Stu,
I quite like it, it's different.
Quite a bit of surface noise in places (Classic pressings for you), I did not know it was blue when I bought it!!
I got it from a record shop I used to go to, but have not been to for a while. He has probably had it stock a while!
I read somewhere it was limited to 1000 copies.

Angus and Julia Stone
A good weekend's listening, centred on my latest haul of secondhand CDs from Record Collector:
Nau Ensemble: The Eternal
An interesting classical take on some tunes from "Closer". Very listenable, if a bit one note in its mood of desolation (one of the great things about Joy Division is that they rocked hard in between all the doom-mongering).
Craig Taborn: Junk Magic
Free-ish jazz, with dashes of ambient electronica, a bit like Food's recent effort on ECM. Played very quietly late at night but it sounds promising.
Phronesis: Alive
I'd forgotten about this, so just as well it turned up secondhand. Excellent live album which makes me want to go out and buy the rest of this trio's work. Not as energetic (i.e. "rocky") as I expected from thereviews, but this is a good thing as far as I'm concerned.
Terje Isungset: Two Moons
I think this is one of those CDs where all the instruments played are made of ice! It's a cold clanky experience as you'd expect with farty (ice?) trumpet sounds and (I guess) Inuit singing on some of the tracks. Good mood music, but I found it became repetitive over the course of an entire album.
Cuarteto Casals: Metamorphosis
A programme of works for string quartet by Bartok, Ligeti and Kurtag. I'm sure it's very fine, but not quite the right music for a lazy Sunday afternoon. I will try again when I'm feeling more energised!
Between the above CDs I've been dipping into the complete organ works of Bach (Erato box set, played by Marie-Claire Alain on baroque organs). Small though they are, my Harbeth P3ESR's do an excellent job of rendering the spirit of this mighty body of work. It has never sounded better on my system.
