The only reason I feel comfortable downloading the few tracks that are available is that I know I'll buy it the first chance I'll get. -------------- Thank-you for helping us help you help us all.

You do very well to do that, my friend. I wish I would have! Quote Some of the comments re:downloaded tracks have very nearly got me to change my mind though.will it prove to be worth the wait? - hope so. NO NO! It's worth the wait! Just wait...less than a month now! You won't be disappointed and it will only be a better experience for you if you listen to it all for the first time! -------------- BrandonBlume.com "The beauty in life is in the embracing of the variety of things.

TOBY Group: Members Posts: 1562 Joined: May 2002 Posted: Sep. 11 2005, 13:49 With only just over two weeks until the album is realeased I'm suprised the whole album isn't out there on limewire etc yet. TresLunas after all was avaliable in its entirety a good month or so before its official release. Is this becuase Mike's popularity is now so low that nobody is even interested in sticking L+S online or because Mercury have been very, very clever and selective about who gets pre-release copies?

You'll be very pleased to learn,that I have'nt given in to temptation and may well be sighted camping outside my local HMV store in the very near future/night before release  .All donations of flasks of hot coffee will be most gratefully accepted for the duration. There could even be a Harry Potter type book launch party going on,instead of wizards ect,there will be hordes of people appearing dressed in Tubular wear,yeah bring it on! (sorry,just in very daft mood today) ... and moving swiftly back to reality, Best plan of action while waiting for L&S cd,is to continue to listen to my collection of M.O music,along with some Fan Tracks of course.That'll suit me just fine.

Today, I walked past the shop where I have preordered my copy and I thought in just two weeks time I'll be popping in there & collecting my preciousssnessss. What a drive home I'll have!! And it's my day off, yee hah!!! -------------- ....second to the right and straight on till morning.... You heard me before Yet you hear me again Then I die Till I call me again Back to top

olracUK Group: Members Posts: 1683 Joined: June 2003 Posted: Sep. 12 2005, 19:16 the general consensus seems to be that we will all buy it. Hardly surprising given that this is a forum for fans of Mike. The discussion on whether it is right and proper to share stuff before it is legally available to purchase has been discussed here, there and everywhere. My personal point of view is that, if the artist does not lose financially, or has not specifically stated that they don't want something spread for artistic purposes, then sharing for free is good. It increases awareness of the artistes work, and brings enjoyment to the fans. And, often, it actually helps sales by encouraging people to buy complete albums at better quality. My view may not be shared with everyone, and I appreciate their point of view, and I hope they appreciate mine. OMA withdrew tracks from his site, and i have noticed other posts that had links to the new songs have also disappeared, so I assume that Mike and/or the new label are being very protective this time around. So, I feel I am honest. I do not decieve. I do not steal. I do not deprive anyone of what is rightfully theirs. And now it is just 2 weeks to go until I can hear the new album. from listening to the tracks early, I am even more excited than a month ago. I've re-read some of my posts from then, and I was feeling pretty low about the prospects of the new album. And now I am telling everyone I know how good this will be. -------------- The answer is 42 - but what is the question? Back to top
