Those on the Roughtrade mailing list will already know about this but it looks so good it's worth a post:

"Rough Trade Shops Present Behind the Counter with Max Richter. This spectacular compilation put together by much-loved British composer Max Richter is the first in Rough Trade Shop’s Behind the Counter series, in which some of our favourite artists create mixes especially for us using the records we sell on the shop floor.

As big fans of Max, Rough Trade invited him to curate a mix, knowing he would pick out some unexpected gems. The result is a 36-track (on CD) and 33-Track (On Vinyl) compilation of soundbites, pieces of composition, interesting mixes and curious musical choices including tracks from Mogwai, Boards of Canada, Philip Glass, Aphex Twin and Low among some classical works by Rachmaninoff and Bach.

3LP+ - Rough Trade Exclusive. 33 Track Unmixed Triple 180 Gram Transparent green coloured vinyl with 7". It comes with a Download of the Mixed Version. The bonus 7" features two Max Richter tracks - Whale Window Hotel and Farewell Threshold Laudanum.

3CD - Rough Trade Exclusive. 36 Track Mixed Triple CD Version with bonus CD including the 7” tracks and a selection of unmixed tracks pulled from the LP track listing."
