The symphonic version sounds interesting.

Great news, although I wonder why it's via (hip label) Kompakt. I hope they distribute it via the PSB website as Kompakt is based in Germany which means that in the USA we end up spending an extra $10 on shipping for a CD.
I'll still get it, but German postage is the most expensive in the world...

What, some glib and unfocused act of pretension by the pedestrian Taylor-Wood? One would hope not surely.

His remix of the Blank and Jones/Bernard Sumner track wasn't bad. It sounded a bit like New Order's 'Perfect kiss'.

that track Thrill Her on his my space page sounds good. If you read his profile seems like he had quite a bit to do with JD and NO in their early days

Not as long as it's released on Kompakt. A "PSB release" must be released through EMI.
