Here's my theory: the first nine tracks are all perfectly normal tracks (titlewise, anyway), but track ten, "In a State of Permanent Abyss," is divided into two subtracks, "Glass" and "Yage" (I think the division between the two is about two-thirds of the way through). Then we go to track eleven, which is "Vit Drowning" and so forth on up to thirteen. As for the hidden part at the end, I think it's what's described in the middle of the booklet (the little one) under "14" (the "Dead Cities reprise" and all) even though it's technically just the blurb at the end of track thirteen. Anyway, that's the way I listed them in my PC's CD player catalog, so I'd better just stick with it. An interesting sidenote: what they don't mention (even in the two-hundred page thingy) is that the tracks for this release were, in fact, numbered by Dilbert's pointy-haired boss. THIS much I know for a fact. Hope this clears things up! --"Sigless" Andy Wells On now: FSOL, "Vit Drowning" (I think)

You're close... but still wrong. I posted the proper tracklisting of Dead Cities like 24 hrs ago.... does anybody actually read my postings? I'd be happy to do it again, should anybody be interested. My copy of Dead Cities is the Virgin Canada promo, with the tracklisting typed out clearly on the backcover. Some of the tracks are splitnames... that's why there are 15 titles for 13 tracks. onnow: fsol "accelerator" (one of the nice hypnotic label releases even though accelerator is a blast from the past.)
