** GET THE ORIGINAL ALBION FOR THE LAST TIME AT NEARLY A 60% DISCOUNT **

Yes, it’s true. After countless plaudits and awards and years of offering many their first steps on their Spitfire journey, it is time to retire the jewel in the Spitfire crown. Albion was the first in a series of products from Spitfire package together everything needed to create contemporary sounding film music.

Over the years, Albion has made its way into many A-listers hearts as an awesome sketch pad for blockbuster movies, her many curios gracing contemporary award-winning movie soundtracks. She has underscored countless AAA games, and continually ensures that there is rarely an evening in front of the television where her beautifully recorded-to-tape tones won’t grace your airwaves. Not to mention the odd surprise appearance on hit records that have decided to go ‘widescreen’! For these reasons, and many more, we consider Albion to be a modern classic in sample-ware.

When released in 2011 it garnered universal praise as a game changer not only for her quality of sound and tools specially curated by Spitfire's team of award winning composers & producers, but also for her extraordinary bold price point. It quickly found its way into the palettes and hearts of music makers the world over from award winning power users to students stepping out into their careers as successful media composers.

So it is with heavy hearts and a proud tear in our eye that we must now put her out to pasture. We will naturally continue to support a product we're truly proud of. This will include any new feature discoveries we may make along the way (Albion was recently upgraded to be hosted by our new BML codebase).

Therefore, this will be your last chance to buy the original Albion, and we hope that offering it to you at the price of £149 (RRP £349 - OR AROUND $230 from $540 IN US DOLLARS!) is a compelling incentive for you to join this adoring club. More importantly, we hope she provides you with many more years of happiness.

Any thoughts on if this is a good purchase?

I had been looking at getting into the Albion series beginning with volume 1, and now its going to be discontinued... So is this a moment of good fortune, or a is it better to wait for what comes next?

My thinking:

-The product has received rave reviews and are used by pros
-If there is going to be a new product, there is a propability that former customers get an upgrade offer
-For those not owning Kontakt, this will work in the Player
-Which also means it can be used to get $100 off Kontakt crossgrade pricing, for those looking to get the full version of that.
