I got my copy earlier this week, and I really like it.  The tracks are shorter, and not as complex, but that’s not a bad thing.  I think this is a great album.  All the tracks are in my head at some point of the day, especially those wicked basslines the funky harmonica, and the frightening synth sounds.  I usually can't wait to get home and have a smoke and another listen.  I liked the funny bit after Gee Strings, and was surprised there wasn't more of it.  It seems like Alex is getting more serious, and has lost a bit of his humor we all have come to love, as well as getting a bit lazy by not mixing the tracks together, what was up with that?? TheOrb.com website mentioned 13 tracks, anyone know what happened to MasterBlaster?  Was this the track with Jack Dangers?  Now I can't wait to hear these tracks live!  Hopefully when the rest of the world gets a release there will be a vinyl version available.

Cheers
