1) It's different. The *production* sounds like a
studio-compilation of sessions like ISDN. I noticed during the first
listen that little subtlety is used. Most of the unidentifiable sounds
are mixed up front, which makes for a great speaker-album (as opposed to
a headphone album in which sounds are mixed to be a little more elusive).
There's all kinds of neat little 90-second segments at the ends and
beginnings of the songs. The albums strengths lie in its diversity.
There's somethin' for everyone...even Run-DMC ("Rock!")
2) Yeah, go buy it, especially if you find the one with the book.
