"As if "In The Red" wasn't good enough to begin with, this Special Edition 2-disk set includes a live concert AND two studio tracks left off the original album, which I think are better than anything that was ON the record. "When You're Away" really hit home for me, and "Lost In Art" is simply gorgeous. Tina's EP "Far" is still my favorite overall recording, but "Fuel", "Notes", and this edition of "In The Red" are close behind... I just hope she's involved with another Zero 7 project eventually. THAT would be heaven."

"I bought the export last February and it's been one of my most listened to albums this year.
Craving more of Tina's brilliance, I purchased this edition with her live acoustic solo set Bonus CD.
It is simply the BEST concert I have ever heard.
Your sorrows will evaporate as Tina and her guitar heal your life's wounds."

"Tina Dico is absolutely fantastic. She has a marvelous voice, which I would call sultry, and she writes songs of substance. This version of "In the Red" is the one to own. The extra cd of her live performance in Copenhagen allows the listener to really hear the quality of her vocals. Her timing and phrasing of the lyrics are superb, well delivered, and her confident singing can be stunningly beautiful. I cannot imagine not having this cd in my collection."
Bargain of the year!

"I can't stop listening to the Bonus CD! When I heard a 2-disc version was coming out, I didn't even think about having wasted money on the first one, I just thought, "Oh GOODY - more Tina!"
The sound quality of the live recording is not pristine...but the performances will win you over! It's just her and her guitar. She is intense and in full control of that gorgeous voice. The last two cuts are b-sides from two singles (completists will still want to find the "Give In" single for a 3rd b-side).
I just wish they would make her DVD available in the US.
