6 MARCH 2013: CD SETS OF VINYL-ONLY RELEASES NOW SHIPPING
Thank you to everyone for your patience. Our two website CD sets, Reqiuem and Everlasting, and the 'Azkadelia' CD single, are now shipping after manufacturing delays due to a faulty master disc and loss of the second master disc in the mail. Here are some photos of the finished products.
2 MARCH 2013: CD SETS OF VINYL-ONLY RELEASES NOW AVAILABLE
We’ve had a lot of requests for IKON material that was only available with the recent vinyl releases, so we’ve decided to make a small amount available as CD sets exclusively through the website.
The ‘Requiem’ 3-CD set ($30.00), the new ‘Everlasting’ 2-CD ($30.00) with the Flowers for the Gathering demos and the final live show performed with Michael Aliani from 1996, and the Azkadelia 7”, released as a CD single ($15.00) comes in a digipac. All three are available for $60.00.

IKON's new website download compilation, a collection of rough demos from the Flowers for the Gathering sessions in 1995-96 is now available for download on our audio page.
These demos have never been made available before, and were not included on the deluxe re-issue of the album. Chris only recently re-discovered the DAT tape that contained these versions. Enjoy!
The next IKON single 'Azkadelia' will be released as a 7" with a bonus CD containing additional tracks.
The single will be available in May from this site, with pre-sales available from Mayl.
Thanks for Roberto Massaglia of The Victim's Ball for the cover design.
