I wonder... is there really such a large demand for this record? Months n'
months it has been since HAB EP came out and I'll bet there are still some
copies of this limited release sitting on store shelves somewhere... hell
someone on this list from New York said he just found one in a shop. I got
mine, what, six months after its release with little trouble at all. People
everywhere are finding Dragon Disc 2's, and those got only 250 pressings or
something like that. Besides, I've seen reviews of both records in
magazines with fairly large reader bases, not just on the IDM list or
whatnot. Who the hell outside of our little circle, besides the
computer-less trainspotter types, even knows who Caustic Window is? What
major music mags have mentioned the new Caustic Window album? How many
people even care? Maybe 1500 copies will be enough to go around after all,
so I'd suggest we not worry, and not fight, and get a good night's sleep.
G'bye.

P.S. I heard somewhere (possibly on the list) that Wagon Christ's
"Throbbing Pouch" sold 12,000 copies. They made a big deal out of this, as
though it were a rare occurrence. Hmm...
