That's cool, I have to get this. I remember giving up and just torrenting the Soundtrack and Score of The Movie a few years ago.

Hey, wasn't this story posted 3 News Stories ago?

I hope there's going to be a release which includes the full score as well. I'd like to have one more official than my splice job from the internet.

I'll probably be skipping this, since I have the old soundtrack (on CD no less) and the Botcon Album with the score.

Goodo.
I love listening to the few Kick Axe songs that I've gleaned off of the web. Their albums are a bugger to find in stores.

I think I have to the two movie tracks they did, and two from their first album- Vices.

So it's now THE story about it.

Will it be remastered, or is it just sort of reactivated?

Crap, I already own the soundtrack. This always happens to me with music. Fuck it, Im not re-buying it, no matter what extras come with it. :sad:

FYI has had it in constant stock near me for like 10 years. I didn't know it was ever discontinued seeing it also in department stores as well.

Cool! But I already got mine back in 1999 at the peak of my nostalgia trip when I pleasently and suprisingly stumbled upon it at Record Town.

A definate must have for ANY Transformers fan or even just an '80s fan.

If it's got the Unicron theme, I'll get it. That music is one of the best bits of the movie! (The other being the Prime vs Megatron battle!!!)

No it wasn't. In fact, it was one of the few soundtracks Vulcano Records re-released a few years ago, after they bought Scotti Bros. Records, who had produced the original soundtrack release.
