There was a lovely Andrew Weatherall package that came out some time back- a special edition of author Michael Smith's Unreal City, with a 6 track cd soundtrack, a 10" record and the book itself loose-leaf, with Weatherall's hand written annotations around the text. A really nicely put together thing, from Faber. It was priced at £35, which I thought was a bit steep, but I got one for £20 from a popular internet auction site. The soundtrack is all low key, ambient noises and circular acoustic guitar patterns and Michael Smith reading parts of the book- not the sort of thing to listen to everyday but something to immerse yourself into and enjoy. You should definitely find yourself a copy, if they haven't already sold out.The one-sided 10" record was a remix of one of the tracks. Consider this as a taster.

And many thanks to reader Jim from New Zealand who got in touch from the other side of the world regarding this matter.
