As I recall, in the 'iPod database' the first contribution of somebody, even wrong and/or with typo's, stay there forever. I'm not sure if even the contributor can change this. This happend to a release of a relative of mine; he found out that he could not change his own! released album because someone else had already added the release.
Hope it helps,

for some reason, my copy does not have the song 'Echo and Bounce' on the CD, However, when I put it on my Ipod, It showed up as 'velvet pants' and it shifted all of the songs down so all of the song names were the names of the track that came after the current track. also, the song '360º (oh yeah)' is the regular track on the CD but on my Ipod, it is an instrumental version. very strange.

This is the album that turned me on to breaks. I bought it essentially because of "History Repeating", and when I put the CD on and pressed "play", I fell in love with the rest of the album. While breakbeat is the dominant genre, each track has an identity all its own, and gets sprinkled by influences from other genres as well. Will White and Alex Gifford seem to have a lot of influences and to enjoy lots of different types of music. My only problem was that some of the tracks repeated the loops one too many times, as if I was expecting a new break to come in, but the overall result of the album is so good I don't care about those minor details. Thumbs up and heartily recommended.

Like the style says, this album is very bigbeat. The Propellerheads
use odd sounds, turntable scratches, a piano, an organ and energetic
danceable beats to create funky, groovy music.
Not all tracks are in the same style, some are chillin' and some are
swingin'.
The track with Shirley Bassey doesn't fit on the album if you listen
to the other tracks but its a good track, her voice just fits the
music.
The James Bond theme track ("On Her Majesty's Secret Service") is an
excellent Propellerheads translation.
