I ordered the "Memories From Nothing" CD from Plastic Head when the limited edition double-disc package was anounced. I got it in the mail yesterday (11/05/2008), a full week before the official release date!
The packaging is absolutely stunning, from the cover art to the liner notes; everything looks professional and polished. I've just now popped in the first CD to have a listen... and the album is amazing so far, just like I knew it would be. It's worth the wait to finally hold it (resting in my hands, just like a firstborn unicorn).
I have to say thank you to Andreas for including all of the demo/ep tracks on the second disc. What a treat for the fans! I played the two EP's and demo tracks into the ground when I first discovered them online several years ago, falling in love with them because they reminded me so much of Dan's best work. And I remember waiting so patiently for the album to come out, checking the Another Life site every few weeks to see if there was any news or update on the release date. And that was what, over two years ago when it was first announced? Now that it's here, I know I'll be playing these tracks again and again until I know them by heart. Thank you Andreas!!!
An amazing and worthy addition to my Swanö library!
