Sadly, I don't think Amazon ever offers the extras with their mp3 downloads. They are cheaper, though, so it kinda balances out.

didnt know this thread existed cuz i suck at searching for threads, amaaaaaaazing album though... wish she would tour in the states
― tropical beards of paradise (san frandisco), Friday, 30 January 2009 22:10 (fifteen years ago) link
Srsly, I haven't liked an album this much for a long time. At first I was unimpressed, it was just quietly rippling intimate unassuming, but over more listens it has kept growing and growing.
― StanM, Saturday, 31 January 2009 23:44 (fifteen years ago) link
And ILM's very own Max drew the cover, how awesome is that?
― StanM, Saturday, 31 January 2009 23:49 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah, i wish i could take back any criticisms i made earlier in this thread. i'm now completely in love with this album.

this is pretty much my favorite album of the decade by now.
― poortheatre, Tuesday, 24 February 2009 14:54 (fifteen years ago) link
just listened to this for the 1st time. it's good, but nowhere near as immediate as deep cuts/silent house. songs are less distinctive & distinct from one another -- hooks (to the extent that there are any) are much more subdued, textural. so, a mood piece. a few standout tracks: "if i had a heart", "dry and dusty", "keep the streets empty for me". <333 "coconut" builds slow but pays off okay.
a lot of the rest is a bit too vague, tastefully atmospheric for my crude tastes. "i'm not done" actually kinda killed me with boring, even with only half an ear tuned. perhaps the whole thing will grow on me, but i dunno. i tune out quick.
― welcome little swetty (contenderizer), Tuesday, 24 February 2009 19:45 (fifteen years ago) link
i tuned out kind of quick on the first listen too. after being initially impressed, that is. but after a few songs, it sounded a little monotone, and she kept hitting those notes that she likes to hit. i should listen again tho.
― Surmounter, Tuesday, 24 February 2009 19:54 (fifteen years ago) link
Only half of it is actually good. I have never been able to listen to it completely needs more sounds on her palette.
― Moka, Tuesday, 24 February 2009 20:03 (fifteen years ago) link
wrong, listen again, wrong
― pro bowl was fun (omar little), Tuesday, 24 February 2009 20:05 (fifteen years ago) link
think i agree with previous 3 comments - was v impressed when i first heard it, but it never hit me/sunk in as i expected to, 'if i had a heart' apart. i'm not done giving it chances yet though.

― lex pretend, Tuesday, 24 February 2009 20:05 (fifteen years ago) link
^^^^ i think people who don't like this have bad/boring taste in music
― tropical beards of paradise (san frandisco), Tuesday, 24 February 2009 21:38 (fifteen years ago) link
that's funny, cuz i figure this record will appeal most strongly to people with fascinating opinions about "good taste" lol
― welcome little swetty (contenderizer), Tuesday, 24 February 2009 21:46 (fifteen years ago) link
not hating, but the A+ design factor is v high

are you talking about the cover illustration i did
― max, Tuesday, 24 February 2009 21:47 (fifteen years ago) link
nuh-uh. but cover illo is ACE and looks nothing like charles burns.
