Is this an official release? -------------- “A dog is not intelligent. Never trust an animal that's surprised by its own farts.” - Frank Skinner Back to top

If I were you I'd buy a copy or try to listen to it somehow. -------------- Thank-you for helping us help you help us all. Back to top

Land   4:30 QE2       17:00 Conflict    4:16 Molly       2:00 the "artwork" was created using Google's "picture search" and WinOnCD (a burning-proggie). front cover and back-cover (resized for traffic-reasons) it was and still is distributed in mp3-form only (except for the "master" and a few copies that were sent to people who wanted to "host" it on servers) so I wonder which a**hole is trying to make money of a fan-project again (some attempts to sell this one and others which were created that way as "rare studio versions" @ ebay were already stopped). If I were you I would  not buy a copy, 'cause - it was not the intention of the guy who created it to see copies of it sold anywhere - it was not the intention of the guy who created the artwork(s), additionaly the girl who painted the artwork for others of these series was not asked if it's okay to sell her works and she definately didn't want it to be sold (that way) - noone should pay anything (except for blanks & postage, if he cannot arrange a download, maybe) for something that's mp3-sourced (as I doubt that the seller is one one of the guys who got a copy of the "master") as well as selling bootlegs is something.... *&%&)§" (censored) etc. FYI: others created that way (with the difference that some of 'em contain artwork created by a good girlfriend of mine) were/are: Epic 1, 2 & 3 Kettledrum 1 & 2 The Alternative 1 & 2 The Legend Of Tr3s Lunas The Minimal MVR Variations Of Amarok (although this 1 doesn't have artwork, so far) Greetz, dkay -------------- Bootlegs should be shared not sold.

dkaycom Group: Members Posts: 443 Joined: Jan. 2002 Posted: April 30 2005, 08:03 good work, that's what these people should get. seems that this dwarf is a bit "bigger" in the bootleg-selling business as he's selling some other boots (Katowice '99, Preston '82, Saqsaywaman, ...), too.....reported....(as well as some others) seems that some1 even created a new front-cover for qe2 ext. greetz, dkay -------------- Bootlegs should be shared not sold.
