is this happening to anyone else or did i just get a bunk cd case?

PS: frickin awesome CD james.

Your assumption is correct. Check the booklet. The correct tracklisting is in there.

it's good to be different and use various tools to mix but music wise it all sounds like a fuckin computer game soundtrack to me, I've seen James live he puts on a good show but still, I get excited for 5 seconds in the beginning of each track on that album that's it I like the jumpy funky tech bass lines whatever you wanna call it but still it just doesn't take me anywhere

I didn't really like AliVE but i just picked up Utilities from the store for $10 to see what it was like. WOW, I am really digging this album. CD 2 is especially wicked. GREAT JOB JZ

hahahhahha actually I'm in Taiwan and I purchased the CD at some night market cd shop. Turns out some company produces these cds in Taiwan and that is why its so cheap. Some imports however like the GU series are about 30 bucks.

GOod thing about Taiwan is there is no sales tax so Utilities for 300 NT (~ $10 USD) is an awesome deal

Hey James,

All I can say after your weekend in Hungary is that you are amazing...the uniqueness and the freshness of your music just gets everyone going...

And since this is a CD review, I have to add is that the same goes for your CD - but that was not a surprise at all. Keep it going buddy!!

-Dan

like tracks 13 and 14 on cd 1

13. Abysm - Future Love
14. Nicolas Vallee Presente Silvertone - Theme From Silvertone

Picked up the cd today. Best cd that Ive bought in quite awhile. I really enjoy reading what he did on the second cd while listening to it.

Stand out tracks for me:

Solid Gloove - This is Sick
Nicolas Valle presente Silvertone - Theme from Silvertone
Hugg and Pepp - Snabeln

Then the mixing and technical skills on the second cd from Captain Hook to Gyromancer blew me AWAY. I wish I could scratch like he did on Gyromancer.

Ive been meaning to buy a Zabiela cd for awhile now because of all the people that worship the guy. This cd may make me become a large fan as well.

Pfft, Seattle has first dibs. He didn't even make it up this year. Even then it would've been 21+.
