I see that Recordstore.co.uk put up a picture of the elusive gem:

I might pick it up to see what's on the cards if they have some of this version at Best Buy today. :)

Yeah ive the pillow pack. The cards have the name of each of the tracks on them and Sasha taking about why he like/picked/them etc...

The pillow pack is just trying to be different which is fine, its just that it won't fit in my cd racks!

Buying CD's isn't really about if it sits in a CD rack. Sort of makes a statment; which follows through to the music.

Exactly the same here. The pics look nice - it's cool to see what his 'working area' looked like.

Pillow pack

yeah, I received mine yesterday. Really nice "pack" The CD is ok, slow and ambient pretty cool.

The whole "packaging" is very very original. Love the whole layout and design. I give it a 10/10 for originality and a 6 1/2 out of 10 for "user friendly"... that thing is a bit difficult to open & close and ofcourse it does not fit in any cd rack.

I got my Pillow Pack yesterday and its nice. Sure its inconvenient but the artwork and the pictures are awesome. Plus the cd is superb so thats a plus!

#207249Post 12 of 24

For anyone in the UK, the pillow pack is available at Virgin for ?13.99, just ?2 more than the standard cd.

#207253Post 13 of 24

Would this be considered the "Limited Edition" that is on Amazon?

#207267Post 14 of 24

Picked it up in a high street store, thought it was the standard packaging. Didn't realise it was limited edition stuff.

#207283Post 15 of 24

So am I correct in assuming these "cards" are basically an unbound CD inlay booklet? That's what the picture appears to depict, and I got the regular version this morning and the CD booklet has one page dedicated to each song describing why he picked it and how he edited. I'm guessing it's the same thing aside from being bound and having a regular square shape.

#207288Post 16 of 24

I'm considering getting this. Is the limited edition on Amazon more expensive?

The limited edition version is actually a dollar less than the regular version on Amazon right now.

...

I?m still waiting for mine.. although I know that the package may suck, i?m a fool for "limited editions"...

#207984Post 19 of 24

If a CD wont fit in the CD rack, I just refuse to buy it dammit!

#207985Post 20 of 24

sounds like a snoozefest

#207998Post 21 of 24

nice idea, but a complete pain to keep it all together

#208048Post 22 of 24

I don?t like this Limited Edition - is the first time that I wish I had choose the normal CD version. And I must say that I?m not really like "Involver". I have me promised more from this mix. I?m disapointed about that.

#208051Post 23 of 24

The packaging may be pretty lame, but the cd is a real grower. it gets beter each time you listen to it. will be on constant rotation this summer
