I pre-ordered this from flyingout (using my points) so hopefully will be here soon.
Also note that Anika Moa has a new album out soon too (as has Rhian Sheehan).

Biggest selling album, by a NZ artist, of all time?

hayley westenra sold way more copies of "pure"
20 weeks at no.1 cf. drive's 3 weeks en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_number-one_albums_in_New_Zealand_by_New_Zealand_artists drive - beautiful collison - birds makes a great trilogy. with the christchurch and dave dobbyn/tim finn live albums filling out a wonderful catalogue. the drive cd sounds great so will wait for early buyers' reviews before ordering.

You can all thank me for taking one for the team.
Its OK but not really worth the full asking price. The SQ is mediocre, and the pressing is similar, with some quite tolerable but low level noise. The CD sounds clearer, tighter and more full in the vocals. Disappointing, not recommended. Anyone want to buy it off me?

The only thing I can see is CDALTICON? or CBALTICON? in the deadwax.
No info on the cover.

I've given it three cleans in the US machine, and its still crackley but the dynamics seems to be restored to some degree.
Its not sounding so muffled, compressed. CD still sounds better but at least the gap is decreasing!
