I'm surprised BT, I thought that usually only happened the other way round. Songs from the Shipyards was due for release today, I was actually amazed to find it on emusic, because I have had to wait a few weeks before such releases hit the UK, with the notable exception of Broadside. On first play this sounds more like a 'normal' Unthanks album compared to the first two 'Diversions', other than a bit of background atmosphere sounds (seagulls, steam engines etc) on some tracks.
To be fair, Broadside isn't available in the US except as an import CD, and only the first volume of Diversions can be downloaded. Considering Bellowhead won't play the US for six months at least, I don't know why Navigator would delay.
I do love me some Jimmy Smith. Tons at Guvera. This one was apparently recorded in 1958 but not release until 1999, go fig. Kenny Burrell is here too, who I also love me some of.
I think there was a great deal more Eno on Guvera before the broken tracks thing, so hopefully there's more to return.
@Greg, I've tried to like Birth of the Cool, having learned (from you) to love Kind of Blue (I know they are different) but I just can't find my way into it.
Re Eno, maybe the other albums are still there but something changed in search engine terms. E.g. I am seeing "Ambient 2" under Brian Eno and Harold Budd but not under Brian Eno. Just realized again it makes a big difference on Guvera whether you enter a name in search and hit Enter or whether you click on that name in the list it gives. If you hit enter you get every artist tag that includes that name. If you click in the list you only get the albums tagged as precisely that name. Useful feature (provided the user figures it out without any instructions) when it's not frustrating because you forgot.
@GP: I think I wrote in the Guvera thread that I've been finding a lot of albums with missing titles, etc: album titles, song titles, artist titles. I would not be surprised if some albums are missing all three.

@Doofy, downloaded that Jimmy Smith yesterday and enjoyed it - thanks!
Guvera has lots of Eno. It also has this^^^.
Played most of this in the car driving home from work, now just finishing off,
