People have been wondering about this release. Just got off the phone with JMP and he said he's never announced a release date for the album. It definitley will not be coming out on the previously listed 09/15/08 release date, so I moved it to 12/31/08.
Perhaps this and other projects like this that have had indefinite release dates might suggest we need a "pending" release date option? |

Anyone know the status of this release? I ordered it from the Play! online shop a month ago, they billed me, but still no word on the release date.

Well, when I attended the concert where the recording was being done, they said the release date would be "late june 2008".
Still, I am not too worried, it's only been four months late. Buysoundtrax often delays my shipments as much as seven months... |

Confirmation from JMP today that it will be available at the Edmonton, Canada performance. Rights issues are sorted out, and the CD is going to press.

Curiously, the cover art published in Original Sound Version has Mario and Link... Someone knows if the CD and DVD will have the Nintendo tracks?

Heh, yeah, apparently it got "stuck in customs" at the Edmonton show, but good to know that they're finally shipping out. And yeah, sans Nintendo. They wouldn't allow their material to be used.

So are you gonna do a review? I eagerly await the final verdict before I drop 35 on a cd that I don't even know the tracklist of.

After quite a bit of searching, I was able to find out the album definitely shipped at least to some customers and even purchased myself a copy on iTunes. I've basically compiled all the basic information on the album and given my early thoughts here. In short, great arrangements, decent selection, under-rehearsed performances, bad recording quality. You can find more information in the album coverage and the concert report on the event itself.

I got it today, haven't listened yet, why is there a Commodore 64 medley but no Amiga medley, they play that every concert?

Well, I'm pretty sure both Lost Odyssey and Amiga medley weren't omitted for copyright reasons. I think it was more the fact the CD couldn't fit more in. The C64 and Amiga medleys were both pretty special items at the concert so it's pity both couldn't be recorded. I find the C64 medley to be one of the worst items on the CD though. The Great Giana Sisters sounds feeble compare to the similar Symphonic Shades version.

Hehe, we'll get our review up if/when the album arrives! I was starting to think that maybe they hadn't even shipped, as we were supposed to get our review copy early. Good to know that it's at least out there now.

Interestingly, I noted that the C64 Medley of PLAY! don't have "Shades" like in Fifth Symphonic Game Music Concert... "Commodore 64 Medley" (PLAY!) "Commodore 64 Medley" (FSGMC) |

The medleys were slightly different and basically refined for the Fifth Symphonic Game Music Concert. Not sure why JMP chose to use the original version, but it'd still be fantastic were it performed well. Comparing Great Giana Sisters on this and Symphonic Shades is just cringe-worthy.
