I dont know if it is available on vinyl but i
did check this release out last week and was
very disappointed. the music was decent abstract
electronica in the tortoise/to rococo rot vein
but the vocals were what made it so bad. On
this release tikiman attempts to do more 
singing (as opposed to his small vocal bits on 
the burial mix/r&s releases) which ends up
sounding more like Massive Attack on a bad
day than anything Tarwater or Tikiman has
done in the past. Tikiman's vocals on a few 
of the tracks even sounded r&b-ish which
was even more of a turnoff to me. the bottom
line is listen before you buy. if you're buying
on tikiman's past rep alone you'll be 
disappointed.
