Totally missed this post at first. I just saw their <a href="http://www.amazon.com/New-Wave-Nouvelle-Vague/dp/B000PAAI8Y/ref=sr_1_4/103-0185337-9941436?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1187460736&sr=1-4">US release</a> just last month. Anyone heard it yet? Kind of a cool idea - a comp of remixes of covers - but is it good?

I guess goutroy was way ahead of the game when he posted about their concert a couple of years ago:
