Notes

Issued in a super jewel box with a 6 folded booklet.

Incidental info:
Track 1 "Silence" was originally titled "Wicca". Its opening is a sample of Claudio Campos, a Capoeira master, speaking in Portuguese. He recites an adaptation of the Wiccan precept of the "Threefold Law" which translates back to English as:
"Be aware to the rule of thirds. What you give will return to you. You have to learn this lesson. You only receive what you deserve".

    I'd like to hear an instrumental mix of the album as I'm not keen on the vocals. The music's good but the whiny pained voice brings me out in hives. Sounds like someone's standing on her foot.

      Constant noise and the steepest warp I've even seen. Plays on 45, but that's for nothing if it sounds like dog crap. Maybe some wood glue... Used to have the box version. That played at 33 but it was clean and lovely sounding.
