Reviews
I have the files and on Themes 3 Unreleased I can hear the cuts between the tracks, which is quite annoying. Does anyone know if the official download (off the CSR Bandcamp page) can come as one single file (or several but) without cuts ? As per the CD itself, can anyone confirm no cuts can be heard between tracks ? thank you. Apart from this, this is a MUST HAVE compilation...- Great to have all the Themes material in one box. The original Themes and Themes 2 are fantastic. But I guess die hard fans will have those already. To be honest, the additional material is pretty poor, especially Live in Basildon, which seems to of been recorded on a dictaphone, from a cubicle in the gents :( Oh dear.
