Zenglen CD Release “5ieme Vitesse”

The most anticipated album of the year, 5ieme Vitesse, has already made an impact because Zenglen fans have been hungry and famished waiting for this pinnacle moment for the group. As the first Zenglen album with Kenny Desmangles at the helm as the lead singer, everyone has eagerly held on to their seat patiently.

Fans in the New York City area were suppose to receive the first taste of “5ieme Vitesse” this weekend and it saddens us to announce that a serious delay has occurred with the album. Though we have worked around the clock to attempt to fix this retard it has been almost impossible to expedite our order.

Here are the facts – The factory that handles the production of the album Q-Paks was asked to have the order ready and delivered no later than February 28, 2008, to ensure that the proper distribution were to occur in conjunction with the album debut in the month of March. After several phone calls, visits and a final confirmation, the factory has delayed the our order until April 11, 2008, due to the limited availability of the type of album packs that we requested, which is one that needs to remain to lower the possibility of unlawful duplication and inevitable bootlegging.

In the interim, we are offering our most sincere apologies to those who were expecting the album, we know that in the HMI there are always issues that will arise during a popular release and this is the time that we extend to the fans a giant “Sorry” but in the matter of the factory, it is totally beyond our control.

The album has been ready since February and is truly worth waiting for, thus we encourage everyone to continue showing your support and concern and you will not regret it.

TropiKal Records thanks you for your unrelenting patronage not only of our efforts to create superb products, but to the perpetual encouragement you give to the bands we produce.

Zenglen will be on tour promoting “5ieme Vitesse” starting this weekend, with or without the actual album available, they will give everyone a taste of what to expect, so please look out for them in a state near you very soon.
