23/20 CONTINUES TO SPREAD THE WORD!
The long awaited 20th anniversary album is going on selling: it’s a double format limited edition, either as a deluxe digipack or a numbered edition gatefold double vinyl, with each format sporting seven exclusive tracks and nine common tracks (16 tracks per format, 23 in total), together with completely different sequences.
Here’s the list of contributors: Claudio Agostoni, Andrea Marutti, Mark Solotroff, Karyn and all Crisis members, Ephel Duath, Raiz, Bill Laswell, Zu, Xabier Iriondo, Lorenzo Esposito Fornasari, Gudrun Gut, Toshinori Kondo, Thomas Fehlmann, Professor Shebab, SH Fernando/Wordsound, Martino Nicoletti, Antonio Denti and many many others!
We’re going on taking orders for the vinyl edition on the basis of “first come, first served” (please note that, once sold out, the vinyl edition won’t be reprinted in any way).
Regarding distributors and retailers, please take note that we won’t give more than a limited amount for “regular distribution”: again, the earlier you request your copies, the better, as we’ll privilege direct web sales and long time Sigillum S fans...

A NOTE FROM SIGILLUM S REGARDING PIRACY AND ILLEGAL DISTRIBUTION OF OUR WORKS.
Please read carefully.
Lately we discovered a lot of sites that illegally distribute our works, it's more than evident that many people are into our sound outputs, especially those from the early years, but also the latest ones. naturally this makes us proud but...now starts to be too much.
This situation started some years ago on a very modest scale but now it is literally going out of control as we could find our complete discography on the web for free with a lot of people reviewing and commenting single items in the most natural way.
Most of the stuff is shared and placed on blogs by the very same people who once bought our records and think they are free to handle them in the way they prefer. Read the comments and discover by yourself.
These are just some examples:

We're aware that there's no way to stop piracy and illegal distribution of intellectual property,
Those who claim to have a way to do it are just loosing their time and are very likely stealing money from labels and artists promising something that can't be done. At the same time, we're not condoning this behavior at all as:
a) it is illegal
b) it is stealing from us
c) it is preventing us from earning money, money we use to survive like all small and experimental project/bands.
So we decided to take some actions in order to try to moderate the above matter if not, in some extreme cases, stop it.
As above...
Eraldo Bernocchi is now partner and artistic director of RareNoise Ltd, a record label and media company based in UK that will handle all of his projects including the reissue of the whole Sigillum S back-catalogue. Every published Sigillum S item will include additional rare and unreleased material in order to give people added value for the money they'll spend on these special editions.
As below...
...here come the rest of the plan, those who understand please spread the word for those who don't.
Liber AL vel Legis
Aleister Crowley
Chapter II
26. I am the secret Serpent coiled about to spring: in my coiling there is joy. If I lift up my head, I and my Nuit are one. If I droop down mine head, and shoot forth venom, then is rapture of the earth, and I and the earth are one.
27. There is great danger in me; for who doth not understand these runes shall make a great miss. He shall fall down into the pit called Because, and there he shall perish with the dogs of Reason.
Our best whishes
Sigillum S
