Re: Desolation Rose. When it initially came out, I liked it a lot more than Banks Of Eden, and the bonus disc stuff felt just as good, if not better, than the main disc stuff. Like I typically did with TFK albums, I re-ordered the songs from both discs to create a proper double album that has a good flow between songs and instrumentals, at least IMO. For the curious, here's the track list, but I also edited some tracks in Audacity so that they segue together, particularly the last two in my order:
Disc 1 - 45:21
Tower ONE
Burning Spears
Lazy Monkey
The Wailing Wall
Dark Fascist Skies
Psalm 2013
Sleeping Bones
Desolation Road
White Tuxedos
Disc 2 - 46:26
The Resurrected Judas
Silent Masses
Last Carnivore
Badbeats
Runaway Train
Interstellar Visitations
Blood Of Eden
Silent Graveyards
The Final ERA
I remember carefully placing certain songs in this order, probably because of how they flowed into each other, or perhaps to reflect musical or lyrical references, such as "Burning Spears" being mentioned near the beginning of "Tower ONE". I also made it so that each disc would be able to split into a single vinyl across two sides, so I made sure the songs fit with that in mind as well.
It's been a little while since I've listened to it, though, but I really enjoyed this order, and it made the whole album better for me over-all.
