    Haha no worries lads, I'm a stickler for proper grammar/spelling myself so it even irks me slightly. I just thought it fit better.

    I'll put together one with the capital D also and sure people can decide which they prefer. I just watched a test disc of it there earlier, it turned out way beyond my expectations :D.

    im getting quite excited for this now :D i feel like im part of a secret club lol

    Just fired out a quick email there with updated artwork. Revamped the back and added a capital D!

    Had a quick look and spotted a couple of spelling errors, but I'm sure you've already fixed them :)

    gud should be gut in "du riechst so gut"

    buck dich should be bück dich

    But I'm no expert. Maybe someone else could have a look too?


  • Registered Users Posts: 19,854 ✭✭✭✭MetzgerMeister


    Well spotted unkel!! Had a look myself...

    Wollt Ihr Das Bett in Flammen Sehen - from the pic it looks like WolltIhr

    Du Riechst So Gut

    Bück Dich - to get the ü, hold down Alt button and type 129 on the keypad

    Ich Will - not ich weill - that translates as I becauseL :P

    I sure did. I just rushed those as a mock up to get an idea of what it looks like. All have been corrected now!

    One other thing was the missing umlaut over the "u" in Buck Dich. Due to the font used I can't get that sorted without it throwing the whole thing off. I can look into using another font though to correct it? That will delay things slightly though.

    The capital D was a fairly divisive issue so there are now two versions depending on which you prefer :D

    I'll have an email out before 11 hopefully with more info and pictures. Just building the menu and burning the first full one now. Will add disc art also.

    If you use the Reise Reise font HERE you can have the umlaut without throwing anything off ;)

    Brilliant, I'll swap that in and see how it looks. Should be fine though.

    We'll try and be patient. It'll be worth it to get it right!

    It definitely will, took ages to compile and edit it all so would be a shame for a spelling error to bring it all down :p

    Illustrator doesn't seem to like umlauts so I'll try and find a work around for it.

    Try downloading MediaFace 1.2

    It's ancient but I still use it and love it!


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,927 ✭✭✭Cherry_Cola


    I'll give that a go if all else fails and see how I get on. Sending out an email in the next few minutes with new pictures/details.


  • Registered Users Posts: 19,854 ✭✭✭✭MetzgerMeister


    Or you could make each copy special and do the umlaut with a marker :pac:

    Or use an image editor to manually put it in using paintbrush or something similar?

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    That did cross my mind :pac:

    It's just a problem as I was going to use the same font on the dvd menu itself so will have to find an alternative for that now. Should be fine though, I reckon I'll go with the Volkerball font on that.

    Whatever you do, don't use the sehnsucht font :eek: lol


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,927 ✭✭✭Cherry_Cola


    Oh that looks horrible. I might sneak in a limited edition Sensucht version for someone!

    Ok so I've just sent of a fairly lengthy email with more details and updates and pics. It should be all sorted and finished by tomorrow afternoon. Just have to compile a menu and do some testing and tweek the artwork slightly.

    It feels like a thesis :pac:

    I know man the darkness it kills my eyes.

    Was only listening to that album this morning it really is brilliant; I actually wouldn't have minded hearing a few more tunes from that in Dublin!

    Anyways, does someone have the show for download or some such tomfoolery?


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,927 ✭✭✭Cherry_Cola


    Pm'd ya there DrumSteve.

    Good news is that it's finally finished, umlauts and all! Will send out an email in the next half hour with pictures/screenshots of the full thing.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,927 ✭✭✭Cherry_Cola


    Sorry for the double post but an email has been sent out to everyone who inquired about the dvd.

    If you didn't get one, pm me here for details.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,345 ✭✭✭Somnus

    Thanks very much, I just wanted to keep it nice and simple. It's printed on really good paper too so it looks well.

    I've PM'd you there Optimus.

    Guess what I've just seen this morning :cool:

    Everybody experience it again for themselves
    but Engel shows the crowd can be really pleased with themselves and Du Hast is unbelievable

    Many, many thanks to Cherry_Cola!

    You're very welcome.

    I've finally caught up on the production side of things so if anyone wants to order, it'll be in the post asap.

    I have to say I'm very impressed with the packaging and layout, though I'm torn between getting the DVD or the CD (as at least I'll be able to listen to it out and about!)
