Spiked Soul soon to be available at special minion pricing ☺
Heh. When I said that the clip was finally done, of course, in my joy, and probably oversight, I forgot to mention that we would have to slave over encoding the clip for view as well as fussing over the menu.
I’ve been starting at this page of my mac for sometime now. (2 weeks to be exact)
Lossless encoding is what we’ve been aiming for. We finally come rather close after countless duds. Now it’s ready. DVDs packed to be sent away for you minions, and online version to be released this Fri.
Meanwhile, See this?
It’s finally here. The album. In its boxed up glory
See this?
This is what the first 500 people will get it in. (I could only afford to get 500 lovingly handmade. By the royal artist herself + help from overseas ☺
See these?
This is what’s in it. + DVD of Lenore+ Bonus Video clip (not shown here)
First things first, I’ve decided that since there are EP tracks on this album, I’ve decided that, to make things fair…
———THIS ALBUM IS THE COST OF AN AVERAGE EP for the firsts 2 weeks of it’s online release.——————-
Note that I currently have 2 online distributors.
1) CDBABY (US based)
2) Earshot music (online retail based in Australia so that us down under don’t have to pay too much for postage)
I’ve posted the goods out to both. Given that I live down under, Earshot music will get my albums first. To be absolutely fair to the minions, there will be 2 rounds of special EP prices both on CDBABY and Earshot music.
It’s likely that earshot will get the goods before CDBABY. As soon as earshot’s account is up I will be letting the minions know. Price of the CD in the first 2 weeks will be a special minion price of A$15 as opposed to A$25 after the 2 weeks.
For those intending to buy from CDBABY, same rule applies, as soon as the CDs are available from CDBABY, I’ll sound the alarm for the special minion price time window. Then it’s back to full album price.
This way, hopefully no one has to pay too much for postage. Best an indie muso can do for now…
The rationale is simply this, most minions reading this would have likely purchased the EP or got some tunes online. Not fair paying for the full album price when some of the tunes are already on the EP. So without bursting my cranium capacity over logistics, this is the best I can do. ☺
Hope that’s cool with all of you.
Why tracks from EP in Album?
Well here’s the thing, Spiked Soul could never decide whether to be a second EP or a full album. Then of course, the deciding factor was an introspective question of why I wrote Spiked Soul in the first place.
Spiked Soul was a complete introspective journey from betrayal to love to finally making peace and journeying on. Have a listen and see if you hear it. I will be putting up special liner notes re:lyrics in the next couple of days so you know what the muses were thinking when they were dancing.
Over and out for now. Exactly 12 working days left to being free of drone work. I am apprehensive and excited. I will be writing heaps more then, till then please bear with the limited appearance, gig wise and blog wise.
Oh, and of course, I will have started working on the next album ☺. Happy times.
