Orchestral Favorites 40th Anniversary Edition
I'm streaming it (because I'm broke, as per usual) but I'm having a hard time noticing any huge improvements over the 2012 disc. The
bonus material is of questionable quality as well. It's one of my favorite orchestral albums of FZ's (no pun intended), but I'm not
sure I'd shell out 30 euros or so for this one. Nice to hear these gems again, though. But I can't help but wonder if the whole "dolby
line-up tone" thing was just something FZ made up to discredit Warner Brothers. It sounds good, but hardly that much better than previous
releases of this material.
(I'm pretty unhappy in general with the recent ZFT trend of releasing deluxe packages that cost an arm and a leg for little to no interesting new
material. ZINY being the exception, maybe.)
Anybody here taken a listen yet? Thoughts?
