It looks like the first album has recently been reissued--but only on vinyl! This seems to be a new trend with many of these obscure electronic bands of the early 80s:

I'd be curious to hear what they sound like. I might pick up the LP. Who would you compare them to?

actually, just found the label's site, and they have sound samples:

They have released a good amount of early 80s mimimal electronic bands on vinyl for those who are interested.

It does seem like a missed opportunity to release it in a digital format as this would increase the scope of their potential audience though it does look like the reason they're doing is to cut down on piracy (such as it is).

I did ask Rik Quay if there was any chance that the album could be released on CD or as an MP3 download in the future but just received a non-commital answer.

perhaps its on vinyl because of the "feeling , relation" to that music. I like vinyl more than CD because its not so sterile.

here is tense:
