You should be, it's worth.

Re: Henry Saiz 'Balance 019'

Got it yesterday, only listened to CD2 and first half of CD1 so far.

First impressions? Not too impressed if I'm honest. At the minute I can't recall a moment where I have said 'Yes, tune, need to play that again'. Seems a little 'arty' at the moment. Was really surprised to see that about 90% of the music is Henry's own stuff.

However I wll give it at least 3 listens over the next week on my commute to see if my opinion changes.

It's not terrible' just not 'amazing' yet.

Can I ask why you would listen to CD2 first?

Re: Henry Saiz 'Balance 019'

No reason to be honest. Just fancied a change. I usually whack on Cd1 on a new release but decided to do things differently this time.

I purchased from JB Hifi online on Tuesday... and it still has not been shipped! I followed up and they said I should receive it sometime next week, but they can't guarantee it. Checked site again and it says "awaiting stock". I swear I don't remember seeing that.

WTF?!

Re: Henry Saiz 'Balance 019'

I had the worst experience ever with JB online ! Started out like you, went on for six weeks with them claiming no stock, even though I had spoken to Balance [EQ/stomp as it was then ] and they had plenty of stock. I had paid with a gift voucher. And i really had to fight for a refund. Absolutely the worst buying experience ever.!!!!!! It was SOS Balance, I figured out later that they just don't want to order in unless they have a substantial order. That's not likely happen with a small Aussie company.

Have they taken your money yet? Most don't until they ship. If they haven't, cancel as fast as you can. Balance are shipping in a couple of days. People are actually receiving in a couple of days . Apparently JB retail here haven't ordered yet .

This would probably be good for anyone. You actually have contact with the guy who runs balance.

Good luck !!

I didn't know I could buy direct from balancemusic.com. Damn!

I have paid for it already. This is bad.

Re: Henry Saiz 'Balance 019'

Do a charge back . If they can't supply they should be happy to refund, but it is JB.

To be honest I wanted it for the weekend, which I won't get anywhere else. I'll just have to wait for it now.

Unless I can download it for free somewhere in the mean time...

Re: Henry Saiz 'Balance 019'

^^ You would at Profile but it will cost you more.

It's worth waiting till you can hear it in the best way possible. As of yesterday JB hadn't ordered so I doubt you will get it next week either. Check out the thread in the prog forum on ITM

This is what Balance had to say yesterday

Guys,

Distribution is handled by EMI, so there is no issue with stock being available. Unfortunately, I've been told that JB Hi Fi are yet to take a head office allocation (national store order),

This is only what I would do, I would get it the fastest way possible which is either Profile or Balance. Then hassle JB for money back . Or hassle first whichever Or as someone in that thread suggested, enjoy the anticipation

They really shouldn't have taken your money, I ordered mine from HMV ages ago, it came out of my account 2 days after I got the shipping notice .
