Various – Lost Highway (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

I have bought my fair share of duffers over the years but must have struck lucky with this one for once. Waxwork vinyl seems to have a bit of a reputation for being a bit noisy but there's hardly any clicks or pops on this one. Great pressing on my copy. The remastering is a noticeable improvement but not overcooked. As someone who owns both this and the 2016 MOV issue, I would take this any day of the week over MOV which sounds a bit flat in comparison. , Waxwork is just so much better sounding, in low level detail, bass and dynamics.

As usual with Waxwork this is a gorgeous release visually, rlly dig the new artwork and the colorway is stunning. Also as usual with waxwork they really ate up this remaster, sounds super crisp. The Badalamenti and Rammstein tracks specifically sounded fantastic. Unfourtunately also as usual with waxwork its a bit noisy, my copy has some hissing and popping throughout, mostly on side B. It isn’t unlistenable but if you’re easily bothered by surface noise I’d go for the MOV press, their pressings are usually very quiet. Not a dealbreaker for me, just a minor annoyance. otherwise this is a killer release, I hope they reissue Mulholland Drive for its 25th anniversary next year.

seeing this in the theaters the weekend it came out and is still one of my favorite movies David ever did and I'm pretty sure the soundtrack has a LOT to do with it for me personally. This sounds so so good! Destroys my original CD that I've played so many times that it's not even worth playing anymore! But great pressing all and all I am interesed in the difference from the MOV pressing but all seems like this sounds better in ways so think I'll just stick with this one even though a numbered pressing is always tempting...

Hi there guys!!! Have anyone compared this version to the MOV version? If so, I would like to know your opinion about it. I´m so tempted on getting the soundtrack, but don´t know which version to choose.

Thank you so much!!

To my ears, this sounds wider and fuller than the previous vinyl release and certainly the original CD, thus I do believe the entire album has been remastered. The standouts are the Badalamenti tracks which seem to benefit the most from this remaster. When Red Bats With Teeth really starts cooking, the expanded dynamic range becomes apparent. Mr. Eddy's Theme is also a revelation compared to prior releases. My pressing is nearly dead silent as well, which is always a welcome surprise with most new vinyl these days. I would have assumed that the source material was digitally recorded, but this remaster sounds so warm that I now suspect at least some track were recorded on tape. My guess is that the original digital master from the CD was used for the previous vinyl releases.

Zgadzam się z pozostałymi opiniami - bardzo dynamiczny i niesamowicie brzmiący winyl! Tłoczenie jest czyste, ma delikatny
i okazjonalny szum powierzchniowy (nic wielkiego i tylko w jednym miejscu), płyty są płaskie, bez wypaczeń. Okładka też jest świetna, gruba, matowa z doskonałą, ziarnistą grafiką. Wszystko w tym wydaniu jest doskonałe, perfekcyjnie opracowane i warte każdego grosza. Znam tą ścieżkę odkąd się ukazała ale po wysłuchaniu tego wydania miałem wrażenie jakbym słuchał jej po raz pierwszy. Niesamowite! Polecam!

This sounds incredible! The splatter on clear also looks great! What an album

Anybody do any kind of comparison to other presses? I already have it and I see reviews are great, but is it better?

Sounds like this is highly regarded sound-wise but a shame the cover is the much uglier version with the characters weirdly composited on there instead of the minimalistic one used by earlier releases. I'd be tempted to get an unofficial release just because of that...

Does anyone know what the remastering entails or how extensive it is compared to the other 180g vinyl version out there? Is it just the Badalamenti tracks, or were all songs on the album (Rammstein, Manson, Trent's, etc.) remastered?
