Aleksi Perälä - The Colundi Sequence

[Guest vibertisgod]

MINE EARS HAVE HEARD THE GLORY

 

Has no one realised that the Contact SD card comprises of 5.1 surround sound encoded WAVS?

 

This has been playing for the last couple of days on my surround sound system, totally immersive sound - track 6 is epic. The last 5.1 album I picked up was 'Surrounded' by Tipper, Contact easily surpasses it.

 

If you look closely at the (tiny) label, it states 192K 24BIT WAVE 5.1 (ITU 775). Had to google the last bit:

 

International Telecommunications Union, Operational Bulletin No. 775: The setup calls for 5 identical speakers to be equidistant from the listener along the arc of a circle with the centre channel in the front at 0 degrees, the left and right at +/- 30 degrees and the left and right back surrounds at +/- 110 degrees.

I would love to hear that. So gutted I missed out on this!

Man, didn't know it was surround! I just so happen to have an Onkyo I'm quite fond of...even has built-in flash drive support. This will be amazing!

fuck. i want that and i'm really pissed i missed out on that. I have all the colundi (save the wire recording lol)

[Guest vibertisgod]

I guess that's why the SD card was required as the files are so large. Have mailed Aleksi urging more 5.1 releases, some of the existing tracks must exist in this form as a few of the Colundi live sets have been 6 channel..

 

BTW for any braindance fans financially challenged and wishing to get into more of the sequence the whole thing has just appeared on Spotify.

One thing I still find a bit confusing is how low the levels are on a lot of the FLACs. It varies, but was mixing a track and had to put the gain up to about 10db.

The dynamic range is pretty good on colundi stuff, so they probably haven't been compressed to all hell.

I have lost count on all these Colundi bidnezz. What's going on, have we yet achieved a higher level state of being?

[mcbpete]

I've resonated my wang to the Colundi frequencies and now I've become one.

I've also now been banned from parks and public swimming pools.

[azatoth]

hope it was worth it

nice one - and i dont care that its not 5.1 as i dont listen on that anyway. I am no longer miffed - Cheers Aleksi/Grant/Colundistas

[Herr Jan]

Kind of regretting paying over 40 euros to ensure myself a copy of this (and Allantide), expecting it to be the only way to get it (like Allantide, both advertised as 'only available to punters at the colundi gigs'), to just see it on bandcamp for four quid a week later.

 

Well, at least everyone gets the opportunity to hear it now, so that's a good thing.

[jlobkob]

well, this is why a bidding system is a bit unfair...if they wan't more money they should probably have a set amount plus anything you are willing to give on top. this way they could assure that the crazy millionaire super-fan pays them a bazillion dollar for a sd-card, while the mere mortals know how many days they have to starve to gain the networth needed to make a purchase.

[Mellow U]

Damn dude, forty? I bid fifteen!

 

$20 USD for an SD card seemed fair.

I don't think it's about the money for them at all.

 

I'm stoked they are releasing this for everyone but my point was more onthe idea of exclusivity. I had no trouble justifying paying that amount knowing that, like with the Allantide CD, it is the only way to get the music, with a nice physical release to boot. Had I known about this digital release though...

 

Now I paid quite a bit and I can't stream it, something I use a lot (through bandcamp). If Allantide was released digitally at any point I probably could've assumed this one would be released at a later point too, but I guess I was wrong on that one. Well, at least I have the 5.1 version :)

I know of people on here who put in bids much higher than mine actually... Considering the second hand discogs prices the previous colundi releases go for, I thought this was a fair bid (35 pounds for the SD card ánd Allantide, that is) for something so exclusive. No regrets either, but I would've rather had the option to either grab the digitals or bid on the SD, that's all.
