2V1G launched

So they've finally got around to launch this much-awaited album. Unlike the other albums that Roger has worked on before, this album was produced and mastered in KL and Hong Kong (away from Rog's recording studio in Kota Kinabalu) so we've not heard it since the recording.

A few days before the launch, Leslie (Loh, one of the two album's producers) sent a copy to Roger who was mighty pleased because he said this is a "virgin press" and is deemed to be most valuable because of its alleged superior sound quality. (I'm thinking, uh? Me no audiophiley)

Anyway, Roger's really happy with the album; he played it at home, in the car, in the office, at his in-law's...

When the album was launched on July 18, I thought they picked a very suitable location for it. Somewhere in Central Market, is where I'm told it was launched. Check out the backdrop at the press conference held to launch the album. Plus pwetty chandelier... Nice. See picture with everyone seated at table? From left to right: Leslie, Roger, Winnie, Regine & Chow Kam Leong.

This album shows Roger in a whole new light. Even to me. I mean, have you seen the promo shots they made for the album?! It's Roger dancing! I kid you not. Actually, it's all three artistes jumping around before the lens but the pictures are refreshing. To say the least.

And then, Roger sent out an email in June about 1 million words long - ok, so it was less than a million but it's longer than any of the past emails he's sent out to his mailing list! - announcing the album's release. For a man of a few words (Roger's not the chatty kind of person), that SHORE was a long, looooong email.

Definitely get a copy of this album if you're an audiophile. If you're a Roger Wang fan,... I say, how come you've not got a copy yet? Tell people about it.
