Recieved it in the mail today. Good stuff, even though I'm not in the right mood just now. Better take a listen tonight when things are a bit darker and there is less interference around.
It seems they have recorded another piece which is to be released soon. Check [link]http://www.utechrecords.com/[/link].

I got The Flax of Reverie from Mothlite quite recently as well, and it's now among my favourite records. Would be great to have them added to the archives.

Here are two videos I found from their recent tour (with quite okay sound quality):

A new song? Not sure, but the very very last tiny little bit (just the last minute) sounds like... Magma!!   The end of Rïah Sahïltaahk.

That's Klaus Kombalad, isn't it, off Simples? If I remember correctly, they did a version of it for an upcoming Hamtaï record or something. I think I read it on their blogspot.

Ah, yes.  Just had a look at their blog and it does say that (entry dated 16th June 08).  I have probably only listened to 'Simples' once, maybe I should again...

(I read somewhere that this supposed forthcoming sequel to 'Hamtaï!' will be titled 'Hur!', which makes me giggle stupidly. )
