Perfect In-Car Listening
Ξ March 18th, 2006 | → 0 Comments | ∇ |
I bought some Bare Knuckle soundtracks from the States off Ebay, and whilst they weren’t cheap and disappointingly, not original disks, I don’t really care because you can’t buy them anymore since the record label died and they’re worth it just to hear them old skool tunes from when I was a kid. Turn them up and they make great in car tunes. I think it’s the fact that because I’m in the act of controlling something, with the music in the background makes me feel like I’m sitting in my mates’ front room aged 12, hammering his mega drive controller for hours on end.
The problem is the tracks are 2-3 minutes long and fade out at the very end, not “finish”. Now electro-dance isn’t typically my main “listen to” genre, but I’m pretty damn sure these aren’t the full-full tracks. Maybe I should try and track down Yuzo Kashiro (through some feat of divine intervention) and beg him for the full raws. Even so, they aren’t game rips, because I have those and they are twice the length of them AND the disks contain extra 4 bonus tracks.
I also bought the Wolf’s Rain uber limited edition box set from the States and it arrived having suffered a 300 story fall. Either that or some postie decided to brush up on his football skills with it. I’ll admit it’s a good hand/foot size to throw or kick, but why my special edition? To add insult to injury, Royal Mail charged me £11 for import tax.
The box is partially crushed and ripped and one of the disks came out of it’s holder and is scratched beyond readability. Hopefully I can get some sort of replacement, but, you never know if the people on the other end are going to be some tree hugging, church going, friendly and kind family business: the ones that make you feel bad for worrying them so much after mentioning something is wrong. Either this or a bunch of chavs that will *delightfully* inform me where I can forcibly insert said disks and attempt to procreate with myself whilst colourfully using swear words as verbs, adjectives AND nouns.
