2001: A Spiritualized Odyssey - Free Kubrick SPZ Mashup Film

[thealmightysound]

Hey Folks-

I thought we might make an official post here to let you all know about a film we made called '2001: A Spiritualized Odyssey'. It takes the images and subtitles from Kubricks 1968 masterpiece '2001: A Space Odyssey', and syncs Spiritualized's beautiful catalog to it. We worked extraordinarily hard on it for a really long time and have gotten some excellent feedback from ladies and gentlemen the world over.

Anyhow, we want everyone to be able to see it, so we've released it in a few different formats. You can watch it on YouTube in HD (they've done a really great job with the HD thing, btw), or download a copy to watch on your home DVD player or a smaller file for your PC or iPod/iPhone (It was intended to be watched on a large TV with a big stereo if you have access to such luxuries).

To learn more, stream the film online or download a copy of your own for PC or home DVD player, see these links:

We even made a trailer for the film that you can watch here:

While we are not in the business of mailing copies of the film to all corners of the Earth, we would like to encourage a couple of actions. Spread the word any way you can; blog about it, embed some of the video on your MySpace page, start a Wikipedia article about the film, join the Facebook page, burn copies of the DVD and droplift them into the 'Spiritualized' bin at your local record shop or download the film and help us to seed it through BitTorrent so that more people can see it. Already 14,000+ people have seen or downloaded the film and our goal is 50,000.

On a side note, we did not do this for money. We cannot legally accept payment for this product, nor do we wish to. We only wanted to share this fun project with those that would care to see it, and to spread our love of Kubrick and Spiritualized to other fans (as well as to make new fans), and to encourage them to go out and buy the works of both Spiritualized and Mr. Kubrick.

Thank you for your interest and feel free to contact us anytime at the e-mail address listed below.

Peace, Love and Medication,

Would anyone who has downloaded this care to share it on a DVD? I've been trying to get it for months but I think my ISP throttles torrent traffic as it is taking ages and I'm still only about 25% complete.

I will gladly share it with someone else should I get a copy.

Me too - I'd love to see this but I'm having computer problems. My laptop is on its last legs.

If someone could do a DVD copy of this for me I will send them some goodies in return. If any kind soul fancies it they can PM me.

Thanks.

I've just started watching it. Not that my opinion should dissuade anyone, but it seems a little clumsy and inappropriate to score this classic film with Spz. I started missing the original score and dialogue (wooden as it may or may not be...)

According to their facebook page, they have completed "version 1.1 with corrected subtitles, normalized audio levels and 5.1 SURROUND SOUND!"

No word on if it's already available to download, but they had a screening of the new version a couple weeks ago.

The Almighty Sound is also celebrating 30,000 downloads. Congrats guys!

From their facebook page:

"Prepping the release of the 5.1 Surround Sound version of the film. We're adding menus, the trailer and Stereo and Surround options. Anything we are forgetting? Find out how to get a copy at the link below.

They also have Almighty Sound shirts with "2001: A Spiritualized Odyssey" on the back.

Nice cover it is too.

Apologies for the off topic nature of the request but it is kind of linked.

I'm desperate to get (or d'load) a copy of the 1976 Bruce Conner film 'Crossroads'

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossroads_%281976_film%29

It's playing at a local Cinema as part of a festival and the soundtrack is absolutely captivating, kind of Krautrocky.

Anyone help? ...please. Take pity on me, I missed LAGWAFIS at Gateshead Sage because of the snow and I still haven't got over it.

I was struggling to get hold of this so I contacted The Almighty Sound & they kindly sent me a copy on DVD, all they asked was a donation to the site & to cover postage so it's worth a shot guys, yet to watch it, just waiting for the perfect time!!!!!!!!!
