Much prefer Geogaddi to be honest. Think it'll take me a couple more listens to fully "get" this one.

This album is great, but it's too long. I'm listening to it now and I feel like it should've ended tracks ago even though I still have two tracks to go. They could have just released the first half and I wouldn't complain at all.

@ Schayzelden: I agree, the album should end with One Very Important Thought. Happy Cycling seems out of place and kind of tarnishes the ending. However, I still love Happy Cycling... if only it were on a different release...

I hate Happy Cycling. Mainly because the album should end with One Very Important Thought, it doesn't fit. PLus my hard copy doesn't have Happy Cycling on it anyway, seeing as i don't have the reissue.

Also Happy Cycling was a bonus track an old US release of the album, included on the 2004 Warp reissue.

That's interesting because my download contained Happy Cycling.

happy cycling is hilarious because it's like the download-identifier. everyone who downloads the album doesn't have this song, which is a punishment in itself. top stuff

I have a version of this with Happy Cycling on it, is it normally on a different album? I know one version is on the Peel Sessions.

I can't even tell the tracks apart on this album since I'm usually sleeping or dozing while listening to it.
