Hey Altar, just got my copy. Noticed something.
There seems to be a discrepancy per your webpage, and what has been uploaded to Discogs. Please have a look:
Discogs: http://www.discogs.com/E-Mantra-Silence/release/3685764
Bandcamp:http://altar.bandcamp.com/album/silence
Tracks 5 & 6 switched around. Even the artwork uploaded to Discogs is different than my copy.
Can you confirm anything? Thanks. |

Actually I haven't updated the images on the Altar web page in time, so ppl got them and have uploaded them on Discogs before I made the changes.
Please either use images and tracklist from http://www.altar-records.com/silence.html, the Bandcamp site or scan the CD cover to make a correct update.
Sorry for the problem

Thanks for the reply. Now how about the Bandcamp release for track #4 being called "Departed" and the CD version being called Departed 2012. |

Beautiful Release, Especially that NightWalker Track.
Keep it coming altar records.

My deluxe eco-digipak arrived, turns out it is a gatefold sleeve, not exactly pictured on site...however thats besides the point as on first listen the music melts away all negativity and will be a top psychill of 2012. The last great album for me was the Alwoods, so viva Altar for keeping the spirit alive. |

So I'll clarify the thing about packaging here: "deluxe" is for extra shiny cover (usually matte) "eco" stands for "gatefold" as it saves the usual plastic tray and lastly "digipack" is about the whole carton-made packaging.
My plant does not make a ply for the spine as featured on the Element serie, unfortunately it's even not an option they offer... otherwise I'd ask for it
In summary I do only 300 copies with this kind of packaging as to save on manufacturing. The usual print for 1000 copies of an album or VA will take much more paper & plastic to craft it all...even if the paper is classified "FSC" ( http://www.fsccanada.org/ ) it's a huge amount of organic material..if more labels would do that we'd save a lot of trees ... and more place in our basements as nowadays selling 1000 CDs takes up to 5 years..or more !
Now Altar is an eco-label so I'm saving the most as I can and try to reduce waste every year more and more. While on your side you can still enjoy artist's production the same way and participate to a better environment.
Please read latest Altar's interview about "what is an eco-label" here:
English: http://bleneraida.wordpress.com/2012/07/11/altar-records-eco-music-label/
Greek: http://bleneraidagr.wordpress.com/2012/07/11/altar-records-eco-music-label/
I think that keeping our old fashioned way to work, not changing our minds, our very bad manners to consume is like keeping fighting for a seat on a plane that is going to crash ! ~ wake up
