Of course there was an element of hyperbole there
But I think for me its a yes, purely as a whole - the performance, ensemble and the quailty of the engineering and production just did it for me. Personal ting dough init.
Not seen the Floyd and Cash ones but in terms of recording and production I'd rate this way above the 'head on Jools one (bigger 'head fan than Elbow fan I be ;)). Though now you've got me thinking - the one they did for Canal + at around the same time with the Ondes Martenot choir was pretty special. If you've not seen it, check out the version of How to Disappear Completely from that performance, very very good.
