Hi folks,

As this is the off-topic board I'd like to take the opportunity to shamelessly promote my new album... But wait! It's not 'entirely' off-topic ;-) Amongst the rich array of guest performers are three former Sylvian collaborators. Interested? Read on...

Guitarist Tim Motzer, who performed ...

Thank you for posting this very engaging interview.

Just adding to the list... "Thank you" for putting this great interview online for those (like myself) who missed it. I appreciate it.

To Untitled & Mr Fletchertronics -

Did you get hit with a Customs charge? Still waiting patiently for mint to materialise.

Sonic

Sonic, delighted to say there were no Customs charges. The package was marked as a book worth $20 - so I guess it glided under Custom's radar.

Sorry, you're still ...

I've just emailed Samadhisound...my order still hasnt arrived. Not happy.

Simon - I'm in the UK and my order was delivered on Tuesday. My order number was 592. Do you know if your order no was before or after this? I have my fingers crossed for you.

Sorry to hear that it's still not arrived ...

I love it. I fully expected to love it, and I do - very much so :-)

I wouldn't say it was his masterpiece yet, as those judgements are often easier to make in retrospect. Besides, I think there's even greater work to come yet from the man...

For me this is not a "difficult" album, and though it is ...

Hurrah! My Manafon 'deluxe edition' just arrived :-)

I'm in the UK, and the good news re: import tax is that Samadhi have described the package contents (on the customs label) as a "book" to the value of $20, meaning that there was NO extra charge! Well done to Samadhi for doing this, as it means ...

Yep I got my update too. I'm quite surprised its been despatched so quickly Lee. Samadhi aren't renowned for their efficiency. Oh it might be here on Monday. How wonderful!

Well, it's been at least 9 days since my order was dispatched from Samadhi, but as yet no delivery... I suspect it'll arrive ...

I Hope it is another Nine Horses Project...
all the best Dougie :D

Y'know, I hope it's not. In fact I hope Nine horses was a one-off. I'd rather he continue developing in the current vein, or veer off somewhere unexpected...

As beautifully produced as it was, Nine Horses was (for me) the most ...

Yes, the posh packaging of the deluxe edition was probably quite pricey I should think! If it was produced in such a small quantity I doubt he made much of a profit.

Which is why it still baffles me that they run these things in such a limited amount. I mean alager run could be an unfeasible ...

Guys, have you done the math on this? 2000 X $85 plus how many of the standard CD. We are talking quite a revenue generatee here with Monafan. I wold say the cost of a blank CD and packaging is about $2. Makes one think , doesnt it?

ah yes but you havent taken into account printing costs, artist ...

I'm not listening to anything but the CD when it arrives.

Didn't know I had so much will-power.

Ditto :-)

My deluxe-edition CD should arrive after the weekend, and I'm looking forward to hearing it fresh out of the box, only having listened previously to Small Metal Gods (twice).

When the ...

From Samhadisound today re: my deluxe set order... "Your order has been updated to the following status: Shipped"

Hurrah! It 'may' even arrive by the release date.

Baht & Inkinthewell, I'm in total agreement with you both on this.

The author's not Chet, but Angus McBean.

That'll teach me not to read the last line of a post, eh?
