Yeah i think he meant to type 2001 or is trying to make people think he has the new reissue. i wouldn't worry.

Woz hangin'round modular site&lookin'at planned events'til end ov year...wot u guys think cause there's not the slightest clue'bout any potential live performance from the band...which ov course doesn't mean nothing would be released but...i don't know....wit sum singles supposed to appear "later this year" (from last update in july,me think...)& being in mid-october(almost),well, i happen to find meself a bit puzzled....

So it's november... I can't imagine them not releasing the 11th annivesary reissue on the 27th, but has anyone heard anything about this? I mean it's dissapointing that we have heard nothing that can confirm anything yet. I know sample clearence is hard but something should be confirmed about anything.

It's a little bit late to be releasing something on the 27th: where's the publicity drive? I imagine it might be out for Xmas, but that doesn't exactly leave much time either. Mercury Rev pulled off an anniversary remastered double album (Deserter's Songs), plus tour, plus instrumentals cd.

We might be pleasantly surprised in the next few weeks.

Well my hope is still that we get a 27th release and they're just waiting til it gets close to make an official anouncement, though ANY info would be lovely.

Yes, come on guys! Put us out of our misery!

So I guess the website being down didn't mean anything. *sigh*

They've uploaded some new pictures to twitter, one of a cat asleep on a sampler, and also some drives....

Jesus… is that a Power Mac 7200? No wonder the album's taking a while…

Mac's are the future! Even ones from 1995! Once you get to use one, you wonder how stoneage man ever managed with Windows. Maybe they invented fire by rubbing two PCs together?

Seriously, do those pictures look like a quiet studio at the mastering stage?

I'd say it's obvious from those photos that the new album will be out next week. Either that or a bootleg of it will get leaked sometime in the next 5-10 years.

If not the new album than at least a single or the reissue. I'll take anyone one of the three.

Does anyone else feel like throwing their head back, screaming AAAAARGH! and stamping their feet at the same time?

I usually wait a few days to see if the updates mean anything before i do that.

New video posted on YouTube!

Actually it's a still video to an old track, Ray of Zdarlight but it's on the official Avs channel, so it could be a sign of movement!

Hell of a lot of twitter action today, probably the most exciting bit so far though:

Looks like we finally have a name of a song from the new album.....

the album was finished was it not? would it make this song a b side?

I'm presuming it's a picture they took a while ago and they've only just published it now.

I'm sure Modular said there had been a wrap party. Maybe it's the single getting the big treatment?
