How are you fairing with Martinu now Jared?

not at all surprised you're pleased to be fair... that one is in my Amazon basket.

I have to be honest, I don't dislike it, but none of it is really to my taste Darren... I'll keep it, but I can't see the set will be getting many future listens... too bombastic for me.

Where there's a will, there's a way etc. ;-)

I don't think it is your imagination Jared. I have also found the prices to be increasing and the Euro/Sterling exchange reate does not help wither!. My purchases have slowed down as a result!

I'm not buying CDs at present however, I do keep a close eye on my various baskets and I too find that prices are going up, the £/€ conversion factor would not account for the rather steep increases I've come across.

^^ interesting. I know Amazon prices can fluctuate quite a bit over a few months, but I've never really known them all to head in one direction more or less at the same time... several boxsets I've been watching have seen a £10-£12 increase recently, which is why I asked the question... I was wondering whether it was just my basket! I know there are still bargains to be had out there, but they don't seem as plentiful as 12 months ago..

^^ I have noticed, when I am idly scanning Amazon, that many of the box sets I bought for reasonable sums a couple of years ago have boomed in value. It doesn't seem to have affected me as a buyer yet though...
