Dhsu Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 http://www.ocremix.org/remixer/destiny/ for those who don't know who she is. Helen hasn't been around this community for a while (supposedly she considered it a stepping stone), but was very highly regarded while she was here for the quality of her Enya-like vocal and instrumental work. Her first album is a 2-CD endeavor, with a total of 22 tracks. The first disc is called Inside Myself and contains the bulk of the songs on the album, while the second disc is entitled Once Upon a Time, having a fairy tale theme. You can buy it at her CD shop here: http://www.faefly-records.co.uk/shop.htm (crossfade demos here) Google Checkout only works for orders within the UK at the moment, unfortunately. The price is a bit hefty at 8.49 GBP (~$17 USD), especially with international shipping if you're in the US, but most people who have heard her work will agree that it's worth it for 2 CDs of Destiny goodness. In addition, each copy will be personally signed by Helen, with an optional message of your choice. Better hurry if you want a copy though: there are only 100 in print.

The wingless Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Why didn't Destiny announce this herself? Not that we don't adore our little DSHU, but I'm just curious. ...Also, I'll buy it when I get home. Her voice r good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhsu Posted August 7, 2007 Author Share Posted August 7, 2007 Helen hasn't been around this community for a while (supposedly she considered it a stepping stone) That's my theory. I found out about this album through another person's post on VGMix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the same reason why Shael doesn't post info about Captain S, cause she is lazy. Haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The wingless Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 That's my theory. I found out about this album through another person's post on VGMix. I find that theory pretty hard to believe. I think it's more likely she's just a very, very busy little European. edit: listened to the samples. She sounds FUCKING sublime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arek the Absolute Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 The cd itself is about $17...but I bet shipping is going to be a pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhsu Posted August 7, 2007 Author Share Posted August 7, 2007 I find that theory pretty hard to believe. I think it's more likely she's just a very, very busy little European. Or perhaps because certain *COUGH* members the community would immediately make another attempt to get into her pantalonés, now that Jill is taken. Which reminds me how saddened I am that a pixie/Destiny collaboration never transpired... Edit: Shipping is 2.00 GBP outside Europe, so the total will be about $21.

Jillian Aversa Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 I've been following the progress of this album and a half for a while. I'd say I have over half the songs already downloaded, but not all remastered and stuff - SO excited! "Dream of the Innocent" is the most beautiful song you'll ever hear. I ordered my physical copy, despite the $21 price tag. ^o^ Which reminds me how saddened I am that a pixie/Destiny collaboration never transpired... Yet! Helen had said on her MySpace that she's looking to collaborate with a female vocalist in a classical crossover style, so I immediately jumped on that. She was all for it, but we'll have to wait a while since we're each a little preoccupied with our albums at the moment. Though what would be REALLY cool is if we could feature it as a special guest track on my release this spring. Good way to keep promoting "Inside Myself" as well... You guys should definitely check out the Zine she's starting up through the FaeFly Records page. I think it's gonna be a great resource.

Bahamut Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 I ordered me one copy too...and I'm surprised of all places, VGMix is the one with the drama thread on this, not OCR . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liontamer Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 I threatened to revoke Dhsu's journalistic license if he didn't blog'er up. Enjoyz. Again, best of luck regarding sales. 100 sounds like a very reasonable goal. I hope you made extras to give away as demos! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jillian Aversa Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 I think the 100 copies will disappear within a matter of weeks! ^-^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverCoat Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 I bought one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WesPip Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Heh, the only thing I remember her from was that Overcoat/Destiny track Angel's Dear. That was a pretty nice track though, so I'm gonna order me one up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The wingless Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 I bought one from my favorite heterochroma artist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destiny Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Hello! *blink* I haven't been here for years. I was (pleasantly) surprised to discover that my login still works. Anyway, a couple of little birdies told me about this thread so I sneaked in out of curiosity... Thanks Dhsu for posting about it in the first place! And thanks to anyone who has ordered - your CDs are on their way right now. Just wanted to clarify a couple of things. supposedly she considered it a stepping stone Eh? Whose supposition was that? xD It's not even close but OH WELL ^.^ The main reason why I haven't been around OCR (and VGmix) is that I've been more into songwriting the past few years, I just felt like working on originals more than remixes, and my degree has been keeping me really really busy too of course! And I didn't post about it here because honestly I didn't even think of that That said, I AM working on a remix... :P ('Evening Star' from SD3, I think) but if it turns out rubbish you will never know about it MARK MY WORDS. hee hee. Anyway clearly I've run out of stuff to say, so I'll be quiet now! Byebye~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arek the Absolute Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Great to hear from you Helen. Happy to hear that your originals are coming along nicely. Hopefully we do get to hear that SD3 song, cause that surely would be a treat. Don't forget that you have friends and fans here. Don't be a stranger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jillian Aversa Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Who got theirs so far? I just listened straight through, and then went back and put a lot of the songs on repeat. So amazing, it nearly brought me to tears! I probably would have cried if I didn't try to hold it back, but my throat was burning. *blush* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverCoat Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 I don't even know if mine's been mailed yet, though it's been charged to my bank account so it must be on its way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Joker Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 If CD baby is a bit cheaper... I'll totally get one. I just can't get myself to pay $21 for a CD when so many good games are coming out. But, I totally want this album, regardless... my poor wallet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jillian Aversa Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Well, it is the equivalent of two CD's. The first one has 17 full tracks, and the second another 4. I think $21 is an appropriate price, especially considering that includes shipping all the way from England. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverCoat Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 I just got it. Got your CD today. Royal Mail FTW.You really outdid yourself with this. I hadn't even listened to a single song and I was already impressed with just the packaging! the butterfly sticker was a nice touch... then I got to track 18... Also' date=' I'm ripping this to mp3 because the CD is too nice and I don't want to ruin it X_X. Thanks for the letter Helen [/quote'] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sephfire Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 I was worried we'd never see Destiny around here again. Not only does she pop in, but I've got a whole album of Helen-y goodness coming in the mail. This is a fine day indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
