IKTN is lovely but not one of the best James acoustic ballads.

good lad, Ostopolitik is by far the best thing on the entire bundle!

Probably because it's a love song by Nicky which I still think is weird!

I'm liking the b-sides:
I Know The Numbers is up there with Morning Comrades for me as the best James acoustic song.
Lost Voices is decent, with a nice riff in the chorus
Ostopolitik is great, it should be JDB's latest Goal Of The Month track....
I'm Leaving You For Solitude is ok, nothing special though
Distractions is classic MSP, with a simple but brilliant solo

I'm happy enough with them all.

I didn't read the thread before I posted my previous post, clearly great minds think alike!

Still waiting to hear 'Lost Voices' and 'I know the Numbers'. Probably next month, when I order the other CD.

ooh, is there a way to get a digital I Know The Numbers? i mean, i can't buy an mp3 of it if it's for sale that way, but if it isn't is it OK to do so and has someone done a vinyl rip? as much as i love my stereo, i can't take it in the car with me!
