Looks like they're running into the same problems as to when I bought the Man Ray EP...
It'll be a digital download, but when you go to download it, there's an "Access Denied" message?
Wait for the e-mail with the link to the zip file to arrive... Click on that, and it'll be okay... Downloading now... :-)
You can listen to the song here called "The Milky Way"
http://www.bbc.co.uk/6music/shows/shaun_keaveny/
The song starts at 2:22
Guess I'm waiting for the e-mail with the link to land then ... Have checked the website Files section and it shows no downloads found .. have mailed the site so fingers crossed something will come back with the link soon!

I bought the complete EP and received a link to one long "continuous" 24 minute MP3 file rather than the four individual files I thought I'd be getting. Unfortunately it makes listening to individual songs a real hassle as you constantly have to fast forward through the file to the point you want.
Also, it's a small point but for 99p per track and in this day and age we should really be getting 320 bit-rate files, not 192. Preferably though I'd rather just pay a little more for an actual CD 
will the Freebass stuff be getting a physical format release?
Musically it obviously sounds much more polished than the demos we heard a couple of years ago. Live Tomorrow You Go Down (I think?) caught my attention pretty much immediately as it's the electro-ey one. The first three are guitar driven numbers... I'll have it on heavy rotation for the next few days before forming any opinions. Milky Way sound does sound pretty good though.

well worth the wait,howard marks GENIUS!
Cant wait for the fookin Album ! :D
You dont know this about me.......
I guess it's the trend to release singles digitally nowadays. It would be good if the upcoming album had a physical format release, by the way.
PS- I saw this on the news section of the site about the EP- "The EP is available as a one track continuous download and as a four track download with two bonus tracks. The four tracks are also available as individual downloads."
nUTS -is this working yet or do u still get problems?
Regards Rocket Mick
Ps is the BL single available as 7 inch yet?

Typical, so I bought the wrong download???
Seriously, though, it would help if the descriptions as to what you're actually buying were a lot better - i.e. what the package included (CD, MP3, individual tracks, etc)??? If the album's going to be released as both a physical and a virtual product, then how will we know the difference?????????????

Come to think of it, the shop section doesn't list much details at the moment.

I didn't check their News section regarding the file types available I just went directly to the "Shop" to purchase. Unfortunately it didn't warn me on the EP page it's just one long file otherwise I would have bought them individually.
I went on past experience from iTunes/Amazon that when you buy an EP or Single, you're buying 3-4 individual tracks. Not one long audio file 
I don't believe the Manray EP was one continuous file either, it was four individual files.
Nick's absolutely right though, there could be a wee bit more info on the product pages.
The only difference I can see between the two is right at the bottom where it says 'Continuous Digital Download' on one and '6 track ep' on the other.
Without being aware that there are 2 different ones who would think to check for that?
Ah well it's a lesson in paying attention to detail for me.
The first one is the CONTINIOUS one.....then 4 individual tracks then the SIX TRACK EP is THE LAST ONE.Now we just need one BRAVE bassole to download the LAST one to confirm that you get the 6 tracks SPLIT( might be 4 and 2?)
Rocket Mick
...as M T said
Now where is my DIGITAL DOWNLOAD FOR DUMMies manual?:D
Shoplifting is MUCH easier!
320 or 192?
Went ahead and tried to get the six individual tracks.Just waiting for anything to happen.Cheers Chad for offer of help.
Hi
Hooky wanted the EP up as a continuous piece and there was a short period where the 6 track wasn't available. Apologies for any confusion.
If anyone would prefer the 6 track to the one piece, please contact the site on
http://mail@fac51thehacienda.com and we'll sort it out.
Cheers Chad
Thanks for the info Chad - that's pretty good service from a music provider for once and I'm sure many will appreciate the help.
The six tracks are really good. Nice that there's some variety in this release and that the whole thing is likely to live up to everyone's expectations.
Certainly well worth it in my view.
Looking forward to the album now!
Got all the way through to payment section and my order was replaced with Dave's from Warwick order for Manray Download including email address and address - full of flaws this website it would seem 
trying to purchase but wont let me choose a delivery address that isn't in the UK.
Anyone know if we can buy/download this if we are in the States?

Hey Chad - can you also look into this issue as well please.
Thanks Dennis R
Hi sorry to be thick but I can't find the full 6-track listing, only the standard four I was expecting. Any info on the 2 bonus tracks gratefully received.
Anybody else having trouble actually purchasing this?
Ordered the 6 track ep,go thru' checkout procedure & fill out all fields but when get to payment method,it won't let you do anything!! Annoying me now

While you're at it Chad, you need to display more information about the music formats that people are purchasing. There was no upfront indication whether the Man Ray tracks were downloads, vinyl or what. It couldn't be assumed they were all downloads as you had CDs on the same page.
Dennis, I was able to bypass the UK-only roadblock by just entering a UK shire and postcode at the end of an Aussie address. Not pretty but it worked.
Can anyone advise whether "Two Worlds Collide" will be available on CD/vinyl at any point?
