don’t understand anything here, today and tonight.

if this is a double picture post – sorry!!!

but the post that I made one hour ago is not here anymore.

ok. again.

that’s me, with COTF and tickets from the four gigs I’ll attend this autumn.

:oops:

(nice idea, un chien)

will be anyone so kind to post me personaly a digital version from COTF

[Anonymous]

My first thought as i heard that COTF will be a vinyl only release was: cool. It’s 2009 and these guys celebrate their 20th anniversary with a vinyl only release, that’s a statement. Lucky that i own a record player. But i would like to download a losless version with a code which i want to find in the record, because for me it’s a lot of work to digitalize it. Especially to cut the tracks is my problem. I use audacity at this moment, works great, side a will be finished in a few minutes. Any suggestions how to split the recording into tracks with audacity?

My second thought as i heard that it will be a vinyl only release was: what’s with all the fans who don’t have a record player? I love vinyl and i only buy vinyl if possible and rip it by myself into a-side and b-side. But if i weren’t in vinyl anymore what would i do now? Buy the LP? Hm, yes, if i could get a digital version of it, but this isn’t legally possible in this case.

Desperate fans like superstooka posting pictures from themselves with the LP to get a chance to listen to what they have paid for. On the one hand funny and on the other hand sad. I would like to know what MP thinks about that. Another wordfull statement from the guys after the wordless statement to release it on vinyl only (without a download code)would be very very appreciated.

Just my 5 cents.

Sorry for my english, in german i would have written more.

I would go for Steinberg Wavelab, for both ripping and cutting songs. Much more user friendly (if you are a PC user that is).

My 2 cents regarding your post: i think that the fact that they released COTF only on vinyl (for now – who knows what the future wil bring) is statement enough . Becides….if it’s a dream of Bent (or the band) to release a vinyl only album, then i think they deserve to do so, after 20 yars of hard work! What thought that lays behind it all, be it a statement against piracy, a plea to get vinyl back on the market, or simply just realizing a dream, shouldn’t matter. They’ve earned the right to do this! And if ppl really are that eager to listen to the record, i suggest that they stop bitching, and start being creative. Cus it’s not exactly science.

To me it’s not statement enough. By the way, how can i put a picture to my profile? Wavelab, hm, i will have a try if it’s for free but i guess not, or?. This will be a long night for me i guess if i want to listen to COTF on my bycicle tomorrow:o(

@gbd: I think the vinyl only thing is a ‘cool’ idea and one that could only come from mp, which is one of the reasons we all thing they are such a great group of artists. of course they deserve to do so, but it does not help fans like me, who are not vinyl freaks, do not own a record player and do not intend to buy for this recording only…does not mean I don’t want to listen to the album and should have the ability to do so.

So, again: if someone can please upload a digital version of COTF I will send a check to Rune Grammofon (can’t give it to the band personally as I don’t think they will be playing in Australia anytime soon…)

cheers

Hi,

I am able to digitalize vinyl into MP3. I did with ”Ohm´s Concerto for Auto+Soprano Saw” from Angels and Daemons at Play yesterday, because I like to hear it on the iPod! And it sounds great with a few small scratches from the needle!

It´s a song that is only on the vinyl version of Angels and Daemens at Play.

BUT….

There must be a reason that MP releases a Vinyl ONLY Album, so I am not sure if a digital version of COTF should enter the internet.

I don´t want to be the one to blame!!!

[wallace]

Totally agree with NoerglKong. But hey, we live in a digital world, and the most of MP fans probably don’t have vinyl players, so I feel that it’s a damn shame that they can’t get to listen to this fantastic album.

[Holle]

I’m sure that the reason is the reason that filmore has mentioned

[NoerglKong]

It´s a damn shame not to have a record player for Vinyls, I think!

MP always had fantastic Double Vinyls or Vinyl-Boxes like Timothy´s Monster with awesome Booklets and stuff.

This alone is a good reason to have a record player. And it sounds better in my opinion. Think about it.

So, how do we handle this analogue-katastrophe? I would spend the MP3 for a good purpose, but this should not be

some kind of a piracy-thing. As I said: Don´t blame me!!!!

just one thought:

other forums close topics or erase posts just because people talk about that stuff you are all suggesting here !

this is no “call to arms/moderator” – just take a minute to think about it…

whatever the reason was for releasing COTF only on vinyl – and even if a downloadcode would be cool/the way to go/whatnot – it didn’t happen.

so stick to what you got – a new record of your favourite band !

and if you don’t own a turntable or you can’t manage to digitize it – well guess who’s to blame ?

sorry if this sounds harsh – i don’t wanna be.

i just generally think that just because things are possible means that they should be done (goes for a lot of things in life).

so if this is vinyl only – then so shall be it.

amen

[GBD]

Amen Netsrak!

@ Superstooka: I think you’re both wrong, but that’s just me!

[marc]

it’s about being able to listen to the music whenever/wherever i want. i paid for the record. if it shows up, i won’t hesitate.
