If Nothing/Interscope had anywhere near an effective marketing department, they would release the new album on the same day, or at the most one week after the UK release. There's not a chance in hell that most of the people on this list will wait a few months for a US release. I'm not saying that we'd be the only people to buy this release, but I'd hazard a guess that any Autechre 'fans' will be looking for this record as a UK import rather than waiting. I suppose we'll have to see an Autechre mix of a new Mine Inch Nails tune in order to create a market for them over here. (IMHO) :) Ian
