On his facebook this morning:

[quote] As a follow-up to last years critically acclaimed [I]The Masters Series[/I], James Zabiela and Renaissance have joined forces again to develop a very exciting, new concept to release James’ forthcoming sequel album, [I]The Masters Series[/I]. The compilation will be given away for FREE at all James’ headlining club shows, beginning 12 March 2010.

The album will be presented in a shrink-wrapped, full-colour wallet on a flexi-DVD that’s both eco-friendly and lightweight. Alongside the two mixes that comprise the compilation, the free album will also feature exclusive videos as well as other digital content! Don’t worry if you can’t make it to a show in 2010, the album will also be released in the traditional CD and digital formats on 6th April. Check out the first tour dates on the Events tab and stay tuned to [URL="http://www.facebook.com/note_redirect.php?note_id=295701151053&h=77bfd0998de6af773d31608239f2e574&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.jameszabiela.com"]JamesZabiela.com[/URL] for more to be announced…[/quote]

Re: New Zabiela Masters CD

either way - great news!

Re: New Zabiela Masters CD

[QUOTE=Dhar_2;829031]i want one! :twisted:[/QUOTE]

Double ditto!

Any digital content from Zabs is terrific.

Re: New Zabiela Masters CD

Got to get my hands on this!

Re: New Zabiela Masters CD

Cool idea !

Wonder where the headlining shows will be .. pity this didn't fit in with WHP where he semi-headlined !

Re: New Zabiela Masters CD

I would like one too! Holy...what a tour schedule. It looks exhausting.

Re: New Zabiela Masters CD

Means another tour of the states soon to follow hopefully.

Re: New Zabiela Masters CD

Sounds like its going to be good [QUOTE=] James comments “A bit like my previous Masters Series this mix is another snapshot into life through my ears. Rather than make 2 distinct journeys (one home listening and one club) I tried to carry the theme of 'life' over the span of both mixes, this time blurring them together, making for a single soundscape. The fact we're going to be distributing this mix in a unique way alongside traditional methods also makes this project all the more exciting for me to put together.”

The compilation will also be released “traditionally” on April 12th, in CD and digital formats.

On James' MySpace site April 10 is listed for Cocoon club in Frankfurt where I plan to be. The gig is also announced on the Cocoon website for April 10...dunno how actual these tour dates still are. He is supposed to play in Cocoon with Darren Emmerson, Chris Lake and Ralph Lawson. How cool is that. :RockOn:

Re: New Zabiela Masters CD

^^How is Cocoon? Heard the sound is massive

Re: New Zabiela Masters CD

It is. Not as good as a Phazon but not that much away from it. The sound is clear and crisp and the next day you don't have ringing ears.

Re: New Zabiela Masters CD

Nice would Love to go some time.

Re: New Zabiela Masters CD

how far is frankfurt from Vienna?
