And...I said this here a lot of times but one of the best and unforgettable moments in Stratovarius discography is Emancipation Suite part I from minute 4,54 to 6,24 and in Winter Skies song from minute 2,46 to 4,46.
...Faster than light, higher than the sky, stronger than steel...We´re the legions of the Twilight...

Cmon, Stratovarius needs a lot more merchandising, they have just ONE live DVD and it is not exactly a live DVD, it is more like a home video.
We definitely NEED Strato live DVD!
DEFINITELY WE NEED IT!!!!

Emancipation suite as a whole IS one of the best moments in the bands music as a whole. Definetly the cream of the crop.

I did a quick google of the word Elysium and it's a part of greek mythology, appereantly the final resting place for the heroes and for the virtuos.

And there's a pelican on the cover. I love it.

About Elyssium song, please if it's possible do not cut it in three parts! Make it all one track! With the three parts and their transition, ok, but not in different tracks...

Only thing I can say is if it's divided, that's A. easier to navigate to your favorite part, and B. 3x as many plays on my last.fm profile.

They tour Japan almost every year. :lol:

And I heard "Taiwan, China" is already confirmed, the scheduled time is around February or March in 2011. Mainland China still waiting to be confirmed.

So, let's see Strato tour Asia in February or March. :lol:

They are mostly to play in Beijing and Shanghai if they come to Mainland China next year.

Not sure about Guangzhou, as I know, there's no good places (or good live houses) for Stato to play there. I remember last time Ensiferum played in Guangzhou, the atmosphere was great and their performance was just amazing, however, the sound was very poor and the ground is very small.

I like MAO LiveHouse in Beijing and Shanghai, and The Star Live House in Beijing is also very good. :lol:

And I meant to the new album. Why not release a special edition? In this special edition of the new album, they could have included then the live bonus cd, instead of doing it for an album already released.


That's called double dipping (The practice of selling a media item to a consumer multiple times via a Special edition).


If you are ok with this kind of things, no problem, everyone is entitled to its own opinions.

So riddle me this, had Polaris live edition been the same price, with the same cover, and just happened to NOT have the actual Polaris disc in it, would you have been happier? It was priced like a normal live album.

You are right. In the net is quite cheap but here in the stores is almost 20€.

Can't fucking wait. The artwork for Polaris and Elysium is some of the best album artwork I've seen in years.

I hope Stratovarius does VIP meet-and-greets again the next time they visit the USA... hint hint, Jens! :wink: I can't believe I left my limited edition Polaris in the car last time... maybe I'll have to bring that and Elysium both next time!

Just registered to say this: Will the new album/single be available for iTunes pre-order? It looks AMAZING!
