i am special - i have a number

and that number is : 1697.

basically, today i received the lovingly packaged promo for the forthcoming coldcut album : sound mirrors, (out end of jan'06), with the warning that the cd is watermarked with a unique number so if i upload/copy it then the bods @ ninjatune can whup my ass.

thing is, there is no fucking way i would do such a thing. i aint into all that gubbins, but i feel kinda cool to have a number.

and the album ? it's a total headrush. dropping the cut-n-paste madness that they are best known for, the lads have crafted a gorgeous set of tracks that is epic in sound and ideas. full review tba of course.

for more details and pictures on the rather nice packaging look : here (the cd is housed in a cardboard 7" single sleeve, which has a cutout in the shape of the silhouette that seems to have become coldcuts new 'logo')

crack'on
