Both this and deloused are superb albums.



Could anyone let me know the full track listing and track lengths?



When I rip the English version of the CD onto my PC, Miranda has 4 parts (total track length about 21 minutes) and Cassandra Gemini has only 5 parts (total track length about 18 minutes), as per the track listing shown in the review.



I thought Cassandra Gemini was supposed to be the longest song by far (in 8 parts?) and the end of Miranda on the ripped CD flows perfectly into the start of Cassandra Gemini.



In short, where does the track Miranda finish and Cassandra start?

1. Cygnus... Vismund Cygnus (13:02)

2. The Widow (5:51)

3. L 'Via L'Viaquez (12:22)

4. Miranda That Ghost Just Isn't Holy Anymore (13:10)

5. Cassandra Gemini (32:32)



Just look at wikipedia as there are too many damn versions of this.



Cassandra Gemini is one badass song. Just love it when Omar rips it in that 3/4 part at near the beginning and end.

@ Dirty Sanchez...



Did the record company goof when they printed the liner notes and track listing names? To me, it sounds like Track #4 - Miranda - Vade Mecum should be the only "Miranda" song on here. Tracks 5 - 12 sound like the same song "Cassandra." Your post says Cassandra is 30 min long, so this would make sense...



So my question is, why are the first 3 parts of Cassandra Gemini called Miranda (Pour another icepic, pisacis, con safo)????



For the life of me, I can't figure this out...and wikipedia, amazon, all music, etc...they all have something different...

Mine is the same as foreveredeared, and that's what i'm saying...Miranda B, C, and D sound like they should be part of Cassandra Gemini...



I've heard some places that Miranda is 13 min and Cassandra is 30 min, and if so, my question is correct...why did they name the first 3 Cassandra Gemini parts Miranda B, C, and D?

They actually part of cassandra. If you look at the lyrics in the booklet for the cd the lyrics for cassandra begin on miranda b.

So is there any way to merge tracks together with iTunes? I wanna reorganize them as just the 5 tracks because I like it better that way.

Dunno about iTunes, but i'd imagine you can easily download a program that lets you merge tunes together.

Apparently this works - http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/windowsThis Message Edited On 12.09.08

Ya i actually used audacity to make my own mix. Took out lot of those ambient parts and added the title track. Why they didn't add that in the first place is pretty ridiculous. The ending to the song is godly.
