Oh god, there is absolutely no need to pay US$30!
Three cheaper options:
1. Me - as a few of you already know. ;) This particular CD is only
2,000yen for some reason, which is less than the usual album pricing
(3,000yen). With the yen falling like crazy, it amounts to about US$17 or
UKP10 at the current rate. With postage, it's still like US$20 or UKP12.
2. Geoffrey Elgey <elgey@fit.qut.edu.au>reported a domestic release down
under, which is probably even cheaper if it's less than the album price
there too.
3. Mr.Eden over at Warp just posted:

So, definitely do NOT pay $30, contact me or Geoff if you really want one
now, or wait for it to show up in your local store on sale for $11. :)

NP: "Daisy World Tour" comp (the first release from Haruo Hosono's own
label, Daisyworld, contains tracks by members of HAT, plus Jonah Sharp,
Paul Shutze, etc. Japan-only, so I hear.)
NextUp: HAT - Tokyo-Frankfurt-NewYork (the second release from Daisyworld.
Thanks Chris, for letting me listen to it first.)
