'go sumo' is a horrible track, which makes one appreciate the excellent tracks 'go sheep' and 'puzl' that much more. on rainy, introspective days, i often wonder if 'go sheep' is a weird and perverted inside joke at the expense of the welsh; or perhaps a weird and perverted inside joke at the expense of the mindless prats who buy into the whole music culture, go the raves, eat the drugs, etc. then again, the music could mean absolutely nothing, a subtle anthem to nihilism. you just can't take their music at face value with a title like that; the imagination must run free and unfettered. alex

As was I believe discussed at the time, "go sumo" and "go sheep" are probably references to the shops holding those names in Sheffield and Manchester, respectively.
