[Luis]

Due to high demand of SymphonyXs discs, their records company has decided to launch four new editions. Special editions will contain:​

* Digipack format​

* New photos​

* Commentaries by the band members about All the songs​

* An interwiev with the group divided in four parts, one in each disc.​

IS THIS OFFICIAL??​

That image uses the same packaging Inside Out has used on its recent reissues, but I wouldn't regard this as official until I hear something from the band or the label...

I found something (on french) about that stuff... if anybody knows french, please translate this...

N.T.S (Nothing To Say) a décidé pour cette fin d'année de ravir les fans mais aussi les personnes qui ne connaissent pas encore ce groupe (en reste-t-il ?). Cette idée est en fait la conséquence directe de la montée fulgurante de SYMPHONY X auprès des fans de l'Hexagone (rappellez vous la date à la locomotive en 1998 et la tournée de FIVE en France où les dates ont été une totale réussite en terme d'affluence). L'autre raison était que "The Divine Wings Of Tradegy" et "Twilight in Olympus" sur CNR Music n'etaient plus distribués en France.

A cette occasion, NTS nous sort pour le 17 Novembre 2003, la réedition des quatres premiers albums "Symphony X" (1994), "The Damnation Game" (1995), "The Divine Wings Of Tragedy" (1997) et "Twilight In Olympus" (1998) sous la forme de digipacks à tirages limités (1500 exemplaires chacun) dotés de livrets améliorés par des photos et des commentaires « chanson par chanson », avec en bonus une piste CDRom présentant une interview exclusive du groupe divisée en quatre parties (une sur chaque CD).

The only thing that I understand is that the re-editions will be ready on November 17th, this year...

 

[Medusa's eyes]

I went to the site www.freetranslation.com and posted the text in there. This is what came out:

N. t. S (Nothing To Say) decided for this year end to delight the fans but also the persons that do not know again this group (in does there remain?). This idea some did the direct consequence of the climbed dazzling SYMPHONY X'S with the fans of the hexagone (rappellez you date it to the locomotive in 1998 and the turn of FIVE in France where date them were a total success in terms of crowd). The other reason was that "The Divine Wings Of Tradegy" and "Twilight in Olympus" on CNR Music do not done n'etaient anymore distribute in France.

On this occasion, NTS we goes out for November 17 2003, the réedition of the four first albums "Symphony X'S" (1994), "The Damnation Game" (1995), "The Divine Wings Of Tragedy" (1997) and "Twilight In Olympus" (1998) under the form of digipacks to limited circulations (1500 copies each) endowed with improved booklets by photos and commentaries « song by song », with in bonus a track CDRom presenting an interviewDivided group in four parties (an on every CD).

 

[Divine Wings Of Tragedy]

shit man this rocks, too bad i own 2 of those albums.

 

[scanner313]

This may sound stupid, but can someone tell me what the hell a "digipak" is?

 

[Jax]

It's true that they'll be doing this, but the French folks totally jumped the gun on announcing it (and MJR was none too happy about that); it's still in the development stages right now, so be patient.

 

[Divine Wings Of Tragedy]

Mjr should loosen up, nothing happened. also cough cough how goes the site??

and why was my question left unanswered(if u remember)

 

[Yngvai X]

Mjr should loosen up, nothing happened.

Look at it this way. You go through all the trouble of planning a suprise party for someone, but they find out you're going to throw it before you're ready to shout "SUPRISE" to them. Sure in the end they still get a party, but wouldn't you be upset that your suprise is ruined?

 

[The Yngster]

Hmmm, those do look pretty cool, but the bonuses would have to be pretty good for me to buy all of them again.

 

[shredmaster]

This is great!!!!!!!!!I`ve only got one of those, so for me it`s a sure purchase!

 

[Demonspell]

I agree, announcing the news ahead of schedule, and while still in the planning stages, is a bit disrespectful to the band and Inside Out. As for whether I'll buy the reissues, that remains to be seen...

 

[ScottG]

Digipaks!? Good thing I own every original SymX CD already.

 

[Connauch]

Any chance these will be out before the Christmas season? Would be perfect chance to pick up all 4 at once!

 

[SilentRealm]

i dont have any of those cd's being re done..so when they come out i will get those instead. The covers look awesome.

 

[Vertigo]

Shit! I better hurry up and buy all the CDs; cause I fucking hate digipacks! This would be worth it for bonus tracks; but there arent going to be right?

 

[Snowmaker]

I already have all but Damnation Game. If there's no bonus tracks or remastering, I'll pass.

 

[The Stormbringer]

If this is (were?) true, I´m afraid I might be forced to buy some of them - depending on the existence or non-existence of swank bonus tracks. Besides, I love liner notes.

 

[Prismatic Sphere]

I'll definitely be buying The Damnation Game.
