Already bought the album (did this yesterday), bu I purposely haven't heard any of the teasers. I just expect Martin Schnella to give us amazing music regardless. Very much looking forward to the record!

[Elite]

I just got Mirage - A Portrayal of Figures in my mailbox!! Very excited to listen to it, will do so soon!

[bl5150]

Let me guess - the first thing you did , before even thinking about playing it , was to make sure your name was up in lights in the liner notes     

[Elite]

Well, my name is in there indeed. Saw a couple of other familiar ones as well

[Dr. DTVT]

Stupid international shipping... *does the peepee dance*

Pretty much this.

[lonestar]

Yup...

[Elite]

Sorry you Americans and Canadians, it's well worth the wait, for it's amazing.

*prays it comes tomorrow*

[Nick]

You will all have it before me. Still waiting for it to reach normal American retailers.

[Elite]

You could have pre-ordered, you know.

[Nick]

You could have pre-ordered, you know.

Yup, and payed an arm and a leg.

Mine was 22 Euro shipped to Australia which I didn't think was that bad.

[jingle.boy]

Mine was €28... but that also included the Steel Protector album from Martin that I've been wanting for a while.

[Evermind]

Mine was ~21€, shipping to Russia. Needless to say, it hasn't arrived yet and I honestly don't expect it to for at least one more week, if not two.

Got mine yesterday and after one listen:                               

[Nick]

I don't know how the Aussie and Canadian rates with the Euro are, but 22 Euro is 30 dollars.

I'll go a bit more for bands I really want to support, but that's over double what I typically pay for a single album.

And for me... FR is one of those bands.

Did you use connections to get an early copy, or can the rest of us expect it soon too? 

[lonestar]

[Evermind]

You guys are so impatient. 

By the way, about costs, if I order CDs in Russian stores, I always pay ~20€+ for special editions like digipacks and stuff. It's cheaper to get them from the abroad, though the shipment costs are usually quite big, so at the end it's the same. Let's see, IQ new album cost me £19.67, Pariah's Child 18,52€, only Gamma Ray turned out to be quite cheap. So 20€ for Flaming Row? I'm in.

[Dr. DTVT]

I may be impatient, but I'm not Russian it

No connection, bro.  I just pre-ordered like everyone else for this one 

[kirksnosehair]

By the way, I'm only two listens in now and this is already a contender for AOTY 


This is the kind of project that inspired my own.  These songs were recorded in pieces all over the world and put together to make this album.  The fact that it is recognizably a Flaming Row album did not escape my notice.   It ain't easy to pull that off when you're working with multiple musicians across several different continents.    But I've gotta tell you, this album definitely shows that with the right person(s) mixing and producing, geographical proximity is not an obstacle to creating a cohesive-sounding prog album.

FR is one of those bands for me as well. I'd happily throw a few extra bucks there way. But when it's over double the normal price, and all I have to do is wait to get it at regular price... then I wait.

[bl5150]

We pay double out here for everything anyway (even digital files, which companies like Apple have trouble explaining) so for me - even if it hit the stores (which it won't) - I'd have been paying more anyway.......probably $40.

[Dr. DTVT]

Barry, fair or not, I blame you for the expectation that this album would be waiting for me when I got home today.  And it wasn't, so I blame you for my disappointment.

Also got mine today (the limited edition, with my name in the pre-order cool list  ). Will listen to it later.
