I too found it in the CDE database (and was hungry enough to order it.) When I inquired from Dielctrique, the Belgian online service I learned Lines: 31 Lines: 20 ME> 2 releases which I am interested in but did not see were:

ME> R&S Digeridoo CD (Analogue Bubblebath II) ME> R&S Aphex Twin Classics (Is this released yet, if not when?)

ME> thanx for any info you can provide. THEM>Didgeridoo is available only in vinyl format. THEM>Aphex Twin Classics is not released and I don't know when it will get THEM>released, sorry. THEM>Aphex Twin Selected Ambient works 85-92 is available on cd. Being sufficiently bummed by this response, I called R&S in Belgium to see if I could get "the scoop". They told me that ATC was scheduled to be released 12/5/94!!! When I asked him about the track listing, he said that they were planning to work that out this week!!! Seeing as I already ordered this disc from CDE and that they hit my credit card about 5 seconds after I logged off, I think it kind of rots that they list vapourware in their online catalog without any type of flag against it. If anyone out there is contemplating becoming as big a sucker as me, don't order it yet.....

It's academic at this point since it's long out of print, and R&S would be stupid to leave it off of 'Classics,' but I have held a copy of the "Digeridoo" CD single in my hand. C. -- cspot@netcom.com (Chris.Hilker)........a good-foot dance in a dusted trance

Don't dis them for providing the service that they claim to provide. If you'd read the info page on cdeurope.com before ordering, you'd know that they don't carry any stock. Their catalogue is a union of the catalogues of their suppliers, with whom they'll place an order when they receive your order. As we all know, just because the supplier lists a release doesn't mean that it actually exists, not that it hasn't been deleted. So CDE won't generally know the status of particular items. They actually say right at the top of the information page that they can't guarantee that all the items in the catalogue are actually available. If an item is out-of-stock or unavailable, you can (at your option) have them continue to try to get hold of it, or send you a refund. -cosmic

Well, I've heard that this would be out on Dec. 5, has anyone seen it?

You're joking, right? CD Europe habitually lists CD's in its catalogue that aren't available. C. -- (Chris.Hilker) cspot@hyperreal.com

In october, no less! |-bob I think it IS out as of 12/05/94 (Can anyone confirm?), but please do not be fooled by a listing in CDE as an indicator of a release's status or existence. They're pretty upfront about it in their disclaimers, but because you see it there doesn't necessarily mean it exists. All that matters is that your credit card available balance exists. My vote goes for DaveEAR or cdNOW for online service.| Jeff Davis ____--~~~~~~vvvv~~~~ oo jjdavis@xnet.com____---- ( ( ( vvvv ~~~~~~ooooooooooo ___----( ( \ \ \ \ \vvv oooooooooooooo 815.772.1260 ____---- ( \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ vvooooooooooooooooooooo

I've never heard of cdNOW.......Could someone give more info about it, like how to access it? Does anyone know the release date for the new EBN? ALso, what about the new MBM? Last I heard, Jack was done with the music but hadn't written the lyrics yet......... J

Hi All, I have ordered Aphex Twin Classics in the Uk from GEMA records. One it arrives, I will mail a message to idm to announce the arrival, so that other people will know it has been released. Mike
