The Next Stratovarius Compilation

The 2-CD set supposed to be out next month acording to TT, as he stated in his forum.

Are you going to get it? And I wonder what songs are going to be on it?

Hopefully, we will hear more about this CD as time goes by.

I think, I'll buy it in Wacken. There everything is cheaper.

I'l just listen to beg's copy.

in a way, compilations are a waste. I mean, if you buy the albums all the songs are on them. But, I guess compilations do not have the excess songs that are not so great.

I'm going to get it, no matter if I own all their previous albums as well.

Looks pretty interesting, i wouldn't have expected "Stratovarius" and "Shattered" there. But just two Elements songs..?

Remember Dave that from Infinite till Elements 2 they were signed by nuclear Blast, and this compilation is released by Sanctuary. They must need to get licences for the songs from those albums!

I'll buy it. this seems perfect to me, as i own all the albums after Episode but not before...

no, the real thing is i'm going to buy all their albums anyway. but it's still good to get this compilation first, before i collect more money for the rest.

hopefully we will know the release date soon...as i might buy some other CDs together with it, to save some shipping fee.

True, but remember also that it is a product for a fan and a fan doesn't care about such licence things, he wants to hear a BEST OF and not a best of sanctuary-era.

Sounds very interesting this compliation. I will buy it anyway and the japan edition too

But how much the record companies like Sanctuary in this case cares about that fan-opinion?

From these albums which were made under NB they seem to have got the licences of the most hits of course. Which is very common if thinking about BEST OF -compilations.

So, already know the Japanese edition setlist?

Beast_Pete · Post by **Beast_Pete** » Tue Apr 18, 2006 8:45 pm

As a collector, I must buy it. But I think, it will be two CDs with ALL the albums and many singles and some bootlegs on it. Yes, even bootlegs!

Stratofanius · Post by **Stratofanius** » Tue Apr 18, 2006 9:39 pm

I'm not gonna buy it... but anyway, it's cool that there are FOUR songs from Twilight Time, it's my 3rd favourite Strato-album! :headbang:

If that is the set-list, yes--I will buy it!

stratoplayer · Post by **stratoplayer** » Thu Apr 20, 2006 10:28 pm

I'll buy it no matter what, got all of their main albums (except the chosen ones and I have no singles) but that list looks amazing, one of the greates compilation's I 've seen since Helloween's Treasure Chest!

Earl Grey · Post by **Earl Grey** » Fri Apr 21, 2006 2:29 am

I won't buy it cause i already own one of the songs.
Now if there were one or two bonus tracks, thats diff.

browneyedgirl · Post by **browneyedgirl** » Fri Apr 21, 2006 1:17 pm

It would have been cool if we could have voted on the songs&maybe, like Earl said, some of the rarer ones might have been included, like "Falling Into Fantasy", "Into Deep Blue", etc. and some of the Hymn to Life&WFTD songs.

That would have been a great idea - if it had been limited only to rare songs and not hits. Ah, have to say I nearly love those songs like Falling into Fantasy or Into Deep Blue. :music:

MetalAngel · Post by **MetalAngel** » Sat Apr 22, 2006 10:26 pm

If I'll have enough money, so yeah, I'll buy it too...

Paola · Post by **Paola** » Sat Apr 22, 2006 11:54 pm

Well, I'll have to wait that the cd will come to my country

browneyedgirl · Post by **browneyedgirl** » Tue May 23, 2006 4:08 pm

Is it ready yet? Has anyone heard?

Wanderer · Post by **Wanderer** » Tue May 23, 2006 8:50 pm

Come on, guys, hold yourselves in your pants

TT nor Jens haven't confirmed that the set is really coming. But I think I read from the Finnish side that strato had a deal about two albums with Sanctuary.. So if "Stratovarius" was first, is this the last album of Stratovarius

Anyway, I'll buy it! Learning To Fly should have been there, though.. it's one of the most encouraging songs from Strato...

Timo Tolkki himself has confirmed it on his forum yet

So it's sure that this set will come.

Equinox · Post by **Equinox** » Wed May 24, 2006 12:10 am

I will probably buy it...if I go to the store and find it, and have $....
I think I'll buy it.

htcdude · Post by **htcdude** » Wed May 24, 2006 9:30 am

I'll buy it cheap on eBay

browneyedgirl · Post by **browneyedgirl** » Wed May 24, 2006 1:04 pm

I will get it either from CenturyMedia, or MetalDisc. But, I checked both sites&nothing is there yet.

Supposedly the set was going to be out by the end of the month. However, CDs are usually available in Europe a couple weeks before uSA.

Dreamaster · Post by **Dreamaster** » Tue Jun 20, 2006 5:05 pm

Here is the cover:

Plus I have the info that the release has been delayed to the end of the year.
The first date announced was 17 April 2006 but now postponed.

Equinox · Post by **Equinox** » Tue Jun 20, 2006 8:28 pm

Can you get a bigger version of that pic?
It looks cool, thanks!

dirge · Post by **dirge** » Tue Jun 20, 2006 9:52 pm
