i ordered this cd by twink after listening to the samples on this site. some really cool things they've done with toy instruments. it sounds quite different from pascal comelade, and the pascals(a japanese pascal comelade cover band) who also use a lot of toy instruments on their releases.

this is the first time i've ordered from cd baby and when they shipped the order they sent me this amusing email:

Your CD has been gently taken from our CD Baby shelves with
sterilized contamination-free gloves and placed onto a satin pillow.

A team of 50 employees inspected your CD and polished it to make sure
it was in the best possible condition before mailing.

Our packing specialist from Japan lit a candle and a hush fell over
the crowd as he put your CD into the finest gold-lined box that money
can buy.

We all had a wonderful celebration afterwards and the whole party
marched down the street to the post office where the entire town of
Portland waved 'Bon Voyage!' to your package, on its way to you, in
our private CD Baby jet on this day, Monday, February 17th.

I hope you had a wonderful time shopping at CD Baby. We sure did.
Your picture is on our wall as 'Customer of the Year'. We're all
exhausted but can't wait for you to come back to CDBABY.COM!!


for them it's probably just there typical form letter, but i'd rather have this than your typical "we shipped your order, if you are lucky it will arrive sometime in the next 6 months..."
