The XII single 'More' w/ 'Before' is now available - debut single 'Virtue' is still available and now it's b-side 'Solitary Sanity' is available too (was exclusive to iTunes for a long time)

The album is still listed as forthcoming, only a few weeks left to wait.

details are here: http://www.xii-official.com/

So, the XII pages are all down and there's no album after all.

Monkeys

My post provoked a response from XII.

I must apologise for calling them monkeys.

Sincerely. I didn't mean anything malicious, it was merely a sign of my frustration.

As I've been anticipating their album release for over a year, I was thrilled to learn that it would finally be available yesterday. However, as mentioned above, their bandcamp page is down ATM. That page and 'themesforancients' have been taken down and put back up more than any other that I frequent, and I believed that the release had been pulled and that all activity had ceased - especially as the XII section on these pages had also been removed.

While I have no idea what is actually going on, I was surprised and delighted to see a message from XII which included info on downloading the album as well as an unannounced EP entitled 'Behind the Veil'.

Track list for the EP:

Before - 'Conscience' Mix 03:14
Tales Of The Rope - 'Core' Mix 03:02
Solitary Sanity - 'Lock Down' Mix 04:09
Virtue - 'EKO' Mix 04:47

EDIT: The 'Behind the Veil' EP is completely instrumental - 'Virtue' is simply incredible!!!

A BIG thanks to XII for setting me straight, providing links, and for making such good tunes. Here's hoping that XII will be able to continue recording in the future, as their album shows how talented they are.

I'll get my coat now...

@XII - you have disabled pm receipt so I am unable to respond personally.

Dammit, I really wanted to buy the instrumental EP, but yet again their webpage has disappeared - and the EP is not on iTunes or elsewhere. they're certainly making it difficult to be a XII fan

so I bought the album on iTunes and am enjoying it, but I'd still really love to buy those instrumental tracks. anyone know where I can find them??

I have requested news, via their management address, regarding any recent developments and hope to have something positive to report here soon.

@ ojopaj: I mentioned your plight. I'll pass on anything by way of a reply when it comes.

I've had no reply to the email I sent.

I hope XII are still a going concern.

I just found this.
