Insomnium - Winter's Gate 2CD artbook

I was really considering buying this from Levykauppa Äx the other day on my lunch break, but decided to give a pass, because it was €42.95. I'd like to get the artbook version too, but not at that price.

I thought this version might end up being one of those that you end up finding later for much cheaper because it's so expensive but seems like Levykauppa Äx is almost out of copies already. 3 available when it was way over 10 on sunday I think. Friend who works at Äx told me a funny tidbit about that edition yesterday. They had actually thought it was the same size as your normal big digibooks so they were quite surprised when 80 copies of that huge book arrived. Weren't prepared for it.

Anyway, I just listened to Winter's Gate reading the novel and lyrics at the same time. Cool experience. Lyrics were a bit ahead all the time so it was interesting catching up with the story. First time I read the lyrics. Music and story went really evenly as well as it took me only like a minute finishing the story after music had ended.
