I guess, due to the import ban, they were not able to buy the Autechre album from their normal source in the UK. So they had a friend of theirs in the UK show up in person to the UK distributer. When he got there he bought several hundred copies and then shipped them to the US distributer. Somehow Nothing found out and gave this US distributer a call and a thorough bitching out. But since this US distributer doesn't distribute any Nothing releases they just laughed and hung up on Nothing. These copies are the reason several US music shops now have the new Autechre album. It's good to see the lengths that distributers are going to get us the music we want. And, from what i understand, the Autechre import ban is only for the US, not Canada. -->-Lance--- p.o. box 450715 westlake, ohio 44145 united states
