Sixtyten has always been my favorite here. Followed closely by Telephasic Workshop and Eagle. Open the Light is also one I enjoy a lot these days.

Mine does and honestly I used to prefer it without HC because One Very Important Thought is such a mic drop moment. However, HC has such an epilogue/fever dream feeling that makes it work so well.

Mine has Happy Cycling on it and I’d prefer it without as well

Happy Cycling sounds like an early Autechre track and I've never loved it here at all. Should always have been a bonus track, with One Very Important Thought as the true closer

All about the the album being wrapped up by that speech as Raw mentioned.

Talk about an unnecessary tagged on ‘bonus’



I have the CD which doesn’t have Happy Cycling on it but haven’t listened to it in years.

just take the needle off the record then if you don't wanna hear Happy Cycling lol

One Very Important Thought is def a mic-drop moment, but I always appreciated a lot that there was one more song after. Would seem weird to me for this album full of ethereal good feels to end on such a dead-serious note. plus Happy Cycling is an amazing track in itself.

point is, Happy Cycling was always considered part of the album before, so why did they just randomly decide to leave it off the vinyl lol

It just doesn’t fit on the album. For the longest time I confuses HC for Everything You Do Is A Balloon and thought it was a superb closer lol
