Update on the Aural Hypnox online shop situation
The shop is already finished, but unfortunately I still can’t open it. The last couple of weeks have been spent wrestling with the PayPal plugin, and no solution has been found to get it working. Well, the problem would have been solved a long time ago if someone at PayPal had actually done something! This has been extremely frustrating, and I’ve decided that if this isn’t resolved soon, I will remove PayPal as a payment option entirely and switch to Stripe. Unfortunately, because of this, the shop will now open only at the beginning of January — which might actually be a good thing, considering the postal issues we’ve had in previous years around Christmas and New Year.
There will be no new releases in the catalogue when the shop opens. I will, however, continue working on the releases that are in their final stages, with plans to bring them out within the next few months. Some new items will still be available — namely the new Unfyros album “Star Blood” and the related t-shirt, released by Avantgarde Music. The album will be available on CD and LP, and the t-shirt has been printed by Aural Hypnox. Additionally, a limited number of embroidered back patches will be available.
In addition to the Unfyros release, I went through my personal Aural Hypnox release archive and concluded that it needs to be reduced. I once thought that for the 30th anniversary I could create a comprehensive Aural Hypnox box set, which is why a few copies of various titles were set aside after each release. But space has become a real problem! Because of this, a small number of old, long sold-out Aural Hypnox “classics” will be available for purchase. If your collection is missing some of the earlier releases, this might be a good opportunity to complete it. More info will follow!
I’ll end this long message here and wish you all a deep and silent turn of the year.
Best regards,
