#OBSCURE 2 MEGA MOVIE#
That seems to be the case, as in addition to a third Sonic movie, two more classic SEGA games will receive movie adaptations. Some have wondered if another SEGA franchise will get the movie treatment as the Blue Blur has.
#OBSCURE 2 MEGA SERIES#
The complete Ambient series is still in print, now on the Virgin label.The unexpected success of the Sonic films has clearly caught SEGA’s eyes. These two albums, along with all four volumes of the Ambient series, were first issued on CD in the 1980s on the Caroline Records label, which was the USA imprint of Virgin Records. Albums 3 and 7 have been in print continuously, but are now regarded as parts of the regular catalogues of Brian Eno and the Penguin Café Orchestra, respectively. However, selected volumes have appeared individually from time to time. No complete re-issue of the entire Obscure series has appeared since 1982, and given that Gavin Bryars has re-recorded his two pieces on Obscure 1 as two separate albums, it is likely that he and other composers are unwilling to consent to future re-issues of the Obscure editions in their original form. The new volume was also issued in the USA with the same catalogue number, EGED-20. At the same time, the Ambient series was re-issued in the UK with a fourth and final volume added, as EGED-17 to 20. Albums 3 and 10 use the alternate American cover art in these editions, and album 7 uses new cover art as well. In 1982, EG Records re-issued all ten Obscure albums on their Editions EG label in the UK as EGED-21 through 30. Editions EG was distributed by Polydor in the UK, and by Jem in the USA. Both USA re-issues of Obscure albums use alternate cover art, Obscure 3 being the same as the earlier USA edition, and Obscure 10 using a similar, matching layout. All of these editions in both countries have white, non-picture "Editions EG" labels. At the same time, Obscure 10 was issued in the USA as EGS-301, and Obscure 3 as EGS-303. They were also issued in the USA (together with a re-issue of Ambient 1) as EGS-201 to 203. The next two Ambient releases were issued by EG Records in 1980 in the UK as EGAMB-002 and 003. Passport Records in Canada copied the US design, rather than using the UK one. This edition has a picture label that is taken from the cover art (a different label from the UK edition, although both are similar in appearance), and is therefore a custom label design. An American edition was issued on PVC Records (distributed by Jem Records) as PVC-7908. This record has a new label design for the Ambient series, but it was not used on subsequent volumes. Originally intended as Obscure OBS-11, it came out instead as Ambient / Polydor / EG AMB-001. Instead they feature a "℗ Obscure Records Ltd" copyright symbol.Īlso in 1978, Ambient 1 was issued. Vinyl labels for the Polydor manufactured editions are similar to Island's, but do not mention Island or Polydor. Later copies of albums 3, 4 and 7 with covers printed with Polydor markings and catalogue numbers have been confirmed. Collectors seeking original editions are therefore advised that Island covers may contain Polydor manufactured records within. Polydor were able to obtain left-over covers made for Island Records, and issued their new editions of albums 1 through 7 with these covers marked as Island Records editions. These continued to use the original cover art. In 1978, manufacture and distribution in the UK was resumed by Polydor who re-issued the first seven albums and three further volumes as OBS-1 through 10. This edition of Obscure 3 uses new cover art. Only two of these albums were issued in the USA in the 1970s, on the Antilles label, a division of Island: album 3 as AN-7030, and album 5 as AN-7031.
All albums use the original, mostly black, cover art, designed by John Bonis of CCS. 1" through 7 on the covers, and "OBSCURE 1" etc. These have a catalogue number expressed as "obscure no. The first seven albums were issued on the Obscure label in 19, manufactured and distributed in the UK by Island Records whose name appeared at the bottom of the label. UK label imprint focusing on "obscure" experimental music, established by Brian Eno in 1975 and run until 1978, with Obscure Records Ltd.
