Do Not Listen (2007)

The all-new limited edition Tim Halbert album Do Not Listen is now available on compact disc priced at £9.99 in the UK and $24.49 internationally (with free postage and packaging). Click here to buy it! You can also download individual tracks or the entire album from iTunes.

An hour-long eclectic mix of electro-cheese and heart-stopping ambience, from the robotic double-act prelude of Saving It Up and Automaton to the atmospheric meanderings of Nothingacre and Excremental Intermission; from the embarassing Chinese synth-pop overtones of Underground Beijing to the infectious jazz seeping from the pores of Only the Green Pen Works, Do Not Listen is sure to take you on an undeniably unique musical journey. Whichever stop you choose to get off at, however, is entirely up to you...

The album includes full-length versions of many popular tunes from the Tim Halbert website, as well as the eagerly-anticipated soundtrack to Flash hit Stick Avalanche 2.

Why is it called "Do Not Listen"?

Reverse psychology or something.

How can I buy the CD?

You can pay for the CD by debit/credit card or by using your Paypal account, and we'll send the CD directly to your postal address. You may have to allow a couple of weeks for international delivery.

I live outside of the UK. Should I buy the CD?

We would recommend downloading the album instead of buying the CD if you're living outside of the UK. You'll save quite a few bob that would otherwise have gone on postage and money transfer fees, and it's faster as well! Of course, there's nothing like the genuine article to prove that 'you were there first', really, is there? (It's a limited edition.)
