I also have the 10th anniversary. My dad got it me for Christmas when it came out. Listen to it regularly

Fun fact: the cover art is a reference to Jeremy in the Secret of NIMH. He was collecting red string as a means to attract a mate and the main theme of Transatlanticism is love.

I love Transatlatacism. To me it's a perfect encapsulation of Ben and Chris's collaboration. So much interesting production laced around Ben's songwriting. Same as you, I return to it every year – and throughout every year lol. Ever since I really started digging into their catalogue I've continued to discover more to love on their records
