Sadly, I think the Starflyer albums are doomed to the same fate as the most of the Tooth & Nail back catalog. They've got a reasonably sized cult following, but nothing nearing the size needed to motivate one of these repress labels to jump through the hoops necessary to deal with Universal's licensing department. A lot of old Tooth & Nail bands are finding this out the hard way. Ronnie Martin is in the process of reissuing the first Joy Electric album, and it's $32 to compensate for the financial burden of licensing the music he wrote and recorded himself. mewithoutYou had to cancel their repress of Catch For Us the Foxes because the per-unit cost was going to be like $8/unit or something for licensing alone. The lesson here is that money ruins art.

Someone needs to catch the ear of an SRC/ETR style angel investor label that's willing to sink money into albums that are good even if you didn't hear them in middle school, and bug them to put out the Starflyer albums.

if you guys are fans of old starflyer, you should really think about picking up the new native lights record. i've heard it and it sounds very reminiscent of early starflyer. the band features jonathan ford from unwed sailor and bryce chambers from ester drang. they're only pressing 300 copies on vinyl. http://www.nativelightsband.com(kinda NSFW)

Thanks for posting this. Looking back, I missed your original post about this album PO. I definitely like what I've heard so far. I ordered the Blackwater 7" and the new LP.
