Calibrations Collector’s Edition Sold Out, Regular Edition Now Available

Posted on 2018-03-30 Written by D. Lee Jackson Leave a Comment

Small CD FrontIn a huge surprise to both my wife and myself, the $50 signed and numbered Collector’s Edition of Calibrations sold out in less than five days! Everyone’s copy is already in the mail, save for the last copy which will go out tomorrow. Thank you very much to everyone who purchased a disc!

If $50 was a bit steep for you, the regular unsigned, un-numbered version, still in its shrink wrap, is now available from CD Baby for $12.99! You can buy it or the digital version from the link on the left side of this text.

The MP3/digital version of the album has already been pre-selling at Amazon, iTunes, Spotify, and other services. Well, now, those locations are actually starting to deliver! A copy of the MP3 album is going for a suggested retail price of $9.99.

Please support your local MIDIslinger and buy a copy today!

Calibrations Collector’s Edition CDs Available

Posted on 2018-03-27 Written by D. Lee Jackson Leave a Comment

Calibrations Collector's Editions CDsDue to a miscommunication in ordering, I wound up with some of the Calibrations CDs being shipped to me instead of where they needed to go.  I have taken ten of those CDs and made Collector’s Editions out of them. Ten were made available, with each one signed and numbered. There is also space on each for a short personal message if you want one.

The discs actually went on sale yesterday at eBay at this link. However, at this writing, six of them have already sold, leaving only four available. People from as far away as Germany and Australia have ordered. It’s been a huge surprise!

If you would like a copy for yourself, please act fast! Only four are left, and after they’re gone, that’s it: no more Collector’s Edition discs will ever be printed.

EDIT: As of approximately 4:30 p.m. CDT Wednesday, only one CD is left! Nab it before someone else does!

My Debut Solo CD’s Release Date Is Out

Posted on 2018-03-21 Written by D. Lee Jackson 3 Comments

Small CD FrontCalibrations has a release date! The album will be released on Friday, March 30th, in both CD and digital formats. The digital format will be made available through Amazon, iTunes, Spotify, and many other sites for a suggested retail price of $9.99. The CD will be available from the CD Baby Store for $12.99.

ADDITIONAL: The digital version is already available for pre-order from Amazon!

For those of you who tuned in to The Cyber Den on Siren Radio to hear Jake “The Voice” Parr announce the release date at 10:00 a.m. BST, my apologies—they were experiencing technical difficulties during the first hour and weren’t able to get the announcement in until the second hour of the show. However, next Wednesday (March 28th), Jake will be back on the air at the same time to play sneak previews of two of the tracks from the album. Remember, that time is 10am GMT, 5am EDT, 4am CDT, 3am MDT, 2am PDT, and for Australian listeners, 9pm AEDT.

Due to a misunderstanding in the original ordering process, I have ten discs in my possession instead of in the warehouse. Instead of letting them gather dust, I’m going to offer these ten as signed, numbered copies with brief messages of thanks for $50 each. I’ll never have any more signed and numbered CDs made available. Once these ten are gone, that’s it.

The sale will most likely take place beginning on Monday on eBay. I’ll have a link posted here that will guide you to the sale.

Thank you!

The CD Secret is Out

Posted on 2018-03-14 Written by D. Lee Jackson Leave a Comment

Small CD FrontAfter long months of coordination with artists (who finally wound up in Texas, not Denmark), and after a lot of anxiety over whether or not I was going to be able to pull this off at all, the deed is finally done. Calibrations, my very first solo album, is in the processing phase.

The album will consist of twelve tracks of music and two tracks of spoken word, created with the help of voice artist and now good friend Jake “The Voice” Parr. This very talented Brit conducted an overseas interview of me for one track (take it or leave it – my interview talents are questionable) and helped me read the liner notes and track list (for those purchasing the MP3 version).

Nine of the music tracks are taken from the songs I wrote for Duke Nukem 3D: 20th Anniversary World Tour, episode five (Alien World Order) a couple of years ago. If, for some obscene reason, you haven’t played the game yet, here’s your chance to hear the music from it. All tracks have been looped and fully remastered for outside-of-game listening.

The three new songs are going to have to remain a bit of a mystery for now. Let me just say that there’s something old, something new, and something a developer didn’t want me to do. None have been heard by the public before: for that matter, none of them have been completed before. One even had its beginnings as a failed test in 1996 or thereabouts. Believe me when I say it didn’t fail any tests this time.

There will be a digital and a physical release. Disc Makers is handling the creation of the physical discs, but I believe you’ll have to go to the CD Baby Store if you want to buy one. The digital versions will be available almost everywhere, though—iTunes, Amazon, you name it.

The release date? Hopefully that’ll be before the end of March, although I can make no guarantees. Watch this space for updates.

Finally, here is a larger version of the cover art, produced by the talented Allison Sheeler.
