Hah, now all we need is an Aquaria "Expansion Pack" for the songs, not even a sequel. xD

That'd be a kinda fun project to work on actually...
. . . :D

One more question for you, Alec :o I'd say my favorite part of the entire soundtrack is the portion of "Fear The Dark" from about 4:50 to 5:20, where it has Jenna harmonizing with herself to a modified version of "Lost to the Waves". It is goddamn awesome. I was curious, do you have that backing track separated anywhere? I'd like to maybe use it as a cell phone ringer.

Also, if they exist, putting out a download of the karaoke versions of "Fear the Dark" and "Lost to the Waves" would be really cool -- I have a friend who would love to sing it and put it up on youtube :)

Ah, good idea... I'll look at creating an instrumental version.

Just registered to ask a quick question: Bought the soundtrack within an hour or so of it going live on Etsy and have been waiting with baited breath for it to get shipped in. I got an email from Etsy telling me that my package was going to be shipped Canada Post (6-12 business days) and giving me a tracking number, but when I go to Canada Post's website and put that tracking number in it doesn't show it as having been shipped yet- just that "an order has been electronically submitted". Reassure me that this is just website wonkiness and my package was in fact shipped!

Thinking about it, I just realized I never received any kind of email related to shipping after my order confirmation. Is there any way I can check to see what the status on it is? It's nice listening to the digital version, but I'm excited to get my physical copy. Let me know what info you need, if any, to check on it.

Also, awesome news on the instrumental versions :D I've had Fear The Dark on repeat the past day or so..I can't help it!

Forgot one other question before--if I or a friend wanted to put Fear the Dark up on google, would that present an issue, or is it OK to do so?

What do you mean by "put it up on google" exactly?

Everyone seems to think their copy will arrive within a week, but its very unlikely.

International small packet surface shipping isn't super fast. (to the states it could be anywhere from 1-3 weeks, international 4-6)

Maybe everyone's expecting it sooner because they're used to stuff shipping from the US?

I totally understand it not arriving quickly, and accept it. The thing is..everyone else is talking about these shipping confirmations theey're receiving, saying its been shipped out. and I don't have one of those :(

Hrm, we'll check into that. I do have a printed out receipt for your shipping label with a parcel id, which means we shipped it.

Yay, that's good to hear at least. I was just worried it had fallen through the cracks since I didn't have a confirmation like others. Thanks for checking for me!

Yeah, that was the source of my question too- Canada Post's website seems to be trying to tell me that it hasn't shipped yet, and I never got a shipping confirmation myself, either.

Since it#s arriving on Dec 31 1969 or Jan 1 1970, it should be already shipped. ;)

Yeah, odds are you guys weren't there to pick it up in 1970, so they all got returned. :P

EDIT: Also, I took photos of every single package we shipped, so if there's ever a problem we can like... double-confirm that it went out.

You may want to contact ByteJacket--they don't seem to realize that if you order the whole digital album, you still get the 5 bonus tracks.
