Looking for Like a Velvet Glove Cast in Iron soundtrack MP3s

I know there's a soundtrack to the Daniel Clowes's neo-classic graphic novel Like a Velvet Glove Cast in Iron by Victor Banana (pseudonymous for Tim Hensley). The actual album is sold out and no new copies will ever be made (according to the the record label Jenkins/Peabody website), but i really want to listen to this music even if it's in MP3. I´m looking but i can´t find it. Someone can help me out here?

I have low bitrate (96kbps) copies of Like A Velvet Glove Cast In Iron and Value Ape if you want them. I can't remember where I found them (could have been either a download or over p2p) but I can send them to you if you have an email address that will take files of ~1.5mb or access to an FTP site.

I don't think the tracks are particularly good, by the way. Campy lounge / psudo-jingle muzak that fails to do justice to the strip.

Oh, great that you have those! Finally someone does. I don´t think my e-mail support 1.5Mb (it´s a yahoo e-mail). Do you have Soulseek? Maybe I can get it from you there.

I got some other songs by this Tim Hensley guy and i liked but it´s notthing amazing. I guess i would like more if it´s connected in some way to Velvet Glove.

I've got the entire soundtrack burned to CD. I forget where I found them through, but I think it was a link posted here. Do a search at the bottom and see what you turn up.

dix, keep an eye on this thread because I'm gonna have the Mp3s for you soon; they're at my wokplace. On Monday I'll post them here.

About the music: I found it eerie, creepy, sometimes funny and sometimes disturbing. "Laura" is like Jandek for comics with its lyrics: "all she needs is a needle of gruel to inject at the tip of the spine/ Go on and shoo, please get lost, I have no formula...", I mean, *WFT*, gentlemen??
"The House Of Forever" also very dark and sad. This is like some track out of "Sweatin' to The Addams Family Favorite Tunes". Etc.

Sorry, didn't think to check back on this thread until now. Looks like you have everything sorted, but if you still need copies of the Like a Velvet Glove... and Value Ape tracks, PM me...
