Hi, I'm a Mod from Sonata Arctica Official Forum, and this is a list topic so it's against the rules, I'm gonna have to close it.......






:x I started a topic like this one there, and they closed it saying that... how riddiculous.

I've heard that posting on the SA forum is not unlike living in North Korea.

what I supposed. I know in Japan use to sell cdrom as full price cd. I really don't like that at all. I could buy them if they were factory press, but they aren't. I have a lot of bootleg in cdrom format by trading.

No, CD-R is short for CD-Recordable.

CD-ROMs are different from CD-Rs. CD-ROMs are factory-pressed while CD-Rs are used to burn data or audio in CD/DVD writers.


About bootleg, actually many bootlegs in Japan are burnt CD-Rs.

I like this Dreamspace version, too. :D

When tour 2003, they used to play a medley of a couple of songs from Strato's first 3 albums, the songs are Fright Night / The Hands Of Time / We Are The Future / Dreamspace / Tears Of Ice / We Hold The Key.

Actually with too little money (or too many hobbies: three cars, a motorcycle, going to live concerts etc) :D
There are many versions I'm still missing simply because lack of money: Japanese, Taiwan, Korean, South American, Noise etc. But they are most quite easily available. Therefore I have tried to consentrate on those more rear versions.
A week ago I lost an auction for Twiligh Time vinyl version in eBay. The price went up to 203$ :shock: It's the only vinyl I'm missing from Stratovarius... :(
Another guy was selling Fright Night vinyl version test pressing/promo sheet for 225$...

I found it from Finnish auction site called Huuto.net, costed only few euros. It's also printed in 1998 as is Destiny flag.
No Stratovarius flags are available on that site at the moment
