Any update on the soundtrack?

[Atreus]

Man, those piano arrangements are really awesome. I hope he does more, and even moreso I hope he releases downloads.

 In the mean time, I have ripped them off youtube. It was obviously transcoded, so there's some quality loss, but its way better than nothing. Would any of you like them so you can listen at your leisure?

Got my copy in the mail today. I was so excited. The album artwork and CD artwork is beautiful of course. Fear the Dark is great, and a bit scary if you stop and think about the lyrics. The Marian track was also good, even though it reminded me so much of Aquaria that I'm not sure normal people would recognize that it is from a different game. I'm very glad to hear ya'll broke even on the soundtrack.

Oh, I noticed there was an error in one of the track names iTunes pulled down from the internet. March of the Krotites was listed as Marck of the Krotites or something like that.

Yeah, I see that in my own listings, which are what was uploaded.  Oops.  Oh well -- if it's just one typo, and it still does allow folks to get the tracks automatically, that's still pretty good...

Hey, I got my copy, signature and all. And a little "Thanks Carlton"

:3

Glad they're arriving.

Here's another pic of an arrival off twitter: http://img162.yfrog.com/i/q4v.jpg/

Hi, registered just to say thanks for (finally!) deciding to release this. Been checking in monthly ever since playing the game last year and I was pleasantly surprised to see the CD on sale recently, which just came in today.

I'm spinning it as I write this and I feel the need to say that your Aquaria music is exceptional. I think anyone here can tell that you've poured your entire heart and soul into this music and it goes without saying that you guys have really created something special here.

So again, thanks. I'm curious to see what you do next.

(trying to imagine "Remains" fully orchestrated)

[Hiro]

Heh heh... If Alec's entire soul is in my little package in the mail...then who's running that body over in Canada?! :O



I really like Remains. It'd be totally rad to hear it done up more.

*Receives Package*

Ooooo! This is so great!

Very satisfactory package. I question the use of ziplocks, though the infinite ammo sticker with my name on it. 

The music is presented very well and I have very little complaints. The only element that got an "Aww man..." from me was the Intro having Naija's narration. Call me a blasphemous coward who doesn't understand the simple notion of a quality track, but I always break down crying when I'm listening to in-game audio rather than, you know, the music! Thankfully I won't lose sleep over this. I LOVE Jenna Sharpe's voice work on the Intro track for it perfectly sets the mood and theme of the game. I will gladly accept this vocal inclusion over the Spock voice over track on the "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Complete Collection" ending track (Darn you FSM!)

Overall, fantastic soundtrack. Thanks for the hard work!

Now, let's see what this signature thing is all about....

*Finds the Signature*

Huh? What the.... ALEC! I thought you were going to sign the CD booklet or the front of the poster, not on the back of the poster. How am I supposed to frame it now? Your signature is going to be on the back and no one will be able see it!   

[Alphasoldier]

SEND IT BACK!

[Alec]

:O Yeah, I sign the back cause I don't want to ruin the art.

There's a picture here of where the signature goes: http://infiniteammo.bigcartel.com/product/aquaria-original-soundtrack-signed-edition (last pic)

I've clarified the signing options in case there's any further confusion.

If you'd like us to send you an alternate signed copy, shoot us an email at hello@infiniteammo.ca and we'll work something out. (we'll probably ask you to cover the shipping and the cost of the physical materials involved, whatever they end up being)

Thanks for the feedback!

[Alec]

Very satisfactory package. I question the use of ziplocks, though the infinite ammo sticker with my name on it. 

Is there a price and ease-of-use equivalent alternative to ziplocs that you could recommend?

Doh, I'm sorry Alec. I didn't mean to make a fuss about it. It just took me by surprise. I've collected so many soundtracks in the past that I just didn't see it coming. I hereby turn down that statement. Besides, I didn't write correctly anyways. I meant to say "though the infinite ammo sticker with my name on it made up for it".  I put that on my PowerMac Tower handle just yesterday.

If you'd like us to send you an alternate signed copy, shoot us an email at hello@infiniteammo.ca and we'll work something out. (we'll probably ask you to cover the shipping and the cost of the physical materials involved, whatever they end up being)

Sounds like a perfectly reasonable and worth while idea to me. Thanks Alec.

Curious fade effect I came across in the soundtrack.

"Track 15: Remains"

Remains is probably the most emotional track I've heard in the game. I went into the sound files and played that sucker constantly to clear my head. When I listen to the soundtrack rendition, I note that the loud 'bell' like sound (sorry if I got the term wrong) heard in the beginning has been faded out somewhat. The beginning of the bell was very profound and clear in the files, but the soundtrack only fades in after the bell starts.

Was this a creative decision? Was the start of the bell too intrusive?

Very satisfactory package. I question the use of ziplocks, though the infinite ammo sticker with my name on it. 

Heh.... we wanted a way to ensure a zero percent possibility that anyone's merchandise could be ruined by water damage, should their package stumble upon torrential rains or puddles. Ziplocs seemed like the easiest solution
Besides, it's the gift that keeps on giving; you can now safely transport a tasty sandwich to eat somewhere else.

Disclaimer: if you send me sandwiches, I won't sign them.
