The design actually makes me think of a hybridization of AKG and neo-Denon designs: The ribbed headband from the one, the concave, compound cup from the other.
Yikes!
Looks like an animal phallus...
Well, I didn't get any of them... mine seem to be a shade lighter than the burgundy, pretty much "blood-red". =(
Hey, I had a listen.
Some really nice stuff... in fact it's the kind of stuff that I think would work really well as film / video score kind of music. It reminds me slightly of Phillip Glass. I particularly liked the ambient sounds in the interlude [moon] track.
Maybe you could suggest putting it on a Creative Commons license to her? There are any number of short films or indie video works that could use this kind of music, and in exchange she'll get exposure.
What has the world come to?
When I got my customs I said "pretty much any warm color aside from red please."
And I got red.
I guess the CIEM spirits who drive their human hosts into ecstatic custom-making frenzies just really favor the color red. It reminds them of the human vitals they so crave....
It's always been this way. We just hear about it more, thanks to information moving at the speed of light.
Edit: Can someone Chinese here confirm if this is correct, I asked for Orange and wrote "橙色", I looked up red in the dictionary and it's "红色" ..?
Kiteki, the above translations are correct. "色" is a modifier meaning color or hue. "橙" means orange, and "红" means red. So, what you're indicating with the phrases above are "orange color" and "red color" respectively.
However, I do feel compelled to mention that the "橙色" (orange color) mentioned above tends to translate into a lighter shade of orange, somewhat like the peel of an unripened or early orange (fruit).
If you're looking for something that is more bold, more akin to a nuclear orange, more like a carrot, you may wish to indicate "橙红色" instead. Literally, it translates as "orange red color". But tonally, it equates to a darker and more intense shade of orange.
