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
