Okay...I've only listened to it once...so I can't really give a full review, as yet. But so far, I'm loving it. Classic Kate, Fred and Cindy. (They sound as great as ever.)

But what really impressed me at first had nothing to do with the music.

I pre-ordered the album on vinyl because...well...I like vinyl. Only thing is...I was concerned that I wouldn't be able to hear the entire album for awhile because I'm super busy right now and don't have time to listen or rip the vinyl.

But I decided on vinyl, anyway. (It's a limited release - you gotta get those while you can.) I figure I can always buy a digital from iTunes if I'm that eager to have it in the iPod.

So I get the album home and...as I'm sliding the platter out...out slides a CD in addition to the vinyl. And not just a CD...but a CD with tracks in both regular and mp3 formats.

Bloody friggin' brilliant, that.

(Are you listening Prince? You give away free CDs all the time, anyway. Why not tuck a few of them into some well-mastered 180-gram vinyl records next time? Hmmmm?)


More on the music tomorrow. I plan on listening to the entire album - uninterrupted - on my way to work.
