To start, I apologize as most likely the info I'm looking for is somewhere on the site in the Y! archives. Indeed, it was trying to make sense of this through the Y! archives that prompted me to just post as my head is spinning...
So I know about the four (if there's more, then I don't know them!) 90s soundtracks, namely La Carrera Panamericana credited to PF, and the three credited to Dave, Ruby Takes a Trip, The Art of Tripping, and Colours of Infinity. I know that it's speculated (proven?) that all or some of the Dave stuff is actually PF, possibly recorded circa Carrera, and that there is overlap on these projects (namely that Ruby and Infinity contain a lot of overlap).
Which is all great, but what I am left with a few questions that aren't easily being answered. For one, how much of the above is known for sure? Particularly when it comes to PF vs Dave solo recordings.
Then there's the matter of what material is on which release and which are duplicated. How much overlap is there between Ruby and Infinity? Is Art of Tripping more unique without overlap? I only saw people talking about overlap with Ruby and Infinity.
Perhaps most importantly, do we have high quality versions of this stuff? I have the Tree versions, but I'm wondering if there's something better. I know there's a 16 min version of Colours of Infinity that's higher quality (I have it as well), but the Tree's Infinity is just shy of 33 min. Is the difference the talking bits? I could understand if the removal of talking made it a few min shorter, but that's about half the length. And as far as I know, there's never been another attempt at Art of Tripping or Ruby (though Ruby may be because it's duplicated by Colours).
If there isn't better versions available, I'm prepared to try my hand at making them, though I admit I currently don't know how. But I have a good amount of computer skills, a fair bit of audio editing knowledge, and the stupid determination to spend hours learning and working on a project only for the complete nuts (but then, I assume that's most folks here!). I have found and downloaded the Ruby and Art of Tripping DVDs (or well, am downloading Art currently, low speed and big files). I assume these would be a good place to start, and then I'll have to look into how to use something like Demix Pro to isolate the talking from the music.
But before going down that road, I figured I'd ask in here if this has already been done and I'm missing it, or if it hasn't been done because it's pointless as the music is all overlap with stuff we have anyway. Thanks a ton for any help on this!
(Also as a side note, I'm asking here since I'm hoping to be pointed to torrents, which I don't think is allowed in the general discussion. Apologies if I'm in the wrong place!)
