While their target player pianos can be repeatedly restored into perpetuity, the rolls cannot. It is important therefore that the content of these rolls be captured in computer form in hopes of extending their life into the foreseeable future. The process of scanning music rolls first generates a very large file, basically containing hundreds of thousands of pixels.

According to The Guardian, Palmer made the official announcement in an e-mail to fans this week and said the cover album would be released sometime in July.
