I got the reply I was waiting for from Synthphony Records, and it goes like this (my questions first followed by the answers in bold):

Also, many questions we've been asked by site members: Is it available in stores? If so, is it only in the United States, or also in Canada?<<

Besides being available online, it is available in specialty stores that carries synthpop music all over the world.

Is it available in Europe yet? Will it be? Or is it available only by ordering it from the Synthphony website? <<

It should be available in Europe soon. We have distribution there as well. But it would be cheaper to order it directly from Synthphony Records' website.

Thanks to David Lin for replying so quickly. For further details regarding this release, check out the (updated) news section.

Don't be rude, ya bastards - what about the Australian release dates for this CD????? CTD :cool:

Why should you lot get it before the first world ? :) Just because you inflicted Sally from Haway and Shite on us doesn't mean you can start getting records before us !

It's a small continent with some interesting forms of animal life...

I was once told by an Australian that koalas were "nasty little bastards". Can anyone confirm this? :D

In any case, the only reason why I didn't reply was because I thought David Lin's answers were quite explicit by themselves -- he said it would be available in specialty stores ALL OVER THE WORLD, but then again it would be cheaper to order it online on the Synthphony Records website.

As simple as that.

OK - understood. BTW, Koalas are actually turds, so your info is correct. They may look cuddly, but they are agressive (when not sitting around doing bugger all), smell like piss and have sharp claws. I had to dissect a few for my PhD, and trust me - not nice even when dead. Oh well, at least you didn't call them 'bears'. CTD :cool2:

And there was me thinking that turds were faecal deposits. So Koalas aren't little nasty creatures that epitomise what outsiders think of Australia, they are in fact clevely disguised lumps of unspecified faeces !

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Nice one, Nigel! I considered describing them as little cunts, but you may have misinterpreted them as actually being female genitalia. But just what do you mean about epitomising Australia to outsiders? :skeptic: CTD :cool2:

Well whenever you see TV footage of Australia on these holiday programmes and such like, you always get pictures of Koalas, Ayers Rock and the Sydney Harbour Bridge. It's all that bastard Rolf Harris's fault !! :violent:

There's this big British stigma that all Aussies are either like Joe Mangel or Warney, which is a load of bollocks. I've got some good mates from all over Australia who are working in London at the moment, and none of them, not even in the Walkabout, are anything like Joe Mangel (or the extreme version Max Ramsey !!).

Bloody hell, Tim - you hit the nail on the head there, son. After all, if you believe the stereotypes, Britain would be all Big Ben, EastEnders, Buckingham Palace, bad food and coal mines. Not exactly fair, is it? CTD :cool2:

It is all that though !!!! Well not the bad food bit. If I had a quid for every bastard who has got in my way walking between my office on Whitehall (100m from 10 Downing St) and Big Ben, I wouldn't need to go to work. All fucking tourists. If their revenue brought the price down it wouldn't be so bad, but the greedy fuckers just keep putting the price of everything up. EastEnders is real life, it's true, it's not a soap at all. That's the sad part of it. We used to have coal mines, but we gave them to the Luddites to look after.....
