Hi!

It contains exclusive tracks by all the SOPA artists as well as loads of other music by a wide range of other musicians. An exciting mix of genres, ideas and personalities. The music has it's origin in 10 countries: Denmark, Germany, Italy, Holland, USA, Canada, France, Belgium, Sicily and Bosnia. 100 copies will be made for sale.
The cd is in the printing process right now and the website for the compilation is juuust about finished. But you can already listen to some of the tracks and see the full tracklist at www.sopa.dk/sopadeliciosa . There's a YouTube video preview there with sound and pictures. Enjoy!

We hope to maybe do a release party in Copenhagen in December. So stay tuned for more info on that one. Of course you're invited! :-)

But that's not all we got going on right now! Another cd is coming out on SOPA. "Eponymous" by 9 is released too. To begin with 9 (a.k.a. Marco Brosolo) takes a bit of a different route with this one. A rather special cd launch. 9 unique versions of "Eponymous" will be auctioned off at eBay at a fixed "But it now" price of 1 cent (euro) starting December 9th. What you get is a concert with 9 at the location of your choosing as well as a unique live recording of the show on cd with new artwork done by the cover artist Alvise Bittente during the show. More info on this exciting launch very soon at the 9 website: www.9-9.it .

The album is a fine collection of 9's socalled "digital campfire songs". Sparse, soothing and catchy electronic arrangements with a pop twist, guitar and Marco Brosolo's distinctive sung/spoken vocals. At some point a regular cd version of studio recordings will be available for sale through the SOPA website. But first - on December 9th - fun things are gonna happen! Another newsletter will land in your mailbox when the times comes.
