there’s a complete version of this floating around out there, which i hope to get my hands on one of these fine days, but (so they say) with “a good number of glitches/skips” and missing a track that appears here. no glitches in this excerpt, but it definitely left me feeling that i’d had an appetizer with no main course. still, a super appetizer! tapas, anyone?
