Thank you Dr_Jones for this summary - some interesting tidbits.
Can't wait to listen to the (not quite) album - Amazônia!
They probably compared it to the sales of the EoN box and thought: "better do a more limited quantity".jeanbatman wrote: ↑Wed Apr 07, 2021 9:23 am Slightly OT / Taschen is a good publishing company, it has good reputation here in France (this is more a professional point of view). I don't get how they could think 50 copies would be enough for the purpose. This is unthinkable.
Yes, agreed. But still I think they got cautious with selling limited editions.
From what I understand a part of the money goes to the ethnographic museum of Geneva who lended him ethnic music excerpts and another part of the royalties goes for non-profit organizations struggling against deforestation. I found some of them while googling on the subject: Amazon conservation association, Rainforest trust, Rainforest Action network, Amazon Watch, and WeForest.
At the end, around 55:30 in the chat.
