It has 13 tracks (most of them long), comes with 2 cds (Normal + whole album instrumental) in a beautiful package and it costs no more than 18-19€ so...
Just mentioning this because I looked it up... that album was also available in SIXTEEN different versions. Granted, most of them are also limited but I think their release is a separate type of deal since they're using the orchestra as part of their studio album which they probably have the budget for as opposed to creating tracks 'on the side' that would not go on a typical original album and instead have a standalone release of their own. Do many artists even have a similar type of release with only orchestral reinterpretations?
