Will be preordering for certain, with or without the lure of any freebies.

2 cds and 64 minutes of music. :confused:

edit - i feel bad saying anything bad about B12. They make really great music. But stuff like using 2 cds when you could fit it onto one irks me.

Yeah, I agree. Mine arrived today and I stuck on the 1st CD and noticed it was only 29 minutes long. Then the 2nd CD which was about 35 minutes long - obviously both could have easily fit on one disc - maybe the B12 archives could have been in 3 or 4 parts as opposed to 7?!

Yeah, I do feel a tiny bit ripped off there. Won't stop me ordering the other six though (money permitting).

well if they're cutting the music into the original EPs (which it looks like they are), and just adding a little to each, then i get it. a Musicology disc and a 2001 - Space Age disc. yeah, i like it like that. kind of a purist thing i guess.

Yeah good point actually, and that does change my feeling on it when you look it at that way.

Since CDs and MP3s feel like pretty much the same thing to me these days I had no issues buying this on Amazon for $7.

Sorry - been offline for a bit.

They're 256 variable, which is apparently CD-quality.

Just downloaded volume 2 which is great but short.
