Guest perro andaluz Posted May 7, 2004 Posted May 7, 2004 Need some help here!! I just got my hands on this classic CD, but I'm not sure if I got ripped-off. The CD itself is original, no doubt there, but the booklet looks kind of suspicious because the inside is completely blank and I have never seen a blank booklet, so I wonder if it's just a good color copy. Is it supposed to be like this?? Quote
Guest antic Posted May 8, 2004 Posted May 8, 2004 well, you've been ripped off inside the original booklet there is a two-page text in which Billy explains what he wanted to achieve in every track and tells a story behind it. there are also the usual thanx and greetings from him and the label.... ...sorry... Quote
DeathPosture Posted May 8, 2004 Posted May 8, 2004 Well, my copy is a digipack... So no booklet at all... But yours have no text at all? Bummer... DeathPosture Quote
Guest antic Posted May 8, 2004 Posted May 8, 2004 wow Deathposture! there where digipack versions of this one?!? when you bought it and from where? I'd like to have it in digipack, because other 3 Cosmosis' CDs I have are... Quote
Guest Psykick Posted May 8, 2004 Posted May 8, 2004 You mean you got Cosmology in digipack ?!?! Quote
DeathPosture Posted May 8, 2004 Posted May 8, 2004 Yeah, mine's a digipack... Bought it in a local store back when it was released... DeathPosture Quote
Guest perro andaluz Posted May 9, 2004 Posted May 9, 2004 Yeah, no liner notes, no nothing, just a cheap color copy, at least the CD is original. And I thought GEMM was reliable Quote
Guest antic Posted May 9, 2004 Posted May 9, 2004 I think Transient was putting the first release of Bill's albums in digipacks, while all the other, later re-prints (mostly made be EFA) were in standard jewel-case. BTW. Anybody got some news about Cosmosis' 5th album? It's been two years since Contact and he is releasing new stuff every two years (1996 - Cosmology, 1998 - Synergy, 2000 - Intergalactic, 2002 - Contact). I heard from a guy close to Transient Rec. that Billy now lives in Spain and had (2 months ago) just one more track to finish new album. It's supposed to be released on his own new label, not on Transient though... Quote
Guest cubensis Posted May 9, 2004 Posted May 9, 2004 Are you sure it isn't a promo copy? I have one of these, and the inside of the booklet is blank. On my copy the word "Cosmosis" is off-center on the front cover, and on the back cover it says "Not for sale. Promotional use only" at the bottom, in fine print. Quote
khogg Posted May 10, 2004 Posted May 10, 2004 Yes, I have had both the early release and a later release. The early one was digipack, and the later one was in a rather budget jewel case. However, the inside of the booklet in the jewel case still has all that writing about the tracks! Quote
Guest Kristian Posted May 10, 2004 Posted May 10, 2004 I stopped listening to Cosmosis after Synergy and did almost not even remember that he released Contact.. Cosmology and Synergy is two of the best records ever made, after that..... Hope he will get back to his originalstyle if he's about to release another album. Quote
Guest olli Posted May 10, 2004 Posted May 10, 2004 "I stopped listening to Cosmosis after Synergy and did almost not even remember that he released Contact..

Only 2 first cd's are good and maybe Cosmology being a bit better... Quote
khogg Posted May 10, 2004 Posted May 10, 2004 His later albums have a few good tracks on each but not as solidly good as the first two. I would say Synergy is the best of all. All have cool artwork though! Quote
Guest Nicolasnickleby Posted May 12, 2004 Posted May 12, 2004 Synergy is unbeatle when it comes to old-school goa. I have this LP in my archives. Old school goa LP's hae the best artwork too and This one is a phenom. Quote
Guest dk Posted May 17, 2004 Posted May 17, 2004 >antic yes, he has been workin on next album. he told me he still had to work on some tracks. but its almost done i guess. also it will be out from his own label as you wrote. give him some more time Quote
