Evangelion 2.0: You Can (Not) Advance

[trmanning]

After a year wait, part 2 of the 4 part Shinseiki Evangelion remake hit theatres this week and has kind of been all the rage around the city. Evangelion 1.0 was sort of a remake of the first 6 episodes or so of the original series, but I guess this movie just completely mashes everything up, including adding a new 4th main pilot character and

The companion Extended OST for the new Japan-only DVD reissue of the TV series has a remix/mashup of the incidental musics by fucking Rob Swift.
Its almost $60 though, so I haven't heard it yet.

Is is Rebuild of Evangelion 1.0 - You Are (Not) Alone?

No the Extended OST is for the original TV series. When Eva 1.0 dropped in theatres last year, Gainax released a new, remastered DVD set of the TV Series to coincide with it, and also a couple of collector OST joints. The shit is all very expensive though. The Rob Swift joint is either a cut up of the incidental music or possibly a remix of the TV series theme song (which is completely absent from the new films).

On second look at your message there, I'm not too sure what you're asking me.
"Rebuild of Evangelion" is the english translation of the name of the whole film series "Evangelion Shingekijoukai". In the Japanese title, instead of a chronologial number, each filmed is assigned a Kanji with an abstract meaning. In the case of 1.0 , its called "Evangelion Shingekioukai: JOU", but at the same time its also known as Evangelion 1.0: You Are (Not) Alone (When the film starts, a title card shows the Japanese title, but about an hour into it, in the same way that the TV series did, a different title card suddenly flashes on the screen with the english name of the "episode")
