Having been lurking around here for a while, I'll grant it's a little strange when these older titles come up... But then again, when you think of it, isn't it also a little strange to think of FSTH as old news? Bach's Mass in B Minor is old news, but this? Still, everyone jumps on the merry-go-round at a different point - so it's all new stuff to somebody... Having said that, it wouldn't hurt if people hit the archives; although it _is_ a pain to try to find things there. I'm really looking forward to having the IDM data base up and running. (soon...?) It was really the query about local availability that caught my attention, though. I just tried to place a special order at a pretty good local shop for Vert's _Koln Konzert_, only to discover that it's no longer available. Grrr! I didn't think I was _that_ slow on the uptake, to miss it entirely! I can't tell you how often I've gotten excited about something I've heard about here, only to find it unavailable: even by special order. I know there are the on-line sources for stuff, but I really believe in trying to support the folks locally... at least the ones that really make an effort to track things down for you. I may not just read about stuff I can get locally, but it sure is frustrating to read about music, 90 % of which I'll probably never actually get to hear... (sniff... whine...)

oddly enough, *this* was more the response i got wondering about the release, rather than too many people actually telling me about it... oh well... but, what is the deal with the archives? is there an attempt at bringing back that keen format from, um, years ago? could search, etc... was nice : ) ----- Original Message ----- From: <bobboehler@juno.com> To: <idm@hyperreal.org> Sent: Tuesday, January 30, 2001 9:03 AM Subject: Re: [idm] Savath + Savalas
