[edit] Sales figures

There is no exact information available about sales figures for each album. However, John Kilbey from Karmic Hit published some official figures: each release sold between 5 and 27568 (as of August 18, 2005). The 5 probably is the Fire Down Below EP, a test pressing with only a few items produced (rumored to be 5).
