TIMO TOLKKI: "More Bad News"; "Saana" Music Leaked
February 18, 2008, 16 years ago
Guitarist TIMO TOLKKI (STRATOVARIUS) has issued a following update:
"I just received news that at least some of the songs from (new alubm) Saana - Warrior Of Light are available in the torrent sites. We are trying to trace the originator, but it is really difficult. I am afraid that since the thief also has the production master, it might be that pirate copies will start to emerge very soon.If you (hopefully) don't want to support such activities, I would remind you people that the only place where you will get the MP3 album with goodies and the subsequent hard copies, is www.theground.com that will be opened in few weeks.
Now the address takes you to their current page."
Tolkki's previous statement on the matter read: "I was in a photo-session in Helsinki two days ago and while we were taking promotional pictures, someone stole my bag and one guitar, a purple Fender Stratocaster Jeff Beck model. It is priceless.
But what worries me more is that the bag contained a single master and the graphic master of the whole Saana album. I went to the police and filed a report, but they said that it is unlikely I will ever see them again. I just hope this person doesn't realize the contents of the bag.
Unfortunately this will postpone the trailer release and I have to think what I will do now.
This a very bad situation. Very bad..."
Further updates on the new album as more information surfaces. Stay tuned.
