I unwrapped my CD, only to have both CDs fall on the floor. The packaging is a simple two-fold rigid cardboard sleeve, but the CDs are (supposed to be) held in place by little cardboard studs. The trouble is, my cardboard studs had dropped off, so I'm left with two CDs rattling & scratching around a cardboard case that doesn't fully close. Duphonic have acknowledged the problem and recommend holding the studs firmly as you remove the CDs. Only problem is, the studs will most likely have worked themselves loose before you even remove the shrink-wrap. You're advised to invest in a tube of strong adhesive, or wait until the jewel-case version is released (the cardboard one is limited to 48,000 copies). As for Warp's connection -- I can't see any. Warp were making a big deal about it on their web page, even giving the album one of their catalogue numbers, but I can't find any hint of Warp on the album's packaging or in the credits. The copy I've got (UK) was released on Duphonic (and has a Duphonic catalogue number) through EMI. Overseas versions are being released by Elektra, so I can't quite see what Warp were going on about. /\/)ark http://www.sonance.demon.co.uk/
