I really dig the soundtracks to Alien Singular and Alien Cubed.

One soundtrack I don't really see people talking about that often, is the first Drakengard/Drag-On Dragoon OST.

99 percent of what I listen to are soundtracks. Even that wasn't enough so I just started listening to movies. I have 400 plus movies on mp3.

Interesting! I do that too, but I listen to the audio described versions, so like an audio drama with a narrator filling in the blanks. Ever tried those?

When I was a kid, before there was home video and when the sci-fi that was available in Blockbuster was limited, I had the habit taking a portable cassette recorder with me to the movie theatre and recording the film's soundtrack.

Later that night, while in bed in the dark, I'd play it back and try to relive the movie-going experience. Of course, the soundtracks were contaminated with rustling chippie bags and other crowd noises, but I could live with that.

Then I found out that most theatres equipped certain seats with special hard-wired audio output jacks so the hearing-impaired could plug in earphones. I realised i could do the same and get a completely clean recording.

I also knew this was a form of piracy. But if I concealed the equipment with a loose coat I always felt reasonably secure; and yet there was still the added thrill that the usher might possibly spotlight me in the dark with her hand torch like an escaping POW getting caught in a search-light.

My little cassette library contained soundtracks of the kinds of films you would expect: the Star Wars movies, Blade Runner, Star Trek, Raiders etc. Alien was special because I could lie in bed listening to the soundtrack while synchronously flipping through the Ballentyne Books photo-novel and scare myself to sleep.

Never even heard of those. Sounds cool though. One of the things I like about listening to movies is it doesn't burn you out... actually the opposite for me. So I can listen to a movie and it will put me in the mood to watch it when I get home..lol

Audio Description is an accessibility technology so that people who are blind and low-vision can watch films. A lot of films and TV programmes have it these days. Try looking on a streaming service for "AD", or look at some of your more recent physical media for the AD))) symbol. Then all you have to do is change to that soundtrack.

The best ones use a human narrator; the cheap-skates use text-to-speech which sounds awful.

Here's an example of a scene from an audio described version of ALIENS.


I'm also coming to the end of a project to add audio description to Alien 3.

Hmmm the only problem I see is this reminds me of going to see a movie with that one guy who won't stop talking over the movie.
