Read about this album; Dark was The Night in the paper yesterday. Mouth-watering lineup of exclusive tracks on double CD. Release is Feb 16th, and it is for a good cause too.

My pre-order is in!

Had mine a few days. Quite a low-key compilation but I can certainly distill one pretty good album from the pair of CD's. The Yo La Tengo track is very pleasing, there is a little gem from Iron and Wine and several others have caught my ear. Also an execrable version of 'Amazing Grace'. I hate that song!
