Best of luck with any work/family drama, obviously. Hopefully whatever adjustments you have to make won't demand too much more from you.

The mix news is very exciting! The new issue of The Motion Picture made a revision to that Goldsmith mix obvious (presumably leaving the surely-forthcoming* definitive version of Insurrection as the last gap there, considering the high sound quality of the Nemesis bootleg), the Lord of the Rings mix has been greatly anticipated in these quarters, and the disc image on that copy of Flight is simply beautiful. The new mix is very good news as well, since I've generally enjoyed mixes you've made of music that otherwise leaves me cold.

*As this week's stupendous news proves, as well as various announcements in recent times, all one must do to get one's Grails is wait and have enough money ready when the time finally does come.

Family drama stuff will unfold as it will; those adjustments have more been matters of perspective than anything else. Work is work, and at this point both the company and the union are both in "damned if we do, damned if we don't" positions, so we've been at an impasse for a year. I can't concern myself with that too much because there isn't much for me to do there other than get my work done.

The new issue of Star Trek: The Motion Picture didn't really alter the structure of A Busy Man, but I went through it and replaced all of the tracks from the 20th Anniversary Edition and the bootleg other sources with the pristine versions from the La-La Land edition. I also replaced the First Contact tracks when that disc came out; not much difference for most of the cues (a bit intrinsically louder, which I would adjust to fit the rest of the album anyway), but "Flight of the Phoenix" was an essential upgrade.

Yeah, when you hear what I did with Lord of the Rings you'll understand why it took so long. There are literally thousands of edits ( ... )

I will mug every tourist on Fifth Avenue if I have to in order to get the Star Trek box set.

:D

This is hard without Photoshop. Windows 7 is too savvy for my old copy.
