The new LP is much better than the previous remaster, lord knows what they were thinking with the crazy amount of reverb on those.I got that big Delectus set a bunch of years ago, reverb on most of the albums, audio drops on others and parts cut out for some bizarre reason. The overall quality of the new digital files was stunning, but the changes and QA were bizarre. Still waiting for the actual definitive release of these albums on the CD format...

And there's a new Vangelis album coming up!? Yes, finally!

Edit: And I just ordered the Deluxe Edition. I have no idea what's Deluxe about it. But I'm all for it!

So anyone found anything about the Deluxe Edition? Seems it's going to finally be shipped the 29th, but there's still zero info on what the DE exactly entails...

News about this release is amazingly scarce. And there are people who complain about JMJs news output sometimes, this is a whole other level. The album has been delayed several times now and we still don't have info on the releases (other than that it's 1 CD, the vinyl edition is a double LP with gatefold sleeve). (I have ordered the Deluxe edition myself)

Absolutely, it's really strange how so little is known about the album. I grabbed the leak from back in (I think it was) August, but haven't given it a spin yet. But absolutely nothing seems to be up surrounding the album. There's a LE, but no info on what's Deluxe about it, plus it's more expensive than the 2 LP set. This is such a strange release, Nocturn and Rosetta were done amazing. Early promos, making of, singles, that website where you could unlock songs early. Yet this?!

I got some info about the release. There was never an official release date and there was never an official press release yet, but it is still going to be released. They are waiting for the right time. The early leak made the whole thing confusing.

That's really odd considering there seemed to have been multiple dates, so where did those come from is the question. We'll see it eventually, but man, this is such a odd situation.

Listening to Nocturne once more Vangelis should recorded acoustic piano.
Plasticy sounding digital piano used on Nocturne doesn't do justice to the music.
Even a decent sampled piano Ivory, Moddart, Garritan, Vienna would been better.

Wow, Armin, nice! He's talking about the PCR test, he does happen to live in a city where there's a relatively low contamination rate (I live there too).
