Impressive Allen... I'll have to go back to the soundcloud page. Got a link? Looking forward to it. Congratulations.

[AllenLowe]

[papsrus]

Very nice.

[xybert]

Does anyone know if/when this is coming out or if it's out already? It's not showing as being for sale on Allen Lowe's website, as far as i can see. Cheers.

[jlhoots]

AFAIK never came out.

[AllenLowe]

"sigh" - frustrating situation; they've been putting it off, though I have been assured it will be out by next spring, if not before; if that doesn't happen, I will find an alternative means -

[king ubu]

Crossing my fingers, Allen! This does look fine!

[xybert]

Cheers, good to know it's still on the horizon.

[AllenLowe]

thanks, guys, I'm excited about it; just waiting.

[tranemonk]

Looking forward to getting a copy. Alan do you know when you're going to start taking orders?
