Bummer.
Well, now, in terms of Incunabula, I'd have to say Tri-Repetae sounds much more like that than Amber. It's still lacking in much change in melody, but while listening to it at work, there were quite a few times where I stopped to listen a bit more closely, when something perked my interest in the music. Mostly those nice analogue sweeps and tweaks. :-) As for paying an import price for it, I'd suggest waiting it out. I splurged, and now I see (hear? :) I could have waited for a few months on the domestic. If I had to compare it to anything, I'd describe it as being hard AFX, in that it's grainy. Not all the time, but there are significant percussive perks throughout what I've heard so far (up to track 7). Just my $.02. -- guyjr@ulc49.residence.gatech.edu a.k.a., Guy Elden Jr.
