Many thanks for posting this. I'm in. 15 Euro, not US $, but that's OK.

Agreed. The recent "Live at IUCC" reissue is awesome.

Coincidentally, my copy of that was in the mail and just went into the player for the first time when the mail from Bertrand arrived ... IUCC is wonderful!

And with Bertrand being as scrupulous in choosing material as he is, I'm certain the new one will be, too!

[ghost of miles]

This is CD, correct? If so, I’m definitely in.

Good point, the website does not fully specify on that link.  There are other links for buying download or CD, but those have different prices.

[Guy Berger]

Awesome.

I just heard back from Bertrand, who confirms that it is indeed a CD.  Given how some historical reissues are coming out as vinyl/download only these days, I wanted to make sure... placing my order right now!

Just placed mine also, thanks!

[romualdo]

two of the 5 titles will be released on LP in the next few months

[king ubu]

Sorry for not having mentioned the format - DarkTree so far is CD/DL only.

Vocals, "chants", what??

Is there a US source for this - maybe Squidco? They've carried Dark Tree issues, but I don't see it on their "upcoming".

Free shipping from this source.

Which one?

DarkTree itself includes free shipping - globally, it seems. So I don't really see any need for a broker/intermediary.

That's what I meant.  No need for Squidco or anyone like that, just get it direct from Dark Tree.

[king ubu]

my copy will be shipped tomorrow, hope to get it by the end of this week!

[T.D.]

Got e-mail today stating that it shipped yesterday (Monday). I had been slightly concerned (but not enough to send an e-mail query) because I received no confirm from Dark Tree at time of order (only the PayPal confirm).

It's a one-man affair, and I guess Bertrand got some orders after sending out the info - I ordered/paid right after and was hoping for a faster reply, but never mind, I'm excited about this, no matter when exactly it will arrive!

[mjazzg]

Mine's arrived. Straight in the player, sounding great.

Nicely packaged, obviously a lot of thought and care has gone it producing thi

The vocal tracks are great, Twible at his best and the choir is superb. The Fela tribute is a highlight.
