POTENTIAL RIP-OFF:

There's a copy of the rare XCEL 7" currently on ebay. Anyone interested in it should note that the pictures posted of the item come from 2 separate old auctions archived on popsike. Maybe the seller's just lazy instead of dishonest, but anyone thinking about bidding may want to contact the seller and ask for pictures of the copy actually for sale. The item's also in Italy, which gets more complaints about lost packages than the entire Wester Hemisphere combined.

This is pretty insane, considering what it used to sell for.

Yes, but it was limited to 80 copies, so most folks never had a chance to get it.

Wasn't that supposed to be a gift from the band or they have stopped sending gifts to their friends?

Should be.

Anyone have their contact or a place to hear them? I can't find any way to listen to these guys.

That's the point.

Do a small search for this band in our forum and you'll discover some quite interesting things.
