I do believe the new single is arriving in stores today/tomorrow.... in the same shipment as AUGUSTINO'S DEBUT SINGLE 'INTO THE GRAIN'.... so maybe you can all take a trip out to the nearest music store tomorrow and buy a copy of BOTH. Right on.

So, much for the 21st release, but hey it must be gospel if Steph says so (you work in a music store don't you!?).

Damn! I have no money until Thursday! I went and bought No Doubt's new single today.

My 2 pairs of coloured contacts came in today, so that's another thing I must get on Thursday.

It can sometimes take an extra day to get to towns outside to main centers, due to courier timings etc.

It always pays to ring ahead.

Anyway, even though the pages won't be updated until tomorrow, here's the audio samples for the b-sides;

Thankyou so much for the link and samples! They will do nicely until my on-line order arrives!

thanks very much for the samples. What does everyone think? I like the verse part of the mix of all it takes, but not really the chorus.

Are you basing that on the sample, or the full song on the single.

Best listen to the song in its entirety before passing judgement...

going by the sample, the chorus is a bit of an anti-climax, i like loud choruses, ones that catch your attention, i love the remix though.

Steph, I took your word as gospel! I was too let down, I went into Tower Music (I have a friend who works there) and Sounds in Wellington and they both didn't have Stellar*s new single. I was dawdling on my way to pick up a clients airline ticket. hehe

hmm. I got the taken single today. Nice cover artwork.. using the whole theme of magic line.

Taken, and the acoustic version are very good of course, as always expected!

I am undecided about the 'all it takes' remix. I guess it is good, but it's not my kind of music. there are some cool parts in it thought! e.g a bit right before the chorus, and the scratchy record effect around the beginning. But overall I am not a huge fan of the remix. but love the the other songs.... lets get it to number one!

trying to do this as innocently as possible...

If any of you guys are still looking round for the Taken single... keep an eye out for the Into the Grain single from Augustino.... breakthrough song...b-sides are fabulous... much love from me if you buy a copy and support a band that deserves the recognition!

I got my copy yesterday! I rung up my friend who works at Tower music and he told me they decided not to order it or something about a deal with their Sony rep! He told me to try Planet Jack.com and they had Taken! I'm listening to it at the moment.

Lucky I went to PlanetJack.com cos they had cd1 of Cherry Lips by Garbage!

Hi Guys

I like the acoustic version of Taken, and the remix of All It Takes is good, it's growing on me. I liked the homegrown remixes from the Mix singles. House of Downtown, International Observer (Tom Baileys pet project).
