The Bass Communion Pacific Codex CD+DVD-Audio box set was officially released on 11th February 2008 ...
... it was officially sold out on 13th February 2008.
I was somewhat taken aback by the incredible response to this release. In short it's been non-stop here: furiously collating, wrapping, labeling and packing copies ready for shipping (many have gone out already - the remainder will go out this week as I am currently waiting on some essential shipping supplies).
I am essentially on my own here (with a little help from my cat Ralphie, who insists on sitting exactly where you are working and don't want him to be ...) which means it takes a little longer to get things sorted. So a big thank you to all those who helped make this a success.
Note: I had to refund a number of people their money as they had already ordered a copy from Headphone Dust and we had to impose a strict 1-copy-per-customer policy --- as we wanted as many people as possible to get a copy (please, no clever-dicky remarks to the effect "well, why not press-up more" - it's really not as easy as that).
The next Equation (the extra-ordinary audio mayhem that is the LP/7" by TNB+DSM - see previous postings) will be following shortly (end February I hope) but is almost all sold out on pre-orders from distributors alone. I will have some for sale on my site, but not a whole lot and I suspect this one is going to shoot out the door almost as fast as Pacific Codex.

TROUM "Sen" :: SOLD OUT
Many thanks to all of you who made this Troum release such a success. Though it was seriously hard work putting it all together [sticking, folding, colating and more sticking] ... I feel the end result made it all worthwhile and the reaction I have received so far has been overwhelmingly positive. Thanks.
As I write copies some ARE still available at the various distributors listed in my previous blog entry. Without these great partners in crime I'd have to shut-up shop and go do something else instead (like watching telly or some other equally mind-numbing pursuit). FYI :: Clear vinyl copies are still available at Aquarius Records (www.aquariusrecords.org) - although Tesco (Germany) got about 10 copies as well.
NOTE :: I do have a couple of unnumbered promotional copies left (picture disc & tan versions) that I did not have time to send to whoever - so drop me an email if you want one of these (they are complete with inserts and Velcro-fastened sleeve). Same price as the normal version.
As for new releases - well, just like London buses - you wait for ages and nothing happens - then all of a sudden a whole bunch arrives. Same thing here:
I am - right now - furiously trying to get together the Bass Communion "Pacific Codex" CD + DVD-Audio box set in time for a release date of next weekend (about 9th of February '08 - or so, I hope). Check my web site for updates (it's also a good idea to check Steven Wilson's own site too - www.swhq.co.uk). They look amazing and I am shrink-wrapping each and every one using a manual shrink-wrap kit and a heat gun (that's my - admittedly lame - excuse for the delay, and I'm sticking to it).
Finally The New Blockaders + DSM LP/7" set have all arrived at Equation Towers (in large ungainly heavy boxes) - and all I now need to do is compile and number these. I feel a release date nearer the end of February '08 is most likely. The LP sleeve is massively heavy (just superb). just like those old USA vinyl record sleeves from the early 1970's - huge massive slabs of cardboard. Gonna cost a fortune to post though.
I have also received masters for the A P S E LP which I hope to start working on as soon as my own "mini credit-crunch" has passed. I am also waiting for the master for Side D of the forthcoming Aidan Baker 2xLP "Gathering Blue".
Cheers, Bill
