I ordered a few days ago and had the links two hours later. Jep you should mail them.
Done and solved 
Great response from Rob.
Great response from Rob.Here is the answer I got after mailing Tigermoth : " Thanks for your order… Yes there are 5.1 FLAC, but only available when you buy from the bands web site… Obviously the Cd/DVD has the DTS 5.1 files… which we’re hoping to start shipping monday. BUT here you go…"
I'm very grateful, and from now on I'll order directly from Tigermoth

Ordered mine a few days ago and just got my email with the download link, downloaded and listening to as I type...liking what I am hearing so far.
I'm hoping that Rob will compile all of his solo EPs and mix them into 5.1 - Willow's Song, In Dulci Jubilo, Floral Dance, Doctor Who, David Bedford Themes (and any other off-cuts I've missed) There are quite a lot of demos/ alt mixes, etc. on those releases so once those tracks are removed there are about enough to make a nice album. (I do have a 5.1 Flac Willow's Song, that I think Rob gave away for free?)
That would be cool! Rob surely seems like the kind of fellow that has a TON of stuff recorded and stashed.

I’m just giving this album a listen, and I like it a lot. As it’s been a while since the last post, can anyone confirm that the 5.1 download is still offered, as there is no mention of it on the tigermoth website?
Also, I see there’s an option to purchase it with the Secret Wish ep. I’m presuming that this ep doesn’t come with a 5.1 download (wishful thinking on my part)?

I bought the 5.1 dvd a few weeks ago and was never sent a download link. Here's where you can buy the dvd, which is excellent, both musically and surround wise:
Chimpan A
Chimpan A, released in 2006, was a project featuring Rob Reed (better known for his work in the prog-rock band Magenta), and two members of country rock band The Storys: Rob Thompson (guitar) and Steve Balsamo (vocals). All were based in South Wales. Rob Reed, Rob Thompson, Steve Balsamo Balsamo...
The Secret Wish and Sam's Song from the Secret Wish EP are in surround on the DVD.
I believe the free download was with the pre-orders only
Very much enjoying the surround mix on this even the extra tracks on the disc are fantastic.
Rob does seem to get surround mixing all very tasteful

Of all the 5.1 sound engineers I've worked with, it's fair to say that Rob is the one that gets it most right first time. He's a perfectionist, he often writes with surround in mind and he uses all speakers as full range speakers. By the time I get them, his mixes need very little work.
