(Self-portrait by TS at Manse Adel, 2005.)
Demand has been running high. I understand that not every enthusiast can afford the deluxe edition. So, KSV is offering a second iteration: the two discs, no accompanying booklet, but a sweet A3 print of the teaser poster and a hard-stock info card.
€13 Eurozone, €15 everywhere else, postpaid. Paypal: tlasila [at] gmail [dot] com.

* Thus designated as the music was Shavian while the band (often only Tom) labored under the very soft contract stipulation that required the use of the POI moniker.
Recap: deluxe edition, with 48-page booklet, etc., Eurozone €31, elsewhere €37. (Shipping from Germany becomes rather more expensive when a package includes more weight.) The music for music's sake edition: €13 Eurozone, €15 everywhere else.
Cheers,
TS
