The instrumental part of Annalisa I think is by the French composer Erik Satie. Similar to using Swan Lake in Death Disco.

Nice piece, punyhuman!

Have to admit this release passed me by, so thanks for that straight off.

Personally I love both Religions. They were an intrinsic, shocking part of the record's original release .

Does their absence indicate a reluctance to put such sentiments out in the States?

And the removal of Fodderstompf? I know it isn't exactly the band's most crucial track but deserves its place if only for the line "we only wanted to finish the album with the minimum of effort which we are doing quite successfully".

Really looking forward to "Not The Last" tour now.

That’s a great point re: the Religions - but to my ears it really does stack up - as something different - without them.

I didn’t realise what an obstacle they were to the album, for me, until they were gone. I’ve realised I tolerated more than loved them. Keen to know what you think when you hear it!
