Worth It
I will second the initial reviewer's comment about disc 2; it's fairly worthless as it's music you already know with the vocals dropped out. If you can find this, it is absolutely worth the outlay of cash. That said, disc 1 is astounding, and I'd pay $29 for track 2, "Heaven" alone. It's ethereal, gorgeous and unnerving all at the same time. The following few tracks have a distinct War Stories feel ("rock" influence, so to speak). From track 8 and out it's a mid-tempo 4/4 electronic record with much more sonic impact than most. This is really some amazing stuff, and I never get tired of listening to it. And again, track 2 is one of the most gorgeous songs I've heard from anyone, not just the collaboration that is UNKLE. .


Expensive, but great music.
It's WAY overpriced though-- the second disc is worthless as it's only instrumentals of War Stories, but disk 1 is great. Recommended if you like the War Stories album. Again, it's overpriced, so only get this if you have the other Unkle releases. .
