I imagine the other tablets have the shiny black back. I'm not opening them to find out.

Ladies and gentlemen we are floating in space

"Ladies and gentlemen we are floating in space" by Spiritualized is one of my all time favourite albums of all time.

Released in 1997, I bought the original CD in its glorious one-disc pharmaceutical packaging. But I still remember covetting the limited edition 12 CD blister pack on the shelf behind the register at Fopp, a snip at £120. Alas, my poor student budget could never stretch that far.

This year, the album was re-released with the original "can't help falling in love with you" mix of the title track (which I heard once on the Mary Anne Hobbs Radio 1 show, but which had been removed from the original release due to the expense of including the Elvis tune & lyrics). And part of the re-release was an all-new blister pack.

I had to own it.

It arrived today. The attention to detail is as loving and amazing as I could have dreamt. My 20-year-old self would be proud. $225 well spent.

A CD or two

This is what my desk currently looks like, as I continue powering through ripping my CD collection. I'm in the middle of the 'S's.
