Oh dang, sorry that happened. I know I'm the dude who linked ImportCDs  :-[ They came through with BITE import with no problems, but now that I recall, I might have order a month or two after release day...

I still need to officially purchase 'No Geography'.

I just got a turntable and played the 3LP versions of EoD and Bangom like mentioned, EoD finished on a crash sound and Bango has a really neat loop added at the start

I received my CD today. What's the point of preordering if it's to receive the damn album 11 days after release, honestly? It brings zero advantage, it's more expensive than getting the thing at the shop the day of the release. I'm glad I didn't preorder the 3xLP, it was 50€ on the official store (iirc) and I bought it for 40€ in a shop on the day of the release.

Hmm, I was under the impression the 3LP was an official store exclusive? 🤔

I thought so too, but I found it at the FNAC

Yep same for EBW12. For those of us who were able to walk into a decent record shop, it was possible to just buy it as soon the official release date arrived - with no postage charges. Meanwhile, some people here were still awaiting delivery from the Universal store weeks later.

I assume everyone got their pre-order by now. I got my CD last wednesday.

I think the only reason why they couldn't ship it earlier or before the release date is because of leaks .
This is up there. Like, Star Guitar up there.

Did anyone notice that the clouds "make" a head?  Is it from the clown?

I can't remember which post mentioned this but the clouds we're taken from another band's album (with permission of coarse) so I don't think its a clown, but it is definitely a face

Liner art - Godley and Creme's Consequences. It's a concept album and it ties into the themes of the music
Never for money, always for love.

Verdict after one month: I'm loving this album more and more.

Page 5 of this thread I spot the face followed by Sneaker providing a good link to the original concept album artwork.
...'cause I don't like whats going on in the world. I'm scared of that...

Album has been listened to almost every day for the past month.  I adore every bit of it.  So warm and beautiful. 

Is the 3LP still available at any online store (besides discogs)?

I had an immensely stressful, time-sucking past month that I won't elaborate on here. So we took a sort of long-ish drive to get away for a night this past weekend, which presented the opportunity to listen to this album more than a couple of times on our way there. 😊 Felt good. I'm still liking the way this album makes me feel.
Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.

Yes, me too. It hasn't gone stale on me yet. Good music is music you like to go back to. This is certainly one of that kind. I guess the most played tracks so far are Eve (reg. + dub), NG, TUSM, CMIF and MAH (and the rest :D).

It's been a long, tough month, No Geography has been a nice constant. Glad to have this album to add on to the ones I can keep going back to.

Hey, it's nearly 6 months since release!

I see some of the prior posts (before the question I'm about to pose) are still feeling the vibe of 'No Geography'. But I'm curious, does anyone have some additional thoughts or changed feelings about the album? Where does it personally rank now that it's fully assimilated into our blood stream?
