Yeah, I noticed this album too. His website doesn't function anymore, so it will be hard to order it. Sounds a bit like The Pearl at times (Budd/Eno).

Contacted their label about his solo album, and the Avida Dollars project.

" The Tenderpad album is currently out of stock, but may be available later in the year. However there are no plans to reissue the Avida Dollars album " Start Up and Breakdowns ". At this current time, our priority is releasing the Letters To Thurza album, which is now only a few weeks away ".......

I LOVE Eno/Budd/Lanois's " The Pearl ". It is my favourite ambient album along with Robert Fripp's " Let The Power Fall ".

Orders can be made from now on through this page.

I've ordered my copy. The first 100 copies look to be with a limited edition postcard. Interesting to hear other peoples thoughts on the album, as I think it's an astounding piece of work. The more listens, the better it gets. And kudos to them going up the independent route. I thought Burning Shed would have jumped at this one ?

Getting my " Lumen " and " Kinoapparatom " re-issues too. A busy time for us lovers of fine music.

The clip of my favourite track on the album. Features the amazing talents of Maia Vidal

Got a nice note from Paul, in which he mentioned I was the first one who ordered it

Well done

Just receive my copy with no postcard. Nice packaging and artwork too. Sounds great

Got mine yesterday finally (but hey, it came from down under). No postcard though, but a paper that I ordered # 001.

wow.....#001

i got the cd ( no postcard ), which is on high rotation in my house along with " lumen " and the new " kinoapparatom " edition

my favourite tracks are...

poeme
oiseaux hiroshima
once were trees
the broken lap of compassion

robby is such an underrated artist ! i love his voice, and his musicianship. the ensemble is a beautiful match

Ah, wonderful news: my postcard is traveling around the world to get all the autographs from the two Pauls and Robby.

Impressive album. More ambient than Code.

Ordered Lumen; I guess you've got a promotional copy, since the LP should be out next month.

That's great. After all......postcards are meant to fly around the world

The album is indeed ambient in spots, however some really delicate textured areas, and some intense, angular moments too. I like that the album is a wide sonic picture. I hope the album makes it out to the wider community ? Who knows these days with music / art ?

As for " Lumen ". Sadly I did not contain a promo copy ( I bought a digital download ) and preordered the vinyl. The performances and sound quality are fantastic. A great snapshot ( possibly a polaroid ) from that era !

Happy Record Store Day for tomorrow everyone

Listened to the album today again and I noticed thinking of The Blue Nile and Paul Buchanan a couple of times, especially those slow singing-parts.

Indeed, the album has many different moments. There are even some classical-like piece.
