Red October – Apologies

Hello everyone,

I have a couple of apologies regarding our 8GB record release RED OCTOBER. They are as follow:

Number one: we apologize on the delay of any order done to Retinascan prior to February. It had a big deal to do with us not being able to deliver the cover art in time for the desired release date. It was, to our defense, to ensure the cover art’s design quality, which we are very happy with. Please do not hate Retinascan for taking so long, it’s all our fault! Sorry.

Number two: we don’t have any copies of the album itself but some people have contacted us regarding it since they received their orders. I asked one of them to send me some pics of the release, and here’s the result:


(thanks Lazerbeat for providing these)

Suffice to say, it is not our intention that it would look like this, specially the booklet, which it is to be as red as the rest of the cover. Click here to see how we designed it and how it should look

Also we notice scrubbing on the edges of the cover, even after this being new. We also had complaints about packaging and releases arriving crushed.
We are deeply sorry for this. If you feel like it, feel free to shoot us an email and we’ll try make it up for you. Even if it surpasses our responsibility, we deem it necessary to deliver a quality product. 8gb \in/ kikencorp \dot/ com is the address for that.

Also, some people haven’t found yet the bonus online track available for download at the Retinascan site. Here’s the link to it:

8GB – East 105 St. (50hz’s Get Ready remix)

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

Good news is we’re planning to make a “remastered” version of this release, as in packaging remastering :P . Anyone with a copy bought from Retinascan will receive a free copy of the remastered version (easy ‘proof’ provided beforehand) so feel free to keep on ordering at the Retinascan shop.

Any words about the release will be truly apreciated. Hit us up on mail or here. if we don’t hear from you, positively or negatively, we will never understand the reach of the release, what has worked and what hasn’t.

There’s also that FREE AND TASTY 8GB release up on 8bitpeoples. Did you get it yet?

Thanks a bunch!
