Big fan of Gardot, have her two previous albums (and Charlie Haden Quartet West's Sophisticated Ladies), and The Absence is excellent.
BUT, Linn's prices are a joke |(
Never mind that the 24/96 costs £18, the 16/44 costs £10 - TEN POUNDS for a CD-quality download! Cheeky [edit] gits!
It's ironic that tucked away in Linn's blurb is a recommendation to backup one's new download by burning to disc. Ah, OK, so £10 for the 16/44 and the cost of a blank CD/DVD, plus the hassle of burning.
Or there's the the CD version - with a booklet and a case! - from Amazon et al at c.
£8.99 :doh:
