Clear 180gsm vinyl, download card and a flexdisc of John doing Satie or summat to be included...oh...and an artprint like Mirrorball!

Don't ask, don't get - innit!

Do they actually still manufacture flexidiscs?

I'd love to see these on vinyl as well, but also available independently.

In fact, my personal opinion is that this CD re-issue would be a good opportunity to make both 'Translucence' and 'Drift Music' available as separate albums...

But as a double vinyl album in a tri-fold sleeve?
Yummy

I know they constantly sell, which is great news and one day I'd love to see the figures. For me personally, this body of work is one of John's finest achievements and we have all underestimated it

I don't know if they've been underestimated by us - certainly the general public perhaps. Maybe I just think that because - in the era of the playlist - I play all three once maybe twice a week one after the other.

I understand why Drift and Translucence are kept together - you really can't play one without the other (in my head).

Or a very very limited run done this way http://thequietus.com/articles/18137-345rpm-lathe-cutting-phil-macy-interview

that bloke needs to get out more

I've needed a copy of "Nighthawks" for a long time, but was reluctant to own extra copies of "Translucence/Drift Music." I sort of resent the bundling of new albums I don't have with old albums that I already do have. It's why I never heard "Cathedral Oceans II" until the complete box came out, which was a sale for the 5.1 copy of CEIII as well as CEII in 2.0. But as a Foxx collector, this is wrong thinking. I should always be buying it all, shouldn't I?
