I've been keeping an eye on the talk of the reissue of the DTS version of Jurassic Park.
As most of you probably know, the original release left many people wondering what happened to the bottom end of the soundtrack.
I too was alittle disappointed with the lack of low bass in the scene where the T-Rex is chasing the jeep.
Today I came across one of the supposed reissues of this disc...Universal's stand is: there was nothing wrong with the first pressing...don't believe it!
If in fact the one I just bought today is the correct mix of this ST, then the first issue was a screw-up, because they are very different in the low bass region.
Tonight I watched the whole thing through, then went back and forth on the T-Rex scenes to check the differences.
As I said before, they are different, the old ST is the more realistic of the two, as we're all aware, nothing in nature is going to create a 20 or 25hz frequency, and the old soundtrack rolls off in a much more realistic way. HOWEVER, the new ST is definitely more involving, when the T-Rex is stomping around you definitely know this is one bad-ass beast!!!
So, the old one is more realistic, the new one has that WOW factor...which is the better ST???
By the way, if you want the new reissue here's how you tell them apart: The new issue will have "Jurassic Park (WS)(DTS)" printed on the top security tape...the () are around both WS & DTS, and the "Sony Playstation" compatiblity sticker is not on the front of this one.
The old one does not have the ()'s.
