Time Stand Still 8. God Blinked (Swing It Sister) 9. Mr. PC 10. She 11. Nothing Is Ever Lost 12. Saint Sahara 13. Who Killed Rock N Roll.
Management has given the okay to offer fans a 1 minute MP3 preview of the bonus track - Who Killed Rock N Roll.

Time Stand Still
There is also one more difference between the European release and the general and specialist retailer releases in the USA. All North American releases will be in the DigiPack packaging format, whereas the Angelmilk Records release will be in a standard jewel case format.
Manufacturing is currently underway and we are on target to make the official Friday, August 1 release date in the UK.
Due to various circumstances, including summer holiday periods, a few of our European distributors have decided on alternate release dates.
Those dates are:
Scandianvia (Zink Music) - August 13
France (Mauvaise Herbe, subdivision of Bad Reputation) - August 20
Switzerland (NonStopMusic) - August 8
