I think Island UK reissued this White Noise album on CD in 98, and therefore it can be found in North America for a somewhat reasonable price. It is undoubtedly a psych-rock/electronic classic, just as amazing--if not better--than anything their contemporaries Silver Apples or the United States Of America did.
