Also, how do you find it in the iTunes store? (I have an iTunes voucher which I am struggling to use, so I'll try the a digital one before investing in the whole phsyical series).

To be honest I have no idea - I don't use iTunes.

The label gets the same (tiny) cut from digital sales no matter where they are: the cheapest to buy is from Amazon, though I would always recommend paying a few extra pence and going with one of the independents that still also stock physical products: Juno, Bleep, Boomkat etc - support your local (online) record shop!

I'm one of these peoplethat doesn't like paying for music unless I'm getting the phsyical thing (which I do quite often). Hence trying to use iTunes voucher (which doesn't feel like paying :p)

I searched "Balkan Colour Series" and "Balkan [x colour]" but couldn't find anything :/

is it possible it's only available in some countries?

Not sure. Depends on how they deal with the metadata. perhaps search by artist name?

bought the plaid track directly on the iphone its ok but not extraordinary. still great to have new tunes.

Cheers, that worked :). It has the album name as the colour of the release; I.e. Instead of "Balkan Red" it's just "Red"

I guess I'll just roll a dice to pick which one to get.

i think it's really good and quite extraordinary. :)

listen to it on repeat for a while. it's full of real subtle Plaid beauty, like a lot of their tracks.

they don't often grab you immediately and might sound kinda (deceptively) simple, but when you listen a few times you start to hear

all the other intricate stuff that's going on underneath aswell!

drums are hard as hell and quite Dub Steppy-like. melody is sweet but strong. love the arpegies towards the end, too. :)

another stunning piece of Plaid genius really, imo.
