Camp Touchie?
Sounds like a nice boy....  :shock:

I'm secretly very excited about this. Haven't looked forward to an album this much since... well, EIMA, natch :)  
After the teaser of Zinomorph, if ears could salivate there'd be damp patches on my shoulders.

As one of the lucky Rosfesters, I can say that it's a fabulous album.. the entire group has really upped their game is just about every way possible.

It's not the winning or even taking part. It's the arsing about that counts.

Two things (three sir); My copy arrived today, it's fabbaroonie and Rob posted on the Touchstone forum that pre-orders are now closed. Not long to the pukka release though....

Great album.. loving the music... but the sound quality, well.

I don't want to sound like a grumpy old hobbit botherer, because I am all for a nice modern sound when it's done well. But something in the mixing / mastering of this album has gone a bit overboard, there's distortion all over the place and there are a couple of places (notably in the title track towards the end) where sudden really loud bits make the sound shrink away completely like the microphone on a little portable tape deck...  ;)

It's a shame because I think this detracts just a little from the otherwise awesome album!

I've not noticed it either and I've played it a fair bit. I guess it it could be a bum CD.

To be fair, I've been listening on earphones which do tend to show these things up a bit more than usual.

Maybe I'll try re-ripping the CD to my iTunes in case I got a bad rip.

Can't say I noticed anything I thought was "wrong".
There are some mahoosive big bass drum thumps (sub-woofer stretchers) in there (e.g. Wintercoast 9:04 & 9:19) that the car stereo just cannot handle if the volume is anywhere near "loud".

Yup, Pedro, those were the whoomps I was referring to!

Also, the section from 7.03 onwards is where I hear it being distorted for much of the rest of the song. It's probably just clipped peaks in the mastering I guess. I'd look at a picture of the waveform if I was 0.3% sadder than I already am. ;p
