Had a system failure in the home studio. The harddisc with all of the new album plus a few other projects fell into a deep coma! Unable to wake up the piece of hardware, it slowly dawned on me, that the back-up I had was several generations old - yes, I have not been as careful as I ought to be - thus making what I now had an album consisting of cuemixes, way below par, and not worthy of release in any form.
Fortunately, my brother had no problem in keeping calm, and phoned the harddisc manufacturer. When he finally got an engineer on the phone, we were asked to send the disc to Holland, as the disc was simply a malfunctioning series.
A few weeks went by with data recovery at their expence, before the disc was sent back to me.
Unfortunately the currier was not able to deliver it for days, as they did not understand the simple request of adress change. On the third day of delivery to a wrong adress, my wife descided to pick it up for me and hence avoiding me making a scene...
The album is back, and it's in good shape...
Now backing up!

 

The currier who could not figure out where to deliver the parcel

Hooray! They've send me foam!

Oh, there's something inside...

It's my harddisc! Weeeee!!!
