Andrew Liles Site
The Liles site lists an upcoming title of Somnambulance To Dream General.
Klanggallerie , as referenced in the comments (thanks again for keeping me honest:) and had I done proper sleuthing would have readily found, has this to say:
"Originally released in a microscopic edition on CD-R only, this masterpiece is presented to you now as a proper Cd with stunning artwork. Three bonus tracks have been added to the original album and what you get is Mr. Liles at his very best! Planned as a collection of obscure and leftover tracks, Somnambulants is an amazing testament of Andrew Liles' skills as a modern composer. A must-have from this member of Nurse With Wound, The wardrobe and The Vortex Vault."
Indeed. Had I known this would see the light of day in a new pressing, I STILL would have purchased the CDR. Fantastic sounds amid minimalist piano and more, Liles lists this title's rerelease as Winter 'o7, while Klanggallerie has early '08. Either way, definitely a piece worth seeking out.
Excerpted tracks are highlighted with an asterisk (*) on the above listing.
So, please give a listen, as this alchemist of sound wends his way through the everyday, finding and extracting the extraordinary. And be sure to keep an eye out for the release of Somnambulance... It'll be limited to 500 according to Klanggallerie.

Somnabulance is being re-issued by Klanggalerie with three extra tracks. Seeing as the original release was planned as a collection of obscure and leftover tracks there might not be any additional work done on the re-release. In light of this being put out again it might be advisable to take this one down.
Advice heeded. Thank you.
Folks, I'll leave the entry up, but not the link, at least for the complete album. Perhaps an excerpt grouping in a few days, as I feel this is a superb collection of sounds meant to be heard.
As always, not trying to skirt the law or take monies away from artists I respect, just induce others to listen to something they previously might not have.
