Yep, bought it yesterday. Excellent stuff. The only niggle I've got
concerns the packaging. I unwrapped my CD, only to have both CDs fall
on the floor. The packaging is a simple two-fold rigid cardboard
sleeve, but the CDs are (supposed to be) held in place by little
cardboard studs. The trouble is, my cardboard studs had dropped off,
so I'm left with two CDs rattling & scratching around a cardboard case
that doesn't fully close.
Duphonic have acknowledged the problem and recommend holding the studs
firmly as you remove the CDs. Only problem is, the studs will most
likely have worked themselves loose before you even remove the
shrink-wrap. You're advised to invest in a tube of strong adhesive, or
wait until the jewel-case version is released (the cardboard one is
limited to 48,000 copies).
As for Warp's connection -- I can't see any. Warp were making a big
deal about it on their web page, even giving the album one of their
catalogue numbers, but I can't find any hint of Warp on the album's
packaging or in the credits. The copy I've got (UK) was released on
Duphonic (and has a Duphonic catalogue number) through EMI. Overseas
versions are being released by Elektra, so I can't quite see what Warp
were going on about.
