I agree totally. I have no complaints about the quality of the album, indeed I think it's really good. I just think it shouldn't have been sold as a full price album. Could it be some sort of marketing "test" on the part of Rephlex? If so, I think they would've sold more units had it been priced like the Chimera album. bye, Eric.
