CDs are here. Arrived at 4:35, royal mail pickup was at 5. We managed to get a few out. The tracked service we are using has to be picked up from premises, there are no Saturday collections. We can drop off international signed for and airsure at the sorting office tomorrow, so we will do them first. The remainder will all be done ready for collection on Monday. It's a tracked 24 service so anyone with an UK order in place should receive their album(s) on Tuesday.
*resumes doing*

Hah! He didn't. In fact he's far more useful than the rest of us, he used to do similar things at alphamagic. He even organised all the stock and waste items. I may buy him a ribbon or something to profess thanks.

International orders, up until ~ midday on Saturday, shipped on Saturday.
The bulk of UK orders went out today, I cannot express the horror and emotional scarring endured in order to make that be the case.
Any overnight orders, and international orders that missed the Saturday cut off, will go out tomorrow. From that point we'll be shipping out this, and other current/future projects, every weekday.... albeit on a 48hour service rather than the trackable 24 hour service we used for delayed pre-orders.
......... enjoy. Spread the word, feedback, as per

First 3 discs devoured and VERY impressed so far.
First 2 are as good as expected, with some exceptional tracks.
But CLSM & Entity's mix is absolutely monstrous!

Ok i got my bundle today including the Ep vol 4 and thought i'd listen to that first (first time listen when writing as always).
-Fools throttled is a remix of an old prodigy track i think? I wasn't overly bothered with that one to be honest.
-Silk cuts revised is pleasant enough and i don't recognise the vocal although i feel i should.
-Forgive me is a pretty forgettable breaks track.
-suited and booted is ok and sounds a bit powerstompy without the stomp
-You said is more breaks but a bit better than the Fracus & Darwin effort
-303 insanity sounds a lot like some of the 90's freeform and i quite like it.
-Just a ride uses lines from one of my favourite comedians in bill hicks and Fracus & Darwin put a nice track around it! that's the 4th or so Farcus & darwin track i've liked in the last couple of years!!
-Crash well hmm the less said the better really
-DBl3 isn't bad if i'm honest but i'm not crazy about it.
-Twice around the moon is nice but not quite strong enough for me
Anyhow on to the main course being HU6 and as it's a mixed album i'm not gonna go track by track like the other stuff but i'm quite looking forward to what i would consider the traditional hardcore disk. I'm not overly bothered about some of the new Scott brown tracks as they have already been released but i haven't heard much Al Storm for a while.
The space invader update is a nice start but then what??? NOOO DUBCORE!! GAH HORRID SHITE with a nice breakdown and then more of that horrid shite. If you could cut a minute out of funky town and put something normal around it, a nice track would result. There's a lot more where that came from too although Haunted by Sy & Al storm isn't bad and Feel the friction is worth a listen or two. Guiding light is ok and so is the power of love powerstomp. Overall that disk is a mixed bag and perhaps if i didn't already have 4 of the scott brown tracks i would have considered it good but i'm really disappointed with the amount of dubcore on there.
Disk 2- I don't usually like Fracus and Darwin together but i have liked some of their new stuff so going in with an open mind etc.
-I really liked the original of don't be lonely on HU1 i'm not a huge fan of the remix because i think it's lost a lot of the ambient sound of the original.
- I really like the love of my life update! very well done. Promises is also very good!
-I already have coming back to me and that's a great tune. Be the one and pacific sun are also worth a listen and Thoughts and smiles is a great track and s shame it only gets sub two minutes.
In Fact it's a very good disk and i'm quite impressed. WELL DONE Mr Fracus & Mr Darwin.
Disk 3- Breaks aren't really my thing to be honest so most of it passes me by but i know good tracks when i see them:
Feel it by triquatra and Alive by Entity and Chwhynny are good picks of the bunch but say goodbye is my favourite from that disk.
Disk 4:- I'm really expecting not to get much from being freeform but usually there is something i can pick out.
Well for a start HATE the ascending angels remix and what a way to ruin one of my favorite freeform tunes of all time and as for the rest well.... everyone needs a drinks coster.
Overall the album is better than the last one and the most impressive work comes from Fracus & Darwin. I'm really hoping that thoughts and smiles by Chwhynny gets a full release at some point because that's my tune of the album.
On to powerstomp!!

The eps are usually just dj tools and long unreleased tracks. I ummed and ahhd about including but thought given the delays... Heh.
Give Funky Town some time, it's a grower. Honest!
Chwhynny will be happy about Thoughts and Smiles, it's an F&S tributey thing actually intended for HHU where it will be longer with less modern percussion.
Keep it coming, y'all!
