We're nearly there

Downloaded the lossless version of EMS2011 today and gave final approval for the artwork for both the mp3 and lossless versions. We decided to do different artwork for the different releases. Some of you will be wondering why we are doing both so here's DC to explain it

"Regarding the mp3 release before the lossless is something tied to my young age. :)

If you release a lossless after less of 365 days you will get the release in question deleted from any computer and burned safely onto cd'r without even a cover. More likely those people will burn the cd at 16X (most likely 24X) which means errors in the process and no way to check that since audio data are sort of closed entried. Since most will burn that at speeds more than 4X the burned dye will last no more than four or five years depending on the quality of the media... then we get someone ripping the faulty cd and posting that version around as it did happen with the Esper MR3 or Asian Worlds releases. The mp3 release will go to any ipod and mp3 cdbackups and will stay like that in the years to come... and since it will be us encoding the hell out of it we can control the quality and all the infos to the tag to preserve in time what we have done"
 
So there you have it.
