First off we just want to apologize to everyone who preordered our album through Arghh! records. We realize that you (and also we) have been eagerly waiting a very long time for our CD. Just know that we rushed the artwork and the mixing to meet a deadline of April 2008 at the request of Arghh! records in France. Since then we have been waiting on Arghh! records to press the Album as promised. we've decided to start pressing it ourselves (at about 1/3 of the cost to you).....

We've politely requested that Arghh! refunds the money to people who have ordered The Ancient Machine.We have also requested for him to give us a list of people who ordered it so that we can get you your long awaited copies and straighten everything out.

We express our deepest apologies, but honestly in the beginning we saw this as an opportunity to accept help from someone interested in releasing our music worldwide. This has been a learning experience for us about how to deal with labels and unfortunately those who've paid for our mistake in judgement have been our most dedicated fans. We only hope that you all will not hold it against us and will also allow us to make it up to you; You will get your CD soon, even if we have to make it with our bare hands!....

As for our pressing, We've got a new cd printer, real blank cds and cases, and professional printing underway to get you legitimate copies of the Album at about 5 dollars a copy and 2 dollars shipping (US). These will be available at all shows, and also through paypal and mail order. ....

Feel free to contact us through our myspace or email if you have any further concerns not addressed here or just want to talk about anything really. We like to listen. ....
