Thanks. She won't tell me how much it cost. She bought it from the states, she's quite savvy though so I'm sure she got a good price .

The past two hours or so have been filled with these two double CD sets:

On CD:-
BBC Radio London DAB. Listening to West Ham v Chelsea. After 25 minutes, no score

On compact disc, "Metanoia" by Porcupine Tree.. . . .
Hi Pixies.
Hannah's voice is definitely a recommendation on its own, just like Nico's(without the accent!). Their sound is similar to The XX, the songs are wrapped in guitar "flicks" and Portishead-like atmospheric beats. Check the net for videos, etc... I can guarantee you will fall in love with Miss Reid's voice though. I think it's worth getting it!
Best,
Tony
10 song playslist using track gain just the right length to get me out of my work stupor.

Ulrich Schnauss - A Stangely Isolated Place
Freshly delivered today from Amazon. I ordered this on the strength of Tales of Us and others' recommendations about it on here. Although new to me it has a strangely familiar air. Darker and less conventional than Tales of Us but I'm liking it.

Yes. A fantastic record label.
Extremely evocative, the bleak northern industrial landscape and the freezing northerly wind leap out of the screen at you.
and now exploring this again on my main source, I wasn't cool enough to have this on original release getting in to REM with all the other shiny happy people. Sounding much better than I remembered.
Not everyone one can carry the weight of the world.

...Although new to me it has a strangely familiar air.
Well, 'Lovely Head' was on a mobile phone ad around when Felt Mountain was released, and I've often heard fragments of other tracks on trailers and documentaries and so on, 'Utopia' borrows an Ennio Morricone riff, 'Pilots' owes an obvious debt to John Barry's Bond themes, etc...
So, you quite possibly have heard more of it than you realise on first listen!
That would explain it. Thank you, CC.
