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".

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.
