hibiscuskazeneko,

what?

oops, +1 to almond milk

spoiler: it tastes like almonds

I sit down, look at my screen and somehow read that as "CatQuest tastes like milk"

I suppose I need more coffee

With or without CatQuest?

Freso: tempted to set a "Thought of the Day" banner re: leaving fields blank being ok :p

reosarevok: +1

reosarevok: Sounds good.

hmm. not sure what to use as the release date of https://musicbrainz.org/release/99d62bb8-9542-4...

the album was bundled with a game release on kickstarter.

it has printed on it 2015-11-10, but the game wasn't actually shipped to backers until march 2016.

(i'm not sure what's actually printed on it, haven't seen album art for that version)

kepstin: assuming it's a physical release I'd go with the ship date.

(and assuming it was shipped with the physical game)

it was bundled in the physical game package, yeah

shipping date... is actually hard to find

That title hurts me though

there's no single ship date

Is there no kickstarter update to say 'we're shipping'?

Is that https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sekaiproje... ?

mine specifically was shipped march 9, which corresponds to their first shipping update

but they have different ship dates in eu and australia

yeah

Yeah, I'd say March 9th is the appropriate day.

(there's apparently also a digital copy of mabinogi with some of the tiers, but I'm doing only the physical one atm)

or multiple release events if the date is known for the EU/etc.

March 12 for the EU/AU?

not known yet, apparently they're on the way from the US to other fulfillment warehouses

probably march 9 is good enough; they started the shipping process for all orders on that date.

Oh I see, they're shipping from LA to their other warehouses, not to end-users there.

What's with the horrific title though? Isn't the title just "Mabinogi"?

not really, it has the "CLANNAD arrange album" as a subtitle everywhere

be more obvious once I put scans up

wtf is an "arrange album"?

an album of re-arranged music

http://clannad.wikia.com/wiki/Mabinogi links to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrangement which is useless

common term used in japanese for basically arranging a new recording based on the same underlying work.

as opposed to remix, where samples from the original are normally used, this is completely new recordings.

I'm surprised I don't see more search results for that then.

Are they just uncommon?

heh, "This album was released as a bonus item, included with the limited edition first printing of the PC version of the game released on 28 April 2004 by Key Sounds Label bearing the catalog number KSLA-0010, though this was later corrected to KSLA-0011"

mostly seen in the doijin music scene

where people make arrange albums of songs from games, etc.

this album is actually kind of inspired by that doijin scene arrange thing - they decided to make an official one as well

doujin*

gotcha

it really annoys me that the english version of this album uses the same catalogue number as the japanese one did

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%C5%8Djin_music seems a lot more relevant than the wikipedia "Arrangement" article

Yeah, that seems wrong.

(it also annoys me that track 9 isn't listed in the album art)

(i don't know if it was on the original japanese version - because, again, i haven't seen any scans for it ever)

hmm. http://key.soundslabel.com/discography.html?ksl... doesn't list track 9

so i guess it must have been an unlisted bonus track on the japanese version as well

kepstin: Do you happen to know if they reissued/reprinted the KSLA-0011? or was it just corrected in their catalog?

i.e. should that release be in MB as KSLA-0010 with an annotation or should there be two releases, KSLA-0010 and KSLA-0011?

I suspect that it was reprinted partway through the original run, so people with early copies have the -0010 version, and later copies have the -0011 version.

That'd make sense -- probably should be in as two releases then I guess, even though they're the same release in a sense.

I'd just put an annotation about the catalogue number mixup for now

It'd certainly be better to have 0010 cover art before adding it, I guess

heh, the actual -0010 release is a piano arrange album featuring music from the company's previous games.

and -0012 through -0014 are assigned to a 3-disk soundtrack release for the game (which I also have via this kickstarter)

interestingly, they just shipped me a copy of the japanese release of the soundtrack, it's not a re-done or updated version like they did with mabinogi

(I think the soundtrack was still in print, while mabinogi was a long out of print limited edition thing)
