I was gonna say that was orginally from the Transformers cartoon movie. What a great cheesy 80s tune!

The cd sounds fantastic. Just when I have written the band off, the bunny god messes with my head.

Yes, Mac's voice is a little strained - but it almost gives the music a John Lennon rock to the beautiful music.

Will's guitar work is as strong as ever. And the backing band is excellent. I know they are playing music that is set. Yet, their confidence brings makes them a part of band. The backing band makes it feel as if, for example, Les is right there on bass.

The orchestra brings Yo-Yo Man to the level of "A Day In The Life."

I don't know why I refer to the Beatles. Just the clearest comparison.

I am glad I bought it. It was worth the wait. Listening to Thorn of Crowns, I feel like I am back at Radio City Music Hall, despite the recording being from Britain.

Thanks.

Please don't post in an obvious state of intoxication, it's not big and it's not clever, all you've done here is bring shame on yourself and your family.

As sober as your Dad in detox on day 3.

But wojo may be right - the sentimentalism may have brought about an extreme. OK, the orchestra brings the song to the lush level of The Dark Is Rising by Mercury Rev.

Funnily enuf I stumbled on Ocean rain today - it was in the Vega retrospective cd box.

Still the best cd ever.

just stumbled on mysterio - a random pick - in the right box.

Still no CD. Still no reply to ANY emails.

It's funny - a few months back, I would probably have pre-ordered The Fountain as a show of support for the band... now, I'm feeling like I don't even want to bother buying it I'm so bloody burned.

*sigh*

Just needed somewhere to vent. Please, go back to your Beatles comparisons... I'm sure the band appreciate it LOL!

What e-mail address are you using? Have you posted on the official forum that you haven't received your stuff? Late shipping is tolerable but no replies isn't cool.

And if worse comes to worse, you can always file a complaint with pay pal.

by **industri** » Thu Sep 24, 2009 12:25 pm

I've tried 3 different addresses, and got no answer at any.

I have posted on the official forum.

I have filed a PayPal notice (though, since I pre-ordered, I can't file a full claim since it was past the 45 day window after the first delay)...

I agree - late is fine, NO communication kinda sucks...

Maybe Noel Burke can help. I have his e-mail address. :wink:

Post about it on the official forum again with your plight and what you have done so far but be civil about it. If no one officially acknowledges you then post back everyday until you get one and keep the thread alive. It's a public forum maybe some shame will get a response.

That just seems sooo...reasonable. :rolleyes:

Maybe rent one of those skywriter airplanes to fly over Liverpool and make your case. They can be quite effective and renting one only costs about as much as the CD itself.
