al3xand3r Posted February 9, 2008 Posted February 9, 2008 Got this e-mail from CDbaby letting me know of this: http://cdbaby.com/cd/esposthumus3 Needless to say, I already placed my order! Just a heads-up for E.S. Posthumus fans out there! Quote
Dhsu Posted February 9, 2008 Posted February 9, 2008 I have to say...$20 is pretty exhorbitant for just the MP3s. Which sucks since I like these guys... Quote
al3xand3r Posted February 9, 2008 Author Posted February 9, 2008 Comes out to about $0.72 per track (there's 28 tracks). That seems more than fair to me, especially given the quality of the music. However, I prefer the physical CD, since I have no idea what bitrate CDbaby distributes at, and I can encode to whatever lossy format I please. Quote
The Unsung Plumber Posted February 9, 2008 Posted February 9, 2008 since I have no idea what bitrate CDbaby distributes at, and I can encode to whatever lossy format I please. uhh... An MP3 album is a zip file with a folder containing... * MP3 files, one per-song, for easy use in any computer, iPod, or MP3 player. * JPG of the album cover. * Text file full of info from that album's page: song titles, notes, and links. The MP3 audio files are very high quality, about 200kbps VBR, encoded using the “LAME” MP3 encoder on its audiophile settings. Your MP3s will play on any hardware. All your MP3 albums are available for download in your CD Baby account, forever. 10char Quote
al3xand3r Posted February 9, 2008 Author Posted February 9, 2008 I never saw that... oh well, regardless, I prefer the original CD's. =) Quote
Xenon Odyssey Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 I found out about this last week or so, and purchased through iTunes. Absolutely fantastic. I highly recommend for anyone who loved the first album and/or love cinematic music. Quote
Kirie Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 I bought this CD a little while ago, and I must say it is simply amazing! Worth every penny. Quote
Alexis Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 So does anyone know if it's worth buying both of the ones that are up on iTunes? There's the regular one, and then there's one that's called the Piris Reis remixes. Quote

The original album has Luna Sans singing in Latin in all of the tracks, while the Piri Reis remixes album has all of those songs without the singing, plus two bonus tracks not on the other album.

zircon Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 Pretty cool stuff. I like "Mosane" a LOT, but many of the tracks are a little too happy and upbeat for my tastes. Was hoping for more dramatic and minor material.. though I have to say, Luna Sans is a good addition. Don't think I'll be buying this though; $27 (after ship) is way too high for a CD. Quote
