Mark H. turned me on to Twinklehead also. Mark emailed me offline and tipped
me to http://www.zailor.com who has the CD though you have to work your way
through the non-english site.
I also found the CD here, and they list the release date as Sept 3, 2005.

I'm not sure why the website says that, as I first heard Twinklehead in
November courtesy of Auditeer Mark Hershberger, who had a copy of the CD. I
guess he may have had an advance also, but I have a feeling that both of us
have the actual release.
This is one of the issues with ranking albums by year of release with which
I often wrestle. When I used to do my lists in the '80s and '90s I used to
be a real stickler for accuracy (i.e. I would go to great lengths to make
sure I knew in which year an album was released; if I thought an album was
released in 1989, but I found out it was actually released on December 31,
1988, I would redo my list). These days with so many "self-releases" and
albums coming out on boutique labels (like Twinklehead's Rec 90), the
concept of a "release" has changed and has become more varied. Now, a
release date can be either:
a. when a band or label basically feels like saying the CD is "released"
b. when it is available for purchase on the band or label's website c. when
they do a "record release" show d. when Not Lame, Jam, or Kool Kat receives
it e. when it's on the internet for download
and a few others I'm not thinking of right now.
For this reason I believe there should be a bit of bend in the definition of
release date, which is why, for example, that if a band "releases" an album
in December but I don't find out about it until January, I count it as being
released in the latter year.
Of course, your mileage may vary. :-)

Take Care,

I know is nothing compared to a lot of bands/entities, but it feels good
nonetheless).
