The Schramm DVD wasn't let loose this week as scheduled. It has been pushed back another month to March 13. No real problems to report; it's just taking a bit longer than expected to complete the compression / authoring. This is largely to due with the facility's heavy workload, which necessitated a push back in the delivery dates of after-holiday projects like Schramm. And the amount of extras on the disc isn't helping to speed things up! But rest easy. The compression is complete. The final task of authoring the elements together should be wrapped up by the 16th of February. Following the DVD-r approval, the DLT will be shipped off to the manufacturing plant for mastering and replication. That will take around two weeks, if things run smoothly. So hang on a bit more. The disc is shaping up to be a worthy successor to our Nekromantik DVD, and will be well worth the wait!

Also, we've added some Schramm menu stills for your viewing pleasure. Keep in mind that the main menu will be animated with music...

The Nekromantik DVDs are sold out, but another pressing is on the way. The next pressing will most likely have a black Amaray box, unlike the first pressing's red box (although we were a bit amused over the "sealed" Nekromantik auctioned on Ebay in a black Amaray box...must be a real collector's item!). However, we do still have around 50 signed Nekros left, if anyone is interested in grabbing them. They are going for $43 priority postage paid; just email us for ordering info. Jörg will not be signing any of the Schramm DVDs for us, so these are one of a kind.

We're going to announce some upcoming projects very soon, so stay tuned to the Barrel for further news.

Until next time,
