Sorry, thought everybody knew about this! I actually emailed them to order this YEARS ago (like 2000/2001) and then never sent the cheque...

I went to see Piano Circus at the Southbank after i heard about this. It was a very discordant sounding night. I have the EP up in the loft.

Knew about this release but completely forgot about it. Thought it was pretty hard to get a hold of when it came out.

Holy shit! I remember something like this happening, but I was completely unaware of any actual physical release. I may have to order this since it's obviously not easily available anywhere. Killer.

Just a heads-up
I thought the Glass track would be 22 minutes long :)
- But that is the length of the 3 tracks together...

Glass is 5:38, same as the Dead Cities original version...
- actually you can stream the entire version (in shitty quality) on the link in the OP.

Ahhh, OK re-reading the tracklisting that kinda makes sense. Damnit that's a shame !

(and listening to the stream - It sounds like a cheap general-midi recreation of the track. don't think I'll spend money on this one)
