Back from Australia, MODEified's Fully Online!

Hi everyone!  After a great trip down under, I am back and tired! While trying to catch up on my sleep I wanted to update the community and again remind everyone that MODEified 7 is fully available now for free download! You can either click and download individual songs or at the bottom of each track listing is a .zip file for each disc with all songs in it for an easy one click download of all the tunes!

Please enjoy!  And please send your thoughts about the album to me here at NCRobino@aol.com for posting on the blog and through Bong.

Coming up next is the new and improved MODEified Forum! Rafi is working hard on this and we can't wait to unveil it!

Lastly, this M7 page will be converted to it's final stage which will be full of band bio's and images, plus links to find them online to check out their other music too!  

Hope everyone is enjoying the new music, please let us know!

M7 ONLINE RELEASE TOMORROW!!!!

The day has finally arrived everyone!!!!

After so much hard work and patience from everyone here in the Depeche Mode community, our long labor of love is complete.  All orders have been shipped and it is time to unveil the tunes and artwork to the rest of the world now!

Friday, August 8th will mark the release of MODEified by 7 & MODEified by 7 Again!!!

At some point in the day, the site www.MODEified.com will point to the new server.  Click on the M7 page and the links for the songs will be LIVE!  There will be links too added so that you can download each disc's songs in one shot for those who want them all in one download.

All links to any MODEified address from www.commline.com will no longer take you to the MODEified site.  Please update your links to use www.MODEified.com .  Thanks.

This is it folks!  Once the album is released, please take time to listen to the discs and post your positive comments and constructive feedback!  Feel free to send full REVIEWS to me here or at NCRobino@aol.com and I will post them to the blog and on BONG. 

The final version of the M7 site will come once I've returned from Australia (leaving on the 13th and won't be back till September 1st!).  The final version will look like the other edition's sites, which will include bio's, graphics and links for all the bands, liner notes...etc.  That update will bring the project to an official close.

Please spread the word that the project is releasing tomorrow everyone!

M7 Single Disc Orders SHIPPED!!!!

Despite a weekend full of busy plans, when the covers arrived Friday I was compelled to fold fold fold them and get some of the M7 orders out!  I spent Friday night into the weee hours packing up all single disc orders!  That means, if you ordered only 1 disc... your order shipped on Saturday morning July 26th! 

It's TRUE!!!

This was the best way to get MODEified by 7 to as many people as fast as possible.  Multiple copy orders require a padded envelope and more complex packing than the single orders.  I plan to tackle these orders packaging and insert folding tonight!  I am going to the Cubs game today here in Chicago, so we'll see how I fare once I get home.  I'll of course post as soon as the final orders are shipped!  Hang in there guys!

Once you get your M7 copy, please post comments to this site, message me here or email me FULL reviews for posting to NCRobino@aol.com and most importantly, let everyone know what you think and give the artists the praise they deserve!  Spread the word around, this is one of the best DM Tribute's ever put together!

Take care everyone!  So glad to finally be wrapping!  Hopefully the official online release will occur in the next week or two, bringing the M7 project to a close.

M7 Printer Error Delays Shipping

I wanted to drop a quick note and let you know... I got the covers
last week all fine and dandy.. only to open them up and see... near
perfection.  The foldout portion of the sleeves were printed upside
down on the inside.  There was an original batch of correctly printed
ones that were lost in the mail, this was the second batch.

The original shipment arrived back to the printshop, so I sent a
prepaid FedEx slip to have those shipped again via FedEx instead of the
USPS this time and get them this week.

If all goes well, I hope too get these and ship on next Monday.

Here's hoping!  Sorry for the delay, but even though its cool to have
variants.... when they all are variants, it just means they were done
wrong!

Take care everyone, keep ya posted.  shipping soon!

Rob

PS. This was NOT Micah's fault as he oversaw the first printing which
was right, but delegating the second run to someone as he was too busy
to do the second run himself in the timeline I was asking.  Thankfully,
his original run is found and in route .... again.

M7 Monster Update!

Well, the good news is that I had extra time this week to get the discs done.  The bad news is that the time off work came because I was bedridden sick with strep throat.  It's true, I don't know why in some people strep causes a sore throat and for me, it's as bad as the flu.

Needless to say, I haven't left the house since Sunday.  I was however able to get all of the discs burnt for shipping!  Corrugated shipping sleeves arrived last week!  Jewel cases arrived two weeks ago!  We are all set!  I am even going to start addressing the boxes today for shipping so that when I get to the PO Box for the inserts next all I have to do is throw the inserts in the cases and ship away! 

I've officially put all of M7 on my iPod and I can honestly say, it rocks in the car, it rocks on my headphones and it kicks on my home stereo fo' sho'!  I am SOOOO EXCITED to FINALLY be so close to shipping these bad boys and getting some feedback from everyone on the look and sound of what I believe to be one of the best DM Tribute albums EVER MADE! 

Given the July 4th holiday here in the States this weekend, I hope to have these all shipped immediately after. 

My co-producer, Rafi Kharman, has been working hard on the website side of things too!  Together we've come up with a new permanent home for the MODEified projects.  It's no secret that the MODEified projects have become very popular and well known over the years.  This popularity has caused a significant drain on the commline.com server that houses the BONG Mailing List and the MODEified pages.  This drain has come in the form of space, traffic and most importantly .. charges for through the roof downloads of the previous 6 editions of MODEified lately.  It was no longer fair for us to burden Brian, the commline owner, with the bandwith and financial needs of MODEified.

Therefore, Rafi and I have invested our time and money into creating www.MODEified.com , the new official home for MODEified.  The transition in theory will mostly go unnoticed by the user.  Same pages, same ease of downloads, etc.  Just a different, simpler and more logical url address.  Of course, the old address will point you to the pages on the new server too, just in case some people don't get the news. 

The official move will not happen until the official online release of M7.  This is quite deliberate and we've worked feverishly to ensure the new release is done on the new server so that it can handle the traffic with ease and everyone can get their M7 fix easy and free as it has always intended to be!!!  Many thanks to Rafi for all his help!

Cheers to everyone!  Many of you are already asking about an M8!!! It's crazy!  Some other guy contacted me for advice about starting a punk version of a fan DM Tribute!  The interest for DM fan based tributes seems to be at an all time high, and WE are the pioneers folks!  Something to be proud of!  That said, please.... hold the M8 talk till I get this one out :-)!  It will come in due time:-)

When the first lucky few of you get your discs, you OWE us all some reviews!  Discs will arrive in mailboxes BEFORE the online release as it is tradition.  Post comments, post reviews to bong and send them directly to me at NCRobino@aol.com so that I can post them.  The artists really and truly put a shitload of work into their songs and they deserve to get some praise and feedback on their masterpieces!

I know this was a long one, but we've got a lot going on in the world of MODEified lately and little time to share it all!  I will update again come M7's ship date!

Until then, thanks for the support... as always!
