STRATOVARIUS: ediciones especiales de “Elements Pt. 1 & 2”“Elements Pt. 1 & 2” sera reeditado por earMUSIC y saldrá a la venta el 5 de diciembre de 2014.
Jens Johansson explica: "La idea de esta reedición gira alrededor dela mezcla envolvente (5.1) del álbum. Yo había oído algunas pistas de éstas en algún momento y estaba completamente impresionado. Pero nunca fueron lanzadas. Así que, finalmente, estas mezclas surround estarán disponibles".

“Elements Pt. 1 & 2” will be released on December 5th 2014 on earMUSIC.
Jens Johansson explains: “The idea for this 2014 reissue revolves much around the surround (5.1) mixes of the album. I had heard a few tracks from these at some point and was completely blown away. But they were never released. So finally, these quite wonderful audiophile 5.1 surround mixes are available.”
“Elements Pt. 1 & 2” is going to be released as 3CD+DVD digi-pak, limited to 10.000 copies worldwide, as well as limited to 3.000 copies worldwide box set.
The releases feature both original albums, a bonus CD including unreleased and rare songs like B-Sides or live versions from the 2003 Elements tour and a DVD. For the first time in the band’s history, the DVD features the 5.1 mix of both albums, rare bonus songs as well as a photo gallery.
The box set includes the high quality 3CD+DVD digi-pak, a cassette including previously unreleased demo songs which are only available on this format and will not be made available anywhere else, an “Elements” tour T-shirt as well as a reproduction of the original tour program. As a special bonus, the band has conquered their private archives for rare and never before seen picture material – so get ready for some fun shoots from behind the scenes of the album recording sessions as well as juicy material from the tour.
