Have a feeling Amazon UK only had 1 to begin with

Had to break down and make an order through Amazon US.  According to their info, I may have this VERY soon!

I'm from mexico and it's nearly impossible to get all their albums without spending millions of money, so i have this idea. Someone rip "destined solitaire" into flac or wav formats, scan the booklet, the back cover, etc. then upload the files to mediafire, make a blog post with all the info, you know, so i can make my pirated version and pretend it's the original.

Then Rikard would give me an account number or his address and i'd be happy to send him the right amount of money he and the guys deserve for making these awesome songs.

...well, i'm just dreaming awake :-)

Can you *put* a $ amount on that?  Art is priceless!  ;-)

BTW - I'm digging the album *so far*!  I've only listened through from start-to-finish once though and, as most prog albums go, it doesn't all soak in right away.  The death-metal growl bit didn't quite "fit in" for me but again, that was listen #1 and I could point out several hundred moments that "fit in" *just fine*!  X~P

Also Rikard - you definitely do seem to drop more "F-bombs" on this album but no *FZ* bombs  ;-)

Great job again boys and maybe I'll add some more feedback once I get a chance at absorbing this album a bit more...

Finally got it, thanks to Stefan Dimle of Mellotron Records.

>Bertovo: Thanks!

To all of you: I would (as Fredrik wrote) recommend you all to buy it through mellotronen.com if you purchase in Sweden, coz all the other places that I've found seem to charge insane prices, up to 249:- (at cdon.se... ) Stefan and his team has the humane price of 159:- for Destined Solitaire and the artwork itself is worth that
Pretty soon we'll be setting up a webshop of our own as well and then we will ofcourse recommend you to shop through there but for now I think mellotronen is your best bet in Sweden at least!

Cheers - Rikard

I'll report in a few more times with some of my other thoughts on the album but for now:  the *stand-out* track for me, personally, is "In Real Life There Is No Algebra".  Man, what a killer, mathematical groove!  I haven't gotten a chance to study the lyrics too in-depth yet in my listenings but there are a lot of funny lines in here too "teach me like you would a - teach me like you would a *DOG*", etc.  I continually shoved this tune down my fellow bandmates' respective throats all weekend.  Hopefully something stuck!  ;-)

Diggin' it guys!
