

what pisses me off most is that they did nothing to fix the horrible noise cancellation on the ROTJ percussion. course, I don't know how they'd do that without rerecording them completely....
it sounds like the whole frickin' section was recorded in a giant egg carton.

I TOTALLY AGREE!!! That's always bothered me. they really should re-record them all so they're crisper. But that one in particular is really weak in the base.
i think they should keep them analog cause you lose a lot when you record everything straight to digital. Hell, i'd rerecord the prequal soundtracks in analog to make them better. the only huge problem is that the bass and percussion were probably recorded in a small room without much natural reverb and a lot of wooden panelling and possibly even carpet on the floor. this makes them sound just horrible and muffled.
