I just wish it had an actual orchestra to play it, as the synths make it sound low-rent and cheesy.

I can understand that, but Sakamoto is a virtuoso synth composer and programmer. I love music like his group Yellow Magic Orchestra and Tangerine Dream

On and off I've been considering getting KL's Blu-ray release of Wild Palms (along with the first season of Night Gallery).

It's going out of print once they sell through their current stock, so if you're interested, I wouldn't wait too long.

Many thanks for the helpful advice.

Why do I always find this stuff out years too late!

Yeah I looked about 3 or 4 months ago, and you could still nab new copies for around $30-40. Now it's insane again.

Wow, insane price now.

And to think I picked this up for like ten bucks in a Kino sale barely two years ago. Shame it'll never be repressed for anyone who missed out, though.

Is this ever likely to be reissued?

Not unless someone else picks it up. Kino no longer has the rights and Insider said they weren't interested in reissuing.

Honestly it hasn't been that pricey lately. The last eBay auction sold for $29 and prior to that a $15 buy it now went. They're still being listed at high prices but aren't selling for that much at all.
