Quite, Much as I love the convenience of mp3s, they are NO substitute for CDs. Ideally, the albums would always be available for legal download through those aforementioned outlets as well, but it would be a terrible shame if that was the ONLY way to get hold of them. CDs are lovely.

Damn, you beat me to it! I saw this on Saturday and was just about to post the news – I ordered my copy of Hybris last night and wanted to leave a little gap before telling the world and unleashing the floodgates!

I must have got one of the last few copies of Epilog when I ordered direct from Mellotronen in Sweden at the end of 2006, as not long afterwards people were saying that both albums were out of print, but this is good news that it will be available again soon.

There are currently two copies of Hybris on the Amazon marketplace, a re-issue at £336 and an original CD release at £500 . Much as I wanted the album, there's no way I would pay that amount, especially as the band would not get a penny from it.
