agreed. I felt much better weeks after when I received the masters for Amon
Tobin's 'Bricolage' record. I'm still following this with lots of interest
however. Imports have already taken a sizable chunk of Nothings potential
sales. I would hope they price the double as a single so as not to skank
anyone who only needs it for the extra disc. I don't know what they expect
to achieve. I know what our offer was and what our break even for the
project was (approximatly 6000 copies), if you compare our overhead with
Nothing coupled with the fact they paid a hell of a lot more than we were
going to I can't imagine what they need to sell on it. Let's face it, it's
a fucking brilliant album but it hardly has serious crossover appeal. Oh
well whatever. At least it's finally coming out.
