The album was given to journalists to review but one journalist leaked it online in April and the album dispatch was also delayed. However, as an apology those who ordered it from Boutique IAMX were treated to an acoustic version of 'Running' which Chris filmed in a corridor of his own apartment building. This clip was later included on the CD-ROM of 'My Secret Friend'.

gollark: Question: I wish to interact with """matrix""". However, due to synapse memory use bad, I can *either* have a working homeserver thing with bridge support (for APIONET and whatever) or a somewhat experimental one without that but which will not utterly consume all RAM ever when joining big rooms.
gollark: Anyway, see, concepts like "esolang" and "not esolang" have fuzzy boundaries so trying to insist that something is or isn't or give a highly rigorous definition is no.
gollark: Lisp is so wondrous that minoteaur is to be inevitably unfinished and rewritten in it.
gollark: Homomorphic encryption? It isn't very production ready yet.
gollark: IPv6 is necessary for optimal osmarks.net access.
