Borknagar: For the Elements (1996-2006)

[Defiance]

https://www.cmdistro.com/index.aspx?IdItem=27780

Over 76 minutes of remastered music from Norway's Borknagar featuring 15 cuts from all 7 of their albums on Century Media, including their out of print debut. The pedigree and alumni of this band reads like a Scandanavian Hall Of Fame and shows how important a band like Borknagar are. (2008) Track Listing: Dauden / The Eye Of Oden / The Dawn of the End / Oceans Rise / Universal / Ad Noctum / Presence Is Ominous / Colossus / The Genuine Pulse / Gods of my World / Inherit the Earth / Future Reminiscence / Origin / White / The Human Nature


NICE! I guess this will help us with the waiting for the new album .

[Agah]

I'm really exited for this, but I'm a bit sceptical, since "Best of" albums seem to be an easy way to make money, but at least its remastered. Really looking forward to hearing Presence and Colossus.

[Defiance]

^ yeah!

The type of production Quintessence has gives you an awesome feeling, so I wonder if that'll change.

Anyway, it's definitely worth the buy, I'll get the European ver. (if there's one, which is probably the case), since the US ver. is quite cheap (only $8 O.O). Hope the price will stay cheap with European ver. though .

I wonder how much the band actually did on this. Maybe it was something CM did just to sell some more Borknagar CDs before the contract runs out.

Also, the logo has gotten some extra lines.

[Defiance]

^ True, I didn't notice the extra lines at first (too excited I was friends). It looks really good, albeit a bit over-saturated.

I wonder if the band had anything to do with this change in the logo.... Maybe Tyr can answer this please?

It's definitely a small cash-in from CM, but I'm not really complaining . I would really like a ltd. edition or something similar though .

wow this came a little unexpected, apparently it's out already!
so, where can you buy this if you're not from North America?

[FUBAR]

Hmm seems like a bit of an odd release for the band. Oh well its cheap. I wonder if the tracks will sound much different.

[Kazaum]

Haha the style of the cover doesn't really look like a Borknagar cover. It seems like CM are trying to take one last dig at Borknagar
The songs on it are probably a decent introduction to the band, which is pretty cool. I have all the albums already so I probably won't be buying this.

I think the only option will be e-bay or amazon. The problem with the CM Distro Store is that they don't ship to forwarding addresses (which is what I have in order to get my cds), so I can't get it either. I guess I'll have to order it through a store.

They do; however, have an e-bay store.

It's not really that good, they don't have much stuff, but well I guess we can pressure them to put Bork's cd(s) over there.

Hope this helps .

While you are entitled to having your opinions about our band, I would prefer if you found a more constructive way to express them here on our official forum, rather to come off as bashing the band, I am confident you are able to do that.

I don't have any Borknagar CD's yet, so I may get this.
