The Ltd Edition comes with a 192 page booklet, same format as the ones that
come with Trance Europe Express/Volume releases. It contains lots of artwork
by FSOL & Buggy G Riphead; see their website (
http://www.vmg.co.uk/fsol/
for some examples. There is a sort of narrative (in 3 parts?) that runs thru
the booklet along with the images. The first bit is about a guy who snorts
his own dead skin cells (!) in order to extend his life; the second bit is
about traffic cameras; the third is about a guy who lives in a block of flats
and becomes obsessed with the sounds coming from the flat above him.
The style of pictures & text reminds me of 'The Medium is the Massage'
by Marshall McLuhan.
I quite enjoyed reading it on the tube home listening to 'glass' on my walkman.
Verdict on the album: good so far- will need longer to get into it properly
