I was just thinking the same thing. The side-long version on the Obscure Records vinyl LP is exactly right. Much as it pains me to say so, I don't think Tom Waits brings much to the party... the voice recorded for the original loop says everything that's needed...

Is it me or is this way, way too long? At some point you have to say 'enough is enough'. The looping, building melody is quite lovely but the abrupt 'pause' before repeat is detrimental to the overall feel. Tom Waits does his best to liven proceedings at the end by singing the same refrain. John Cage never sounded so invigorating after this, especially the silent piece.
