Has anyone ordered this from the Smalltown shop and actually received it? I ordered three weeks ago, no money has been taken, no goods received.


Just checked back to the site and it says:

 

Sommerferie! / Closed for the summer!

Denne butikken har sommerstengt - tilbake i august 2007.
This shop is temporarily closed until August 2007.



Grrrrrr...

Yep, I had the same problem. So I finally got tired of waiting, cancelled the order and downloaded it. :cool:

sonicl 05.25.2007 12:22 AM

Well I've just emailed the people who are supposed to be sending it, let's wait and see what happens...

I downloaded their current catalgue too, and it's not listed on there, although most other smalltown stuff is.

listening to it now dudes (ordered it from Volcanic Tongue yesterday).
sucks balls, dude!

just kidding.. although some of you guys overhyped it a hell of a lot.. it's ok.. just ok..

I wish I'd ordered from VT. The money to pay for my copy from Smalltown Supersound has been taken now, but still no sign of a CD. And they're on holiday, so there's fuck all chance of getting anything done about it.

pokkeherrie 05.31.2007 06:43 AM

I heard it's a hiking holiday from Norway to Siberia. So that might take a while.

sonicl 05.31.2007 06:47 AM

Pokkeherrie: Well I hope that one of them gets food poisoning from the meal that he buys with my 160 krone.

Nefeli: The money shows on my statement as having been taken at the start of May, but it didn't actually appear on the statement until last week.

pokkeherrie 05.31.2007 06:49 AM

they're probably having a salmon lunch from that.

sonicl 05.31.2007 06:51 AM

I hope they get mercury poisoning.

sonicl 05.31.2007 07:07 AM

Oh, I don't want them to die from food poisoning. I just want them to feel the pain that I am feeling because I don't have my Original Silence CD. That's fair, isn't it?

Iain 05.31.2007 07:35 AM

So the pain you're experiencing from not recieving your cd is a pain similar to that of food poisoning? Has this incident caused vomiting etc?

sonicl 05.31.2007 07:37 AM

Mild flatulence.

I got a copy last weekend at a Peter Brotzmann Chicago Tentet show (the reason they had it on sale no doubt being that Paal Nilssen-Love was in it)


Listening to it now... It's pretty good, but so far I agree with Whorefrost that it seems a bit overhyped here... or maybe my expectations were just too high. It could be a grower of course.


I'll be interested to hear your and Nefeli's opinions when you'll receive your copies in September! :D

pokkeherrie 06.04.2007 07:04 AM

second track's good though!

sonicl 06.04.2007 07:49 AM

It's not very encouraging that the contacts page on their website says "If you send us an e-mail, don't expect a reply", or something to that effect. I don't think they're a bunch of crooks, but I do think that they're more than just a little crap.

Oh, I read it... it's just that every time there's an opportunity to tease you or sonicl I can't resist.

sonicl 06.04.2007 07:56 AM

Aah, that famous Dutch sense of humour...

I've just felt like giving some colour to your post. Do you mind?

Moshe 06.04.2007 08:08 AM

Boy, I feel bad for "promoting" this album. I have talked to the guy from the label several times and he was really nice. Definitely not a crook or crap. I'll try to contact him to ask what is going on. Maybe he gust have a different concept of time up there in the north?
