    The mesopelagic zone is sometimes called the “twilight zone” of the ocean.

    I’ve been wanting an album of Manorexia chamber music since those videos of it hit the Internet! Ecstatic!

    I like the artwork, but it looks much different from your other releases. Is it you who did it or somebody else?

    Actually, the artwork seems to follow in line with other Tzadik releases. I don’t think Thirlwell did the art for it.

    The artwork is in the “format” of the Tzadik composer series. I chose the image, which is a digital representation of a bacteria.

    Mister thirlwell, you are just a model for me, giving me courage to make the music of my mind, and my mind is such a mistery for me, that make it exciting to explore. I m a caribbean man, living in Paris with my russian wife and our babies, but i still love my former tunisian wife, mind mess.My new wife loves girls too, oh God. We love Tanaieff, Rimsky Korsakof, Mars Volta, The neptunes, Ravel , Dr Dre, Allison Schulnik, … You.

    I like the cover and look forward to the music. Interesting that it has ‘JG Thirlwell’ on the cover as well as Manorexia, or perhaps that’s in line with the composer series too.

    Yes that’s right.

    I was unsure of whether to preorder or wait and buy it later, but the samples convinced me to go ahead and purchase it. I can’t wait. mmm….

    You have too many releases to keep up with! You are one of my very favorites and clearly one of the greatest composers of our time!
