    A fab piece of acoustic "Not-Goth" musings, 'Cant' is an often forgotten piece of Ben's back catalogue, but still essential listening. The only other place these 3 tracks can be found is in the Our Brilliant Careers: Cherry Red Rarities 1981-1983 compilation, where they seem to have been ripped straight from a vinyl copy (there's a slight cut half way through to another track, but it's in time to the beat so I'm unsure weather it's an error or part of the composition).
