"new" MMW album Free Magic

[mattstick]

MMW dip into their archives to present a collection of recordings documenting their first-ever acoustic tour in 2007. The set, stretching out over five expansive tracks, captures the three intrepid improvisers exploring the telepathic hookup and deep groove sensibility that has defined MMW since its inception in 1991.

Track List:

Doppler
Blues For Another Day
Free Magic/Ballade in C minor, 'Vergessene Seelen'
Nostalgia In Times Square/Angel Race
Where's Sly

Is that Ballade in C minor an original?

ETA: Nevermind.

.....before segueing to Medeski's Chopin-influenced "Ballade in C Minor."

Thank you so much for ordering Free Magic on vinyl; we love vinyl and we're very excited to offer our new release in a superior format. Unfortunately, we've run into major delays. You may have heard about how the Beatles albums are being reissued on vinyl, just in time for the holidays, and you may have also heard about the subsequent back up at the very few US vinyl manufacturing plants. This has caused many small labels' releases to be extremely delayed. Well, that's exactly what's happened to us with Free Magic.

We can't apologize enough!

We've been trying to get a ship date from the plant, but they haven't been able to promise anything. We're as disappointed as you are. However, you WILL get your order, we promise. We worked hard to make the quality of the vinyl stellar and we won't rest until it's in your hands. Hopefully, it won't be long now.

Thank you for your support and patience!

Much Love & Happy Holidays,
Team MMW"

On the line with MusicToday now.
My Order Number doesn't bring up anything when I try to pull it up on the web so I picked up the phone and have suffered through a ton of DMB hold music.
Indistinguishable from muzac aside from the shit vocals.


ETA:
Much horrible music and a chat with a nice lady with a VA country accent later and I have gotten verbal confirmation that the mutherfucking Beatles are fucking our shit up from the grave.
Good news is, she upgraded my cheap ass to overnight shipping which means some dude will drive it up to my house after work once they finally have records to ship out.
