Re: Strawberry Hotel - new album out 25th Oct
been contemplating the "do not shuffle" message. It got me wondering whether the tracks may be blended or sugue at all. I then started wondering if that impacted the track times we have discussed.
I could be looking for things I want to see,..

Re: Strawberry Hotel - new album out 25th Oct
Since the track lengths for the 4 already released tracks are the same as the album versions, my guess is that the album is not segued.

Perhaps the "do not shuffle" is more to encourage an uninterrupted listening experience, or that R&K feel like their final track order is critical to the album journey.

Will be interesting to see how the Japanese CD bonus track either works with that order, or against it.

Nice! Thanks The Bang. Think that my CDJapan order will include the postcard. Not sure what the clear file and can badge fully are. And I see the mega jacket has a white border on it, but the big question is: is it a mega mega white thing?

Re: Strawberry Hotel - new album out 25th Oct
A "clear file" is like a translucent or transparent file folder that can hold looseleaf papers. I think they're popular in Japan, as that is where all the clear files in my house have come from.

A can badge is just a metal badge with a pin on the back so you can affix it to clothing. Something like this, likely: https://www.justbuttons.org/1-square...xoCwyMQAvD_BwE

Interesting - none of the singing in it yet, but get to hear the backing music. Assume this will be something of a choral piece as mentioned, given the source material for it and Esme's singing background.

I went and actually looked at the album credits on the back cover images that had been mentioned early and noticed something that I haven't seen commented on any yet: the whole album is credited as Produced by Rick and Esme, which is different and notable.

The Hilo Sky snippet shows her pretty involved with Rick in the production for that track and seems to be inspiring him (and I'd imagine he would find the collaboration with her really important and enjoyable). I'm wondering if having another perspective involved has inspired this album to feel a little different.

I find it curious that beatink does not handle the release this time. Guess that was not possible. They also did not handle summer sonic.

Re: Strawberry Hotel - new album out 25th Oct
Any idea what exactly a mega jacket is? I wonder if I should order that or go to HMV.

Found out: https://www.amazon.co.jp/b?node=8004683051
Hm… like having an LP without the LP part.
