just got the 2xCD with my border's xmas gift cards. WOOHOO. I've been loving this album since day one. It was my poolside music during beautiful summer nights, and it's got a soft spot in my cd player during starlight drives into the city.
I agree the packaging for the 2xCD is pretty retarded. You have to be houdini to get the cd back into those cardboard cutouts. but hey I paid for the music, not the packaging...and thus a happy camper.
Sasha is definitely one of the few EDM artists who doesn't get criticized like an armin, tiesto, pvd. simply because his critics have nothing to say...he shuts them up with flawless transitions, brilliant track selection, and impeccable studio work.
10/10
Album o' the year bar none, there's not even a close second bleep on the radar. |

So should I join the Sasha-gang?:nervous:
I must say, impressive music... Very inventive and groundbr... OW CUT THE CRAP. I'm not into this music, and I may never will be. Or maybe I will have to listen to it more often to like it. So instead of putting "Aphex Twin - Drukqs" or "Ferry Corsten - Infinite Euphoria" in my CD player, I have to take some more time to sit down and listen to this one... mmmhh...
Perhaps my statement WILL stay the same: "Pretty boring music compared to what's usually in my CD-player:o" and all those uber-pretentious people who are praising this one in heaven:wtf:
Will I become one of them?:nervous:
I will have some more listens, though:toothless |

| Went to Virgin and they have the 3 versions: Normal, Limited and Special. Are the liner notes (booklet) the same in all 3? I've heard the Limited Edition CD's booklet has separate card for each of the tracks liner notes. The same liner notes which appear in the other 2 editions? What's inside the Special Edition CD? So the only difference in the 3 editions is the case (normal cd case, pillow-type package and ... plastic bag (2CDs))? |

If i remember right, even the case of the "Standard Edition" isn't a standard jewel case but a cardboard box sort of case with a regular inlay booklet. Limited Edition is a magical transparent plastic box thingy which is too big to fit in about any cd shelf or storage system.. but it has the separate detail cards for each of the tracks with Sasha telling something little about each track as well, what why how he chose them, what he done with them etc. And finally the Special Edition is a 2CD edition (with selected unmixed Sasha remixes over the years on disc 2) digipak with a non-user-friendly disc attach system and a regular booklet attached to the case, all packed in a silver plastc bag just like the SE of the vinyl edition too. |

Well I have the Standard Edition, and that too has the individual cards for each song on the album, as described by GrimReaper, so I assume that this is the case yeah.
This album is cool by the way, my favourite tracks have to be Spooky-Belong (although this may not be the best remix of Charlie May's production according to some, this is the first time I have heard Belong and so has made a great impression on me) and the mash up of Petter- These Days and UNKLE's What are you to me?
Incidentally when I was on holiday in Greece in August, the first two tracks of this got played in a Greek cafe-bar place, which was a pleasant surprise, as was hearing "Wooden Swordz" everywhere lol :) Shame the cafe ppl decided to change tack with some more "commercial" music lol.
End of ramble, cheers,

I have the standard edition and the liner notes are a booklet on shiny paper like most other cd's. Sasha describes every track in the notes, and it sounds like it is the same for the limited edition as well, except the liner notes of the limited edition are made on thicker card stock as individual cards. I don't know about the liner notes of the special edition 2xCD though. |

Just listened to this again while writing a paper on personal integrity and the flaws it illuminates within utilitarian ethical systems.
Still as brilliant as ever, and somehow it seemed particularly appropriate to hear "On My Own" while working on this project.
And I still say that trying to do this over again would be a crime against humanity. |
