Shush, it is the Original Silence - Page 3

sonicl · 05.24.2007, 08:44 AM

Has anyone ordered this from the Smalltown shop and actually received it? I ordered three weeks ago, no money has been taken, no goods received.

Just checked back to the site and it says:

Sommerferie! / Closed for the summer!

Denne butikken har sommerstengt - tilbake i august 2007.
This shop is temporarily closed until August 2007.

Grrrrrr...

AllHandsOnTheBigOne · 05.24.2007, 04:23 PM

Yep, I had the same problem. So I finally got tired of waiting, cancelled the order and downloaded it.

sonicl · 05.25.2007, 12:22 AM

Well I've just emailed the people who are supposed to be sending it, let's wait and see what happens...

I downloaded their current catalgue too, and it's not listed on there, although most other smalltown stuff is.

whorefrost · 05.31.2007, 06:08 AM

listening to it now dudes (ordered it from Volcanic Tongue yesterday).
sucks balls, dude!

just kidding.. although some of you guys overhyped it a hell of a lot.. it's ok.. just ok..

sonicl · 05.31.2007, 06:23 AM

I wish I'd ordered from VT. The money to pay for my copy from Smalltown Supersound has been taken now, but still no sign of a CD. And they're on holiday, so there's fuck all chance of getting anything done about it.

pokkeherrie · 05.31.2007, 06:43 AM

I heard it's a hiking holiday from Norway to Siberia. So that might take a while.

sonicl · 05.31.2007, 06:47 AM

Pokkeherrie: Well I hope that one of them gets food poisoning from the meal that he buys with my 160 krone.

Nefeli: The money shows on my statement as having been taken at the start of May, but it didn't actually appear on the statement until last week.

pokkeherrie · 05.31.2007, 06:49 AM

they're probably having a salmon lunch from that.

sonicl · 05.31.2007, 06:51 AM

I hope they get mercury poisoning.

sonicl · 05.31.2007, 07:07 AM

Oh, I don't want them to die from food poisoning. I just want them to feel the pain that I am feeling because I don't have my Original Silence CD. That's fair, isn't it?

Iain · 05.31.2007, 07:35 AM

So the pain you're experiencing from not recieving your cd is a pain similar to that of food poisoning? Has this incident caused vomiting etc?

sonicl · 05.31.2007, 07:37 AM

Mild flatulence.

I got a copy last weekend at a Peter Brotzmann Chicago Tentet show (the reason they had it on sale no doubt being that Paal Nilssen-Love was in it)

Listening to it now... It's pretty good, but so far I agree with Whorefrost that it seems a bit overhyped here... or maybe my expectations were just too high. It could be a grower of course.

I'll be interested to hear your and Nefeli's opinions when you'll receive your copies in September!

pokkeherrie · 06.04.2007, 07:04 AM

second track's good though!

sonicl · 06.04.2007, 07:49 AM

It's not very encouraging that the contacts page on their website says "If you send us an e-mail, don't expect a reply", or something to that effect. I don't think they're a bunch of crooks, but I do think that they're more than just a little crap.

Oh, I read it... it's just that every time there's an opportunity to tease you or sonicl I can't resist.

sonicl · 06.04.2007, 07:56 AM

Aah, that famous Dutch sense of humour...

I've just felt like giving some colour to your post. Do you mind?

Moshe · 06.04.2007, 08:08 AM

Boy, I feel bad for "promoting" this album. I have talked to the guy from the label several times and he was really nice. Definitely not a crook or crap. I'll try to contact him to ask what is going on. Maybe he gust have a different concept of time up there in the north?
