Lovely Broken Thing : A message from Rick and Karl - Page 6

Thanks to everyone involved for this - it's a lovely release. Here's some quick comments:

Ordering process:
Went ok, but could be smoother. Had to use a 2nd credit card, after the first one was declined for some reason (it normally works fine for web purchases). PayPal would be a nice option.
Had to download about three times because it kept on stopping half way. I guess this could be down to the server load, and it got there in the end.
The download link appeared about 8 times - I understand this will be fixed soon.

Package:
Really nice to have artwork and bonus photos. Makes it something extra special that retail albums don't have.
MP3 at 192Kbps makes me a bit unhappy. Would have expected 320Kbps VBR, and would have liked a lossless version as an option (FLAC/WAV).
Come on R&K... lossy audio is SO 90's.
Also, it would have been good to know it was only 192Kbps before downloading. A single MP3 is ok, but a cue sheet would have been useful for burning.

Music:
Nice selection on tracks. No killer tracks ('Moaner' / 'Pearls Girl' quality), but hopefully those will be waiting for the next album. I know the point of this release is to make something slightly different, anyway, so for that I'm grateful. The first part is very nice indeed.

Overall: Top release, and keep it coming

I had to try my CC twice as well, but it worked fine the second time around... just like the download

JAL to Tokyo sounds sooo much better in good quality...

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

is at the very bottom of the country pick list for the order form. Under Z. I dont know if this is a practical joke or what.

Mil, try going to the Downloads section of the site. you should see it listed in there ready for you to get.

1. When you add the audio to iTunes, it says "River Run Project"
2. Who gives a damn that the U.S. is listed at the bottom? Good god, stop watching fox news.
