A word of warning though - this was recorded in an art gallery, so the acoustics were terrible. The recording is actually better than the live sound on the day though. Big echoey white walls may be great for hanging art, but they aren't so good for reproducing those soft intimate Make It Then Tell Everybody tones that you've grown accustomed to.
