I have been listening to the recordings and its amazing on how good this sounds.   Eli arranged for Julia Ecklar to work with the same team that did Divine Intervention and this album's quality is amazing!!!!

It is worth it!!!!!

Also, Eli mentioned that this filk album went about $15k over budget, so I do encourage purchasing what you can afford of the extras.   There is a bonus download available, with a lot of recordings about the making of the album and some songs with only Julia singing without the backing music (460mb of mp3s!) and a signed copy, too!

I got a response from Eli via email and he mentioned the following (posted with permission) -

I should add:
Michael Moricz indeed returned to produce the new album (without which it would certainly be anything like what it became), but the team actually is quite different. While the 1986 Divine Intervention aspired to create the sound of a professional orchestra on a shoestring budget (mostly using talented music students with a few star symphony players), this album largely pulled in the cream of Pittsburgh's orchestral players - William Caballero, Andrew Reamer, etc.

We also replaced the engineer from DI (who has since moved into video production) with an amazing engineer whose work has 6 Grammy awards, an Emmy award, and I think another 4 Grammy nominations. This is, unfortunately, the reason why we also went $15,000 over budget, since we didn't get any price break when the mixing went waaaay overbudget and we were essentially locked into his studio once we'd started.
