I can't find the press release for the Deepfried Toguma CD at the moment,
but check http://www.plasma.dk for some infos.
Binger the Voyager's "Sweet Taste of Nothing" is on Oxygen Music Works -- I
don't have a release date offhand, but check http://www.omw.com

Not sure if either are in stores yet, though.
hope this helps...
