Yup, it's slowly creeping ever further into Chinese Democracy territory, haha.

There's so much hype around it now that however good it is when it finally gets released it will inevitably be a disappointment for most people. Not for me of course because I think the self-titled one is a bit on the dull side anyway

Its not Jari's fault, technology is just not able to keep up with him
QUOTEThere has come again unexpected problems with technology, which will make finishing the "Time" album even more harder than it has been.
QUOTEWe didn´t predicted how much problems this would bring us more. This is the first time when we work like this and were very too "green" understanding, what it takes from the computer to handle hundreds of audio and midi tracks. For fast and efficient composing of the orchestrations you need lots of horsepower from the computer. It´s a must have to get as many VST instruments running realtime as possible. And for this you need lots of RAM, but there´s a 4GB limit in 32bit apps, so this has been really painful for Jari. So we are hoping that the change to 64bit era will happen soon, which will put an end to this RAM limit misery.

am much as i liked the first album, im sure ill like the second one, but im not in a hurry, Jari isnt delaying because he doesnt think the songs sound like they should or anything like that, studio problems happen with pretty much every band, they just happen to happen alot with Jari, haha

"My computer doesn't have enough RAM" is such a Spinal Tap excuse
