SXCD: Silhouette Series CD player to be released July 23rd

SXCD CD Player

Please accept our sincere apology for the protracted delay on the release of the much anticipated Silhouette Series SXCD two box CD player (499kB).

More than 2 years have gone into the development and finessing of this high quality unit, only to face unexpected delay on account of the discontinuation of critical components by one of our suppliers.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing however and we feel fortunate to have been made aware of this before releasing the unit. Nothing would have been worse than to have to make changes shortly after release. We have been busy selecting new components, relaying the PCB, and rewriting firmware.

Circle July 23rd on your calendar and write Perreaux SXCD next to it.

Lucid3 - Dawn Planes (2007)

Lucid3 - Dawn Planes

The songs on Dawn Planes, Lucid3’s third album, were written between New Plymouth and Europe, where Victoria has spent time in the last two years. The songs are in keeping with her characteristic writing style, but she has made use of more traditional song-writing tools. Marcus and Derek’s rhythm section and contribution to the music puts the distinctively Lucid3 stamp on the tracks. Dawn Planes is released on May 28.
