I think today is the release date for the US version of B&T - although pitchfork website says it's due out on August 3rd so maybe I have the UK version?? I went to Tower Records today and saw about five or six copies and none of them said "import" so I think it's the US version. The cover has a brownish tinge to it so it was easy to distinguish it from the Japanese version. Just listened to the first two tracks on the way back to work. I'm glad they chose not to start the album with that stupid "From a Distance" song. I wish they would've dropped Gee Strings. I've said it before and I'll say it again now - worst orb track ever!!! Man, do I hate that track. I'm curious to give it a full listen to see if I like it better than the japanese one. Also picked up "rest proof clockwork" by plaid. I've never heard one note of plaid's work and I picked this up soley on the opinions I've read on this list. I have a gut feeling I'll like it. Can't wait to get in the proper state of consciousness tonight and give it a listen. -matt _________________________________________________________________ Get fast, reliable Internet access with MSN 9 Dial-up now 2 months FREE! http://join.msn.click-url.com/go/onm00200361ave/direct/01/
