Nathan Furst, the genius behind the soundtracks of the first three BIONICLE movies, has posted this today on his Facebook page. It seems we’ll be getting a remastered anniversary release of the Mask of Light score!
Furst mentioned in the photo’s comments that this will be a digital, fully remastered release of the full score (approx. 16 tracks) and will be available on iTunes, Amazon, and other major sites, with a pre-order date coming soon.
And here’s an extra tidbit: Furst also stated in the comments that, “If all goes well, there is a plan to release the others [soundtracks]. While LOMN was lost, it’s been recently, at least partially, recovered.”
I for one adore the BIONICLE movies’ soundtracks, as they consist of some of the most nostalgic and memorable tunes from my childhood. I’m unbelievably excited for this - can’t wait!
UPDATE 2/17/17
Nathan Furst has revealed the pre-order for the soundtrack to be March 4th (not far off!). He has also stated that the release will consist of approx. one hour and seven minutes of music (again, the complete score).
I actually thought the same thing when I first saw the image. It does seem like a weird anniversary date to choose, but at least it means we’ll be getting it sooner.
There’s the BioMedia Project Movie Soundtrack download, but some of it isn’t the original. Like one of my favorite pieces Time, from Legends of Metru Nui isn’t the same as the movie.
