According to Ricochet, the Blue moods album will only be released in South-East Asia :-( However, let's hope it will be released in the rest of the world eventually.
I talked to Ricochet last week, and they were just finishing off the American tour dates for Incognito, so hopefully I will be able to present a complete list of dates soon. Meanwhile, do note these events: (Thanks to Chad and Terri for the info)

The instrumental album called Blue moods has now been promotionally released in the states. The album has also been released in South-East Asia with a different track list than the upcoming European/US release.
For those of you Europeans who still haven't got a copy of the US 'Beneath the surface', it can be ordered from some of the online CD stores, such as CD Universe.

Finally, the waiting is over... 'Beneath the surface' is now released in the US (as normal price). And what's interesting is that it contains two new tracks that did not come with the European release, 'Sunchild' and 'All that you want me to be'! I have not yet heard these songs, but I can imagine that it was worth the waiting :-)
The next single to follow 'Out of the storm' will be 'Hold on to me'! It will feature some awesome remixes done by Simon and Bluey. I'm really looking forward to getting my hands on it! :-)
Early this spring, two greatest hits compilations with Incognito will be released; the first one containing vocal songs, and the other one with only instrumental songs.
Bluey is currently working on his solo album which will also be released this spring. We're looking forward to hearing it!
It is now confirmed from local agents that Incognito will not perform in Australia, as planned before :-(
