Yes, this is a great album indeed (in my opinion ALL of Köner's
album rank to the very best in genre).
The bad news is that this is released in only 600 copies so I
guess it's probably sold out already,
Here's my review + sample track:

Onderwerp: (amb) Koner - La barca
I know that there has been some positive responses to the
recent Koner release but I wanted to add my high praise for this CD. Dark
parts throughout the journey, densely layered yet I felt it never quite went
off the edge with Koner pulling in some beautiful underlying deep and
stretched bass inter spaced with tonal shifts and urban / conversational top
layers that just plain worked brilliantly. I felt I was in some Eastern
European city shifting around the streets and in an out of buildings with a
draw towards the city central square and the next minute somewhere else
struggling to pin point the location exactly. I understand that the
coordinates used as titles will pin point locations but I have not checked
these out preferring to strain my ear to get an idea of location and enjoy
the subtle shifts and nuances that this disc produces. Very mature, not
a hint of anything over done, this has to rank as one of my favourite
releases so far this year. A long time waiting I know especially for Koner
heads but for those that do not yet have a copy hurry up and get a release
that represents some of the best our genre produces.
