I was wondering if people could post up their comments on what they thought of the new Jounrey on a Piano CD.

Thank you!

Nice!

Would be great if the source of the songs were on the track listing on the back though. e.g. Isn't it Beautiful (FFX)

I was really silly though and expected Hiro and Ayako to feature as well, I was disappointed.

Have listened to it 6 or 7 times since Saturday, I think that says a lot ...

I'm glad that there were many Uematsu pieces on it... To me, it seemed to make up for the lack of Uematsu on the ANIF'04 CD. Smile

I think most of what's on the CD were the better pieces on the night, especially "Those 'the' Fight"( Razz

) and "Two Hearts Not Captured".
Woulda been better were the violins present, but hey, it is called "Journey on a Piano". Laughing

Great choice of pieces. I'm glad all the cool ones are on it! [You could've fitted an extra song or two on couldn't you =P ]

OH YEAH the spelling mistakes on the CD case!!!
On the front it says "Alexy Yemtsob Journeys on a Piano". And on the side it says "Alexy Yemtsov Journey on a Piano".
Also, on the back, "10. Those the Fight" - Isn't it Those that Fight?
"13. Ashitake and San", but on the Program it printed "Ashitaka san San".

I'm gona find whoever typed this up!!!

That sounded too... complainy... LOL I LOVE THE CD

its the morning [ or should i say afternoon? ] after PSIII and i woke up to the sound of Alexey playing from my sis's comp! =]

as for the cd... from what iv seen and heard, the songs picked were the ones that were more famous ones [ i think? ]. i don't play ff but i know at least a few of the songs!! Alexey sounds great on the cd, teeheehee especially the songs i know [ just cuz i know them! ^^ ]

i gotta say though... what happened to the head on the picture on the back inside cover? [ the page placed under where the cd sits ] haha, i dont mind it but it does kind of ruin the cd a little... not to mention all the spelling mistakes too.....

overall, very nicely produced cd!! Yay! 3 cheers for Eminence and Alexey!

I must say that Alexey had performed well on the CD as well as the night performance during the Piano Stories III ^_^ Very well done!

Few comments on the CD:
1. The cover doesn't have bleed and it wobbles a lot (heh. Being a pre-press designer I tend to get VERY predentic (sp?) about these small things).
2. Spelling mistakes.

Other than that, it's a very good effort to give the audience a chance to listen more to Alexey's performance much closer. Wink

WELL DONE!!!

Other than a few case issues, as well the CD holder circle in the middle was broken when i bought mine.

I like the songs chosen sound great, well performed and recorded. =]

hmm... here's the (probably the only one ever) solitary complaint... i thought that the recording wasn't too great.. the sound was a bit soft, and i had to turn up me speakers heeeeeaaaaps high before i can get it nice and clear from my set of Lansings... it would be good if the recording was done a little better. other than that, probably pretty good! shoulda included those 3 pieces that hiro and aya played as well... they sounded awesome.

That's why you have a program like iTunes that levels the volume for you!
Cool

I thought it was recorded before the actual performance...
