Finally!
This is now out --- but not for long I fear.
Why? Because pre-orders from distributors were overwhelming and I am effectively sold-out, except for the few copies I have for my own modest mail order sales (as of writing this I have no more than 60 copies - split between black and sky blue editions).
The lovely Mottled Peacock Blue vinyl copies are only available via distributors (see list below) - so please support your local distributor and record shop and buy these directly from them.
(Some of these were given some limited Sky Blue copies - not sure who exactly).
Because I have to sell these limited edition copies on a first-come first served basis and I must reserve the right to limit the numbers sold to each person to prevent future eBay gouging.
I am deeply proud of this release as the music is fabulous - I think it is Aidan's strongest album - just lovely.
The following distributors were given mottled peacock blue copies (see my web site for links):
USA ~~~~~~~~~
Forced Exposure (they supply many shops)
Beta-lactam Ring
Mimaroglu Music Sales
Soleilmoon
Germany ~~~~~~~~~~
Adagio 830
Drone
UK ~~~~~~~~~~~
Norman Records

Aidan Baker :: Gathering Blue 2xLP :: Out 29th April '09
Finally - after a long time and some technical problems with the printing - this 2xLP is ready and it looks and sounds GREAT! 444 copies only.
Click on the image of the sleeve on my site (or just click here) to go to the release-specific page with more info and images.
Due to a mistake by the pressing plant (not deliberate I assure you - a pure error on their part) around 55 copies were pressed on black vinyl - which really do look quite lovely. I will be selling a handful of these via mail order while Aidan Baker himself will get the rest.
The remaining copies were pressed on two types of blue vinyl (95 copies on sky blue vinyl with white fluffy bits and the rest on a beautiful mottled peacock blue - quite delightful).
It comes in a gatefold sleeve and a professionally printed 4"x6" card insert (and hand numbered by yours truly). I will be sending an email (crafted by hand - no spam rubbish) to those on my list with a "heads-up" that it will be available.
More news soon...

Apse :: Eras ... running low + Aidan Baker 2xLP
First ::
Apse "Eras" LP is now running low - and it's only been about 1 week since it was officially released! Reviews have been excellent - so I think smiles all round are warranted.
Also check out the new video made for the track "Up In The Eaves" - see it here:
www.chronoglide.com/Equation_band_apse.html
I really only have about 10 yellow vinyl and 30 (or so) black vinyl copies left. That's it!
The following lovely distros & shops took copies and have them for sale about now - or very soon (all US unless stated):
Forced Exposure
Darla
Norman Records (UK)
Stickfigure Distribution
Beta-lactam Ring
Revolver / Midheaven
Trash American Style
Please support your local indie music dealer in these troubled economic times.
If the b(w)ankers can get a massive pile of government handouts - why can't fine folk who struggle hard to get great music out there get some help too? OK - enough whinging...
Other news ::
I took receipt of the new 2xLP by Aidan Baker yesterday.
"Gathering Blue" (E=mc17) has been over 2 years in the making and was quite an effort by all concerned (due to unforeseen technical issues here and there).
My hope is that it will be ready near the end of March 2009.
(I still need to collate copies, get a beautiful numbered insert card printed and so forth).
The LP features some fabulous new original material plus some major re-workings of old classics plus an incredible cover of a Joy Division classic - not to be missed.
The mottled-peacock blue vinyl looks terrific and the gatefold sleeve has come out much better than expected (the image art, the labels, it all just works beautifully - IMHO). I have not counted the exact number of copies yet - but I suspect there will be about 400 for sale (in total). There are a few (like 80 or so) sky-blue copies too (with fluffy white cloudy bits) - that edition will be for mail-order only. Watch this space!!

Apse "Eras" LP ready to go!
Wow - time flies...
I cannot believe that it was back in June since the last blog.
I won't go into details but probably easier just to say that "life got in the way".
Anyway - the new APSE LP is ready and will be released on 14th February 2009.
They look excellent.
Lovely heavy gatefold sleeve, printed inner sleeve (always nice to have IMHO) plus a numbered printed post-card size card insert.
425 copies.
Rock-A-Rolla and Sound Projector have already given it "solid thumbs-up".
It's early days but already Forced Exposure (USA), Stickfigure (USA) and Norman (UK) are taking copies.
The Aidan Baker 2xLP ("Gathering Blue") should be arriving at Equation Towers shortly - more excitement!
So stuff the credit-crunch and lobby your Senator (or MP if you are in the UK) and try and get some of that bail-out money back into the indie music biz - and vinyl in particular!
