Fantastic Voyage, 20th Century Fox's 1966 sci-fi thriller, is best known for its pioneering psychedelic visual effects and set design, which earned it two Academy Awards. But the film's soundtrack—which includes eery sound effects that imagine the echoes of supersized and amplified internal organs inside the body's various passageways and an atonal score that only begins some 50 minutes into the film—is equally groundbreaking. Before all of it was swallowed whole by the hiss of encroaching deterioration, L.A.'s Mi Casa Multimedia stepped in to remix the mono track. Says Brant Biles, Mi Casa's president and chief engineer, he and his team relied on several audio restoration plug-ins to help them "fix things that previously couldn't be fixed" and return the soundtrack and sound editing—nominated for yet another Oscar—to its original state.
