Any other North Americans here these days? Got my shipping notification nearly a month ago but no CD yet. That's a longer wait than usual.

ETA: I'm an impatient person, evidently. I checked eMusic.com and the album's there so I bought a download. This is lovely stuff.

Please see the following announcement about this release…

Ghost Harmonic - Codex…

We've discovered that a very small batch of Codex CDs were incorrectly inserted into their wallets at the manufacturing plant. As a result, some glue has got onto a few of the CDs.

We will offer new copies on any sent back to Townsend Records. Apologies for any inconvenience caused by this. You can contact Townsend Records here - https://johnfoxx.tmstor.es/cart/contact.php

If you have bought Codex from an alternative retailer and your CD is faulty you will also be able to return the package for a replacement.

Kind regards,

Metamatic Records

This is just a first impression from one play whilst doing something else.

Pleasant, interesting, slightly surprised that there aren't more noticable (to my untrained ear) synth sections - that little interjection near the end of track 1, would have expected more of that. The track "Codex" itself reminded me of something, I couldn't place it for a couple of minutes and then decided it was one of the REM B sides from the early nineties, "Organ Song" I think. Nothing wrong with that - sublime.

Note to the universe: when I get tired of waiting for a CD and buy a download, the CD's supposed to arrive the very next day, not a few days later. No glue problem, at least.

Steve Roby - I am a North American and I've had "Codex" for over a month! Thought I did just have to reorder the new Rezillos album on LP after ordering it a month ago. My first attempt never arrived after dispatch. At least the vendor was instantaneous about the refund when I mentioned this.

Did you order from Townsend? I preordered from them. Usually takes a week or so, not a month.

Yeah. My wife orders from Townsend for me as she's on the mailing list at work. I am fortunate to have a wife who likes John Foxx, if you can believe that bit of fortune [among others]. Sounds like you have some shipping issues to work out.

I'll hope this is a one-off.

Perhaps, like me, you've been listening wrong...
