Site ideas from a fan's perspective...

This also reminds me of something off topic, but the Japanese version of "I" has the lyrics for Shadows I - III...

My European version has it, too. I thought it was a general thing to release "I" with all the lyrics until then, is there a version that doesn´t have them?

Yes, the normal "I" version has all the lyrics.
But the Japan version of "The breathing shadow" has the "breathing shadow" lyrics as bonus. I've seen it.

I don't think my US "I" has all three, but I'll check... I remember getting the japanese in the mail and thinking how much thicker the sleeve booklet was... I may be wrong though, it wouldn't be the first.

So maybe the U.S.version was then different, unless Xack confirms otherwise
No point for me in getting "Breathing Shadow" just for the lyrics which are in the "I" - booklet, too, but I would be curious concerning the mentioned difference in sound. The only japanese version of something I have is Children Of Bodom´s Tokyo Warhearts because at that time, this record wasn´t released in Europe at all, it appeared only later.

I don´t anymore collect the same things just for the sake of having a complete collection. I´d rather travel for that money; I would only look for it/buy it / d/l it when it´s different in some way, or has new songs.

I did download EVERYTHING while it was available, but the Nightingale demos were all broken links... but server space\monthly bandwidth limitations WILL not be a problem... (that's all I got to say about that)

I have a couple of Nightingale demos (Game Over and The Journey's End) and a cover that were up on the site (From a Dry Camel).

fireangel, I agree with your collecting philosophy - new/different songs, better quality, sure, but if it's just a matter of packaging I'd rather spend my money & time on something else.

Hello forum.
Well, i have to say that i was the one who uploaded all the stuff from swano.com when it was online.
I have all the cds Dan sent me and i can help with the upload stuff, i'm waiting for the ISP assholes to increase my upload speed, so when i have done that, i can upload all the stuff.

Let me know if you need my help okay?

i hope the new swano.com be a total kick-ass site!!

Oh, what should be also included is the whole story of The Breathing Shadow. I meant to say that earlier and forgot, and was reminded by the new topic here.
There is one interview (out of several there) by JimLotFP in the mag´s archives, where Dan tells pretty much all about the first 3 albums. This part should be put on the page, either with permission by Jim or through a link to his mag, because it is being asked all the time about this.

yep, it´s just too expensive and no point for similar things. Even though it´s moderate with EOS-Stuff and some people like to have the vinyl. But if you are a Nightwish-collector for example, then Goth bless your bank account
