I dont know if it is available on vinyl but i did check this release out last week and was very disappointed. the music was decent abstract electronica in the tortoise/to rococo rot vein but the vocals were what made it so bad. On this release tikiman attempts to do more singing (as opposed to his small vocal bits on the burial mix/r&s releases) which ends up sounding more like Massive Attack on a bad day than anything Tarwater or Tikiman has done in the past. Tikiman's vocals on a few of the tracks even sounded r&b-ish which was even more of a turnoff to me. the bottom line is listen before you buy. if you're buying on tikiman's past rep alone you'll be disappointed. -->-Lance--- mclance@nacs.net lance@inaudible.com p.o. box 450715 westlake, ohio 44145 united states
