Jim Alfredson Posted November 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 Jim Colando dropped off high-res scans of his images this morning. I'm really excited to see these printed. They are going to look great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Johnson Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Just ordered my copy--plus an extra groovadelphia. I'm excited to hear this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Alfredson Posted November 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 Interesting comments from another forum: Track one and two come from a pedigree I associate with Ian Carr's Nucleus. A pedigree of quality as well as of musical thought. Track three is deep and inspiring. That high drone and the choir put me in mind of John Tavener's approach to the expression of spirituality, as demonstrated in his Lifting The Protecting Veil. Never heard of either artist he's referencing, but a quick listen and I can see where he's coming from. The Tavener piece is gorgeous.

mikeweil Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Those samples sound nice - this will be a nice disc for dark winter evenings. Can't wait to hear the whole disc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Alfredson Posted November 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 Sent the disc off to the duplicators today. Pre-sales are going good; only 50 copies left. This has been a fun project and I'm looking forward to reading folks' reactions when copies are in hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Alfredson Posted November 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Added another tune to the player on the Big O Store page. Its a tune inspired by Tangerine Dream's seminal album Rubycon (which I listened to many many times under headphones as a kid), called 'Psyche'. http://www.big-o-records.com/zen-cart/inde...;products_id=20 49 copies left.

Sounds good. Hey, wouldn't surprise me if you also listened to Oxygene 5 as a kid: check out the ostinato that fades in at about 5:05 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Alfredson Posted November 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 Believe it or not, but I only recently heard Oxygene for the first time; within the last year. My dad didn't have any Jarre in his collection, though I certainly knew who he was as teenager. Hearing his classic recordings made me realize how influential he was, especially on video game music in the 80s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave James Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 I'm in. Pysche convinced me. Besides, where else are you going to get a signed, limited edition CD for this kind of money? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Alfredson Posted December 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Thank you, Dave! I hope you enjoy it. It looks like it's going to be here on Monday and I'll start shipping them that day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Garrett Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 I've been meaning to order this, but I've been getting a hostname lookup failure for www.big-o-records.com since the server move. Are there still some lingering DNS propagation issues, or is something else going on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Alfredson Posted December 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 No, its probably still DNS issues. Keep trying. Or just paypal me $25. I just tried the site and at first I couldn't get anything, then I got to homepage and couldn't get to the store, then I couldn't get to the product. I just kept hitting refresh and it eventually got there. Hopefully it will be resolved soon. For some reason, that site has taken longer than any of the others for the DNS to propagate.
