Thanks for that, Graham - downloading now. The clips on their site sounded intriguing!

EDIT: Shame they're not too choosy about characters in filenames - I'm unable to extract track 5 using either WinZip or WinRAR.

Hi

Something I spotted (purely by chance; I accidentally used WinZip to open the archive) and thus I thought I'd note it in case anyone else has any issues with the downloaded file:

When I open the zip file using WinZip, I got a couple of errors about track 5 (and there is no track 5 in the WinZip-opened archive). When I instead used the WinZip 'extract to here' facility, I still got a couple of error messages, but track 5 was now in the unzipped folder (so that latter method works okay).

When I instead used 7-Zip (my normal utility for zipping and unzipping files) there were no issues or error messages using either method. I'd actually recommend folks try 7-Zip; it's shareware and I think that in some ways it's actually better than WinZip.

Yep, I used 7-Zip earlier and it was fine. The problem is due to a '/' appearing in track 5's name.

Same issue, but finally got there; downloaded twice.

Not my taste though, interesting album, bit like reading a dictcionary - some beautiful words but not much of a story.

The MAC Archive utility handles it without a hitch

It does - mainly because the character in the filename (the forward slash) isn't supported on DOS or Windows. Probably be ok under Linux too, I'd guess.

Tried this. Not my cup of tea. For me, band's name is entirely apposite.

I have downloaded it too last week and got the error on track 5. Will try the other unzipper soon. Not my cup of tea too.... anyway, nice to see the trend.

Cheers
