Just listening to them now. The JDB piano version of Critical Thinking is worth the price alone.

Christ, the album already discounted to £4.99, maybe they think they're in for a shot at no.1. I will never say no to a James piano version.

Edit: That Critical Thinking piano version, James's voice is doing strange things to me.

I was actually wondering if James had kept up the piano playing…

That piano version of Being Baptised is very nice. Also confirmed to me that People Ruin Paintings is one of the strongest songs they've done for quite some time.

Nice companion to the album. Some of the songs that wash over me (i.e Hiding in Plain Sight) are refreshed here.

Maybe we can have a casio keyboard version next time or something.

By an amazing coincidence, the period you can buy those piano demos (and a copy of the album) in expires at the same minute as this weeks album chart closes.

What are the chances?

They must know already that it’s a tight one for number 1!
