According to White Wolf: "These are the first songs written and played by Matthew P. Davis. "Drifting Across The River was recorded in 1995 and, as such, is the first album ever released for unknown reasons." Sadly it's limited to 100 copies right now and the price is jacked up by a bunch of crap I doubt anyone actually wants. What am I supposed to do with the postcards? Mail them to other dungeon synth aficionados? Anyway, I'm still excited to hear this one! I've missed out on all the represses/compilation releases so I snatched it up asap. I'm sure it'll be good!

I had some at DSZ #3 (like Erang poster) but people had choice between this and regular edition, and I agree the price for this Secret Stairways is much too much already, especially with the shipping. I bought the second run of Enchantment/Turning Point only because it's a must and I didn't have it before. But this one I'm definitely skipping.

I guess they included all the extra crap to make it feel less like you've been suckered out of your (read: my) money If it is actually just 10-minutes worth of stuff, it probably should have just been included as bonus tracks on one of the rereleases. What a waste.

Thanks for the link, lucan! Shame this release is so short but it's really nice to hear something new from Secret Stairways. I quite like how bear bones the tracks are too, it gives the whole release a real ambient quality.
