I can't stop listening :) Yet to pick out my initial faves. Think I need another listen or 2... Any old excuse, eh? ;)

Yeah, there's definitely a certain momentum that builds up over the album as a whole. Slap it on and let it loop round a few times on repeat and it really goes up a level.

The bag is branded with an HMV logo but it IS black and white so kinda fits the day's theme!

For anybody buying their Tales Of Us from Amazon that wasn't aware, the AutoRip service doesn't download all your music to your device but stores copies of eveything you buy from them in the Cloud. You then download a program on your PC or…

So, it's on Virgin 613 at 11 PM tomorrow? Yep, seems like it - that's when I've set to record anyway!

Just went and bought my vinyl from HMV and got a free vinyl/laptop carrying bag! Bonus!

Just took a photo of my lovel new vinyl but can't upload it from work - will do when I get in. Loving the huge poster - took me a moment to spot Alison in her black outfit on a black night! Nice bonus is that I got a free material vinyl/laptop…

You could download the files, put them on a CD and play that. (Carpy, i think Peter said he *does* have networking.) Ah, yeah - oops! That's what comes of me doing tech support at work on one monitor and sneaking time on here on the other mon…

Yeah, just clicked your link and got in fine. The other alternative is to find the email you had from them to confirm your order - there's a direct link back to your account in there. Once you use that, look down the left hand side of the page…

I think it was a cathartic experience but it has definitely taken its toll on me both physically and emotionally. The one good thing about that is that you still care so much. I often think that the pain of memories like that are a beautiful d…

I'm happy (or should that be Frappy?) that it's finally proper bona fide UK release day but not so happy I'm at work - really should have thought ahead and booked the day off!

That's a shame, Pet, but at least you know it's on the way. AutoRip does work pretty well normally but, as you say, you're a bit stuck with sound AND network issues. Hope you get the proper shiny disc soon :)

Cheers, Sir Sartori of Data Land. I was watching the time at 9ish then it all went pear shaped at work then it was way past 9:30. Oops. Good to see somebody was on the ball =D>

Not the best... As a fair few of you will know, I Cracked my rib on Saturday whilst mountain biking.. I've got to drive from brum to Oxford today in agony to get to a job interview... Which I'd rather not postpone. If anyone's driving…

Well, Carpy phoned sandbag and I believe they told him 9:30 ish tomorrow morning. Exactly that!

I've only got 1 "download" left - for my WAVs. I just hope to crap it's actually available at 9:30! I don't think they could argue if you rang to ask before trying to push it back to 5 again. After all, nobody has been able…

Well, several listens later I'm a little bit in love with this album. I think we're gonna be very happy together :) I played it none-stop for a 12 mile walk up the north east coastal path this morning. Beaches, cliffs and sea to the ho…

Does the booklet indicate which instruments are used in each song ? I wanna know for Simone, since it looks like the most sumptuous track. There's quite a long section - the standard band and what they played, specifics outside of that for ce…

I just wanted to confirm that the 24-bit wav files are not, as of yet, available to download, correct? Just checking before I click "download" in the email. As mentioned earlier, Sandbag had said that they should be actually activated t…

What Are You Eating?
A teriyaki salmon Bento at the new Japanese restaurant in the city centre. Miso soup, sushi, sashimi, pickles, rice and some of the best teriyaki salmon I've probably ever had. So amazingly melting yet with a nice near-crisp skin. Oh, and two …

DELUXE BOX - Updates & information
As have the digital downloads, i'm assuming in response to the problem with the phantom links. It's weird - their cds and vinyl turn up ahead of release date (great) but it took 24 hours for them to start fixing the digital mess-up since…

It's like your ears wandering into an all-encompassing Giallo / noir hybrid - mysterious, dramatic, beautifully paced and utterly engrossing. Very glad Alison has rolled out a whole swathe of MumbleVoice™ too - just feels more intimate and inc…

So, first complete spin while tucked under a duvet, uncompressed WAVs through my trusty open-backed Sennheissers. Wow. Absolutely clear now, in its final studio form, that it truly is its own thing. Yes, it shares more with FM and 7T than the rest…

Oh yuk. Imagine the damage to your teeth. Yeah, they'll be in great pain from the smiling. Just had a few slices - it's really, really gorgeous. The little hits from the bits of sour cherries are perfect.
