Better be worth waiting for

Bugger!  The new Bass Communion album, 'Pacific Codex' was rumoured to have been finished several months ago, for release in September/October, but SW has announced that it's "now coming out in January, sorry!"

The 'most lavish packaging yet for a BC release' sounds like a nice bonus (a stereo CD and 5.1 DVD-A with a 36-page book and other inserts designed by Carl Glover, all in a hard box), but ultimately all I care about is the music, and I'm not pleased by a three-month delay for mere packaging.

[Update 22/12/07: Argh! A manufacturing fault has caused another delay, into February....]

[Update 06/02/07: Pre-orders are being taken by Headphone Dust, for despatch on or about 11 February.]
