This is the post-apocalyptic Kajiura Yuki cover album thread.

Slowly everything will be re-posted here, as I am a bit busy this next week it might take a while.

First of all, some bad news: as I have already relayed through Skype and CPM chat, it became more and more apparent that the cover album will NOT be finished in time for Kajiura Yuki's birthday this year, so I have decided to postpone it for another year. This will seriously improve the quality of the album as the extra time will be well spent. You guys will not have to wait a full year for everything, I will use this page right here to keep you guys posted.

Second, I finally started my holiday today, so hopefully I will be posting A LOT of new stuff in the next couple of weeks.

Last, I hope you guys stick around here and keep checking out the progress! Thank you very much.

Looking extremely forward to you works, RaveD ;)
I can hardly play 2 minute of SAPPHIRE without screwing up... I just gave up and gave UP.

so much time to wait :blood:

Providing that there are no things like CD production period in it (like it happens with the real releases) so I bet a big part of this delay is " in case something happens and dont make it in time in closer release date "

Will it have booklet too ? :ayashii:

I cannot actually release the cd commercially or anything like that, since I do not have the rights to covered music. Even if I could release it, there would be a complicated procedure with all the collab artists, who also have rights to the songs they have participated in. Thus, nothing commercial, but to make it feel more like a single project I want a single release, therefore I did not leak ANY full tracks yet.

There are several reasons for this release date.

First of all, 12 out of 19 planned songs are finished. The other 7 will need time. And since I got new equipment last month, I want to re-record everything in the new, higher quality standard I've set for the piano parts on the album. Therefore currently only 1 song is in HQ, but the rest will come soon enough. I've set the deadline for all singers and instrumentalists at June 1st, but knowing how things tend to go, I need some room for an extension there that I am not planning on using...

Second, I need to plan time for Andi Pan-duh to finish the booklet. I want to have the text finished by June 1st also. I intend to ask people to write small bits for the booklet, which also requires a small amount of time. Which in turn answers your following question.

Yes. I've worked too long and too hard on this to finish it half-assed, so I want a booklet. I've been wanting one from the start and have been planning booklet-related things for quite a while.

Third and final, August 6th is Kajiura-sama's birthday. I intend to have sent her a hardcopy that she must receive before that day. I don't want people to get to hear the album before Kajiura-sama has had a chance to. Even if she's never going to listen to it. Which is not unlikely :blood: . Nonetheless, I will stay optimistic :sohappy: . I think I might make a special version with a bonus track just for her, containing a cover of Dreamscape.
 
I am looking into making hard copies now. This means fully professional colour booklets my a specialised company and pressed CDs. I hope I can work out a nice price for 100 discs or so. Then I can send a nice one to Kajiura-dono :sparkleguy: .

16 songs are finished now. I am nearing the deadline for the audio part. Next week I will finalise it no matter what... meaning that any song not finished by then will not be on the album. The songs that are still works in progress are and may or may not make it onto the album are:

- B.T. [.hack//SIGN]
- Fields of Hope [Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny]
- Jr. [Xenosaga II]
- Michiyuki [Loveless]
- Unforgettable [.hack//LIMINALITY]
 
Okidoki.

Looks like Fields of Hope and Michiyuki will make it onto the album, the other three songs do not. So, I will try to finish the booklet information and the audio this week. This album is really almost done now!
