I've been full of anticipated joy since I pre-ordered the box set & art print from uwlive on July 27, like a child looking forward to Christmas, but seriously, as I write this there's almost nothing left of this feeling. I even don't know Barking yet, because I wanted to enjoy all the physical stuff I paid for while listening to it for the first time (like I always do). So much for pre-ordering directly from the artist. What a disappointment.

There's also an appalling lack of useful, personal communication with the disappointed and worrying customer. In more than 25 years of (pre-)ordering music from all over the world, all in all this is by far the worst experience I ever had. I just hope this nightmare will end with a delivery that's complete and not damaged. Whenever that may be.

I don't care anymore now. I started looking forward to the new CDs by Killing Joke and The Orb (feat. David Gilmour!). Best thing is: I know I'll have them here on the respective release date. I'll order from Amazon.
