It might be that Lexer have one copy of the quantity they were allocated.mrblue wrote: Mon Sep 09, 2019 12:44 pm I'm not sure if this really means anything, but wanted to update the forum:
I pre-ordered the OMD box set this weekend, and I noticed that the page read "6 remaining." Is this box set limited? I never got that impression, and I see it's for sale on Amazon as well.
I checked Lexer again this morning, and it shows "1 remaining." So, you might jump on it if you are reading this! I suspect it's a marketing ploy to urge you to purchase, but passing along just in case

Ooooh, interesting!! Is it all philharmonic-backed? Are there also some synth-only arrangements?mrblue wrote: Mon Sep 09, 2019 4:40 pm .... and it's gone! Now shows as SOLD OUT. It does still seem to be available for pre-order on OMD's site, though about $10 more due to shipping.
Also - as a slightly unrelated side note - I just realized this weekend that Pledge Music has folded! I was surprised to see that, though I don't think any of us will lose a lot of sleep over it. I never had any problems with them though, and luckily all my orders had been fulfilled. In fact, for my last order with them, Pledge sent me an extra copy of the OMD / Best of...Philharmonic 2CD set by accident. No idea why. Anyone interested? The 2nd copy is still sealed.

Like many other bands who decide to have their music performed with an orchestra (VNV Nation, Ben Folds, Metallica, etc...), some of the tracks “work” and some not so much. Some tracks just don't merge well with an orchestra, but some sound wonderful (like Maid of Orleans and All That Glitters). I'd say the same is true with World Beyond.
They did 2 nights, each available separately or as a “best of both nights” collection, which is what I got. Here's the Discogs entry:
