If Nothing/Interscope had anywhere near an effective marketing
department, they would release the new album on the same day, or
at the most one week after the UK release.  There's not a chance
in hell that most of the people on this list will wait a few months
for a US release.  I'm not saying that we'd be the only people to
buy this release, but I'd hazard a guess that any Autechre 'fans'
will be looking for this record as a UK import rather than waiting.

I suppose we'll have to see an Autechre mix of a new Mine Inch Nails
tune in order to create a market for them over here. (IMHO) :)
