Downloads. I always forget about those things. I think that RYM release date is for Denmark. Discogs shows the same . The North American release date (via Cargo Records and Forced Exposure) is 12/1.

Patrick O'Hearn ~ The Private Music of Patrick O' Hearn (1992) [Compilation]

I don't know why, with the internet, there should be different release dates for different regions.

Frank Black And The Catholics - Pistolero (1999)

 

[Pops]

I don't know why, with the internet, there should be different release dates for different regions.

I believe it is due to the shipping time from Europe to the US, which runs about a month or so for large deliveries like boxes of vinyl. The records are pressed in the EU.

[Nickyboy]

William Orbit ~ The Best of Strange Cargos

What is that like? I know his name because he produced/co-wrote (?) Madonna's "Ray of Light" album. And yes, I will say here that I like that album, but not her other stuff. So, I figure the difference is him. Yes? How familiar are you with him? Anywhere in particular to start?

I would suggest any of the first three Strange Cargo albums or Strange Cargo Hinterland. Why? Because those are the ones I have.

I think anybody who has a passing interest in House or Ambient Techno would like some of them.

I am currently listening to:

William Orbit ~ Hinterland (1995)
