Seotaiji’s 8th album postponed

[-ochre.livejournal.com]

…again, for the second time.

Seotaiji initially set the release date for June 13th before he started his world tour, and then later posted on his homepage that the date was changed to June 25th. Then this past June 23rd, he posted yet another message on his homepage stating that the release date has been postponed to July 1st. What’s the reason behind the postponement? A company representative stated,

Twelve tracks have been sent over to one of the top mastering studios in the U.S., ‘Sterling Studio‘, where the chief engineer, Ted Jensen will work on the tracks.

So basically, Seotaiji wanted to have his tracks tweaked a bit by one of the “best” before it hit the market. This, however, contradicted a statement he made in a previous interview where he stated,

I’ve taken the talent and skills I’ve learned up until this very day, from working with many different overseas staff and produced this eighth album solely using the technology available here in Korea.

Although his fans have been waiting patiently for the release of his album despite the delay, it seems as though they were a little disappointed by him not keeping his word. It also doesn’t really help much that he already disappointed them by continuously pushing back the release date. When his company was asked why the release date was postponed again they simply stated that there was nothing in particular that was going wrong but “we can’t explain anything”.

Why so secretive? Who knows but hopefully his new album, “Seotaiji 8th Atomos”, will actually be released on July 1st this time.

fans should get over it. the best mastering houses are in the states, and because he's sending it away you're going to get the best sounding album you possibly can.

and he hasn't really contradicted what he said earlier. he did PRODUCE the album in korea, using korean technology. producing and mastering are two different things.

Ted Jensen's mastering it? It should be good, then. He mastered Dir en grey's Uroboros.
