After digesting this album and it's related B-Sides, I've come up with, yet again, another personal playlist that puts together all of these tracks. As usual, they're set-up as vinyl sides, each about 19-20 minutes long with minor edited here and there, mostly to crossfade "Antisocial" and "People Who Eat Darkness" (as the former was intended as the intro to the latter).
Side 1 - 20:48
01 To The Bone 6:42
02 Nowhere Now 4:04
03 Pariah 4:47
04 The Same Asylum As Before 5:15
Side 2 - 20:10
05 Refuge 6:45
06 Permanating 3:35
07 A Door Marked Summer 7:41
08 Blank Tapes 2:09
Side 3 - 20:06
09 Ask Me Nicely (Intro) 1:43
10 Antisocial 3:09
11 People Who Eat Darkness 6:01
12 Song Of I 5:22
13 Northern Cyclonic (Inst.) 3:51
Side 4 - 19:10
14 Ask Me Nicely 3:54
15 Detonation 9:20
16 Song Of Unborn 5:56
As the album by itself, it's really grown on me, but I really enjoy the songs that were cut as well, especially "A Door Marked Summer" and "Antisocial", but I can understand why SW would want to cut some of that stuff, especially the intro pieces and instrumentals, going for a more concise album with "just the songs", but you guys know me - I love having a complete playlist of an album's (released) songs, because I read that SW even wrote a song called "How Big The Space?" that wasn't recorded for this album, but was written at the time. He's also said he wrote songs at the start of the sessions but those few were cut for sounding too much like HCE material, as he says happens when beginning a new album (that the first few tunes are reminiscent of the previous album).
