yes, i remember Blahdvd, and similar thing happened to me once/twice
with Powerplaydirect. i think it was the Harmonic33 album on WARP,
which they couldnt get from the distributor and re-ordered 14 (!!!)
times. i just kept waiting, cuz i wanted to see what's gonna happen
:) but yeah it was worth the wait (7.99!)
Idei Lahesna is rather rare indeed! i'm surprised Blahdvd were
selling it! and just checked - they still do , so i'll get me a copy
as well :) thanks for the tip!! speaking of Octex , his 2nd album
just came out:

never tried PBE, but i've heard a lot obviously on the list.
