Interesting. Ordered for tracks 01, 09 and 11. Hopefully I’ll find something new in the others too.

Haha – thanks Coxy… Think there will be plenty of other stuff you’ll dig on here… Glad you like the concept too – now you know why your CD rack came with that mysterious bottle shaped hole in it… Ole ole!

Well I honesty have never heard of this band before just now but I’m thinking of ordering this just because it’s so incredibly awesome! Maybe I should listen to some of their stuff first though… Plus ordering overseas usually takes forever.

Me and my son, er, Theo, particularly like the Apples song and it has been on repeat since the map arrived today. Just a quick question – are the boys singing ‘Theo, where could you go?’ or as my missus reckons ‘Theo, where did you go?’. Please feel free to post a response if I am right, la. Cheers.

Do you really have son called Theo – that’s mega
I’m sure Apples would be pleased!
It is an epic song indeed, and although i couldn’t say with absolute authority – I’m pretty sure the correct lyrics are “Theo, where could you go?” –
I shall endeavor to find out post haste… Oh, and if you like apples, check out their song reason 45 on their myspace – it’s solid gold pop hit

Just got my copy this morning, so far it’s excellent!
I loved the bottle idea more than anything.
