No I can't reach the belt, but it doesn't really matter if it doesn't adjust the speed at which it's supposed to rotate anyway. Audition has a whole bunch of options for speed and pitch. It works really good and I used the previews on the website to adjust the pitch. It's not perfect, but until someone else does a rip, it's the best I'm going to have until then

Aha...Oh Snap. I see the problem. I guess I'll have some rip-off to do a.s.a. my vinyls arrives.

OOh YES! I love Moby. Thanks you so very much Kanta for the great news!
The first track I think of from Moby is that one called "The Sun Never Stops Setting".

[1906]

track 1: vinyl rip of Watching for You (Jarre Reworked version)
track 2: same track, mp3 bought from Amazon

And the loudness war still rages on.

[Velodynamic]

The same procedure as every year, James! (dinner for one)

[Jote]

In a "digital download" world maybe it would make sense to release a "quieter" version for "connoisseurss" in addition to the regular "loundess-war-enabled" version. It's a win-win - diehard collectors will buy both, average Joes will buy the loud one, we will buy the quieter one

[Finaero]

Well, at least the vinyl recording looks sensible compared to the other one.

Still haven't listened the albums in question to OR seen similar comparison photos of the Essentials & Rarities vinyl and CD versions, but I heard that the vinyl version was full of loudness war as well.

A shame, for example the vinyl version of Depeche Mode's Playing the Angel is clearly superior to the loudnessloudness CD version, long gone are the days when you could expect the vinyl version to still be more properly mastered...

... but in the case of these 12'' singles, I guess they've been done well? In any rate, I haven't received my copies yet and if they've been shoddily packed, well, that'll be just f'n dandy.

From JMJ's facebook:

"The pre-order for my new album is finally here! Pre-order today and receive 4 songs before the release!

Exclusive boxset limited to 1000 units signed and numbered only available via

http://myplay.me/1efm
iTunes: http://smarturl.it/jmj_eproject_itunes
Amazon: http://smarturl.it/jmj_eproject_amazon
"

Ummm. Am I missing the "regular physical CD" release here?

[Finaero]

Most intriguing. But eh, "hey, here's part 1 and soon you can pay more for PART 2!" is kind of weird. And I've never heard of MyPlay Direct before (or maybe I have, since the page is quite familiar).

Not gonna lie, the deluxe boxes do intrigue me, but eh, we'll see.

[Christophe]

To much money for those deluxe-boxes. And it's still not completed! Who can pay that? Someone that have in his backyard a donkey that poop money I guess. Can I have that donkey, please.

Greetings,

Maybe Rimbert is jealous. Or he is angry that he isn't on the new album? who knows?

I like when Jarre walking other ways. It make his music always interresting and currious, album after album! And sometimes with other collaborators and not always the same.

Greetings,

Maybe, time to change this title of this topic!

[Velodynamic]

There are a lot of Jean Michel Jarre fans out there prepared to spend rediculously much money on Jean-Michel's releases. He knows that or else there would never be this kind of price settings.
We can only imagine what the second hand value will be on those deluxe boxes at e-bay later on.

Maybe, time to change this title of this topic!

Yes, indeedy!

[Dr_Jones]

Ah, perfect. The topic has been renamed.

[Velodynamic]

Guilty as charged. Yeah, I caved in and took the BIG BOX. MUHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Well good on you!
I have to wait for the next month's paycheck plus honestly I would like some more info about the tracks et.c. before I'd hit it. But they're probably sold out by then.
I like the design though. Neat and clean.
(p.s. it's not real gold. It's spray coated tint. )
