Just got State of the Nu-Art 2, on blue planet. Firstly, does anyone
know whether this actually just came out, or did it only just make it to
Reach'n Records in Sydney?
Second question: Disk 2 has 12 tracks in its tracklisting, but the
actual CD only has 11 tracks. What's more, the track lengths don't match
up - not that they do properly on Endlessnessism either, it's very hard
to do that prior to the final CD Mastering - but the mismatch is quite
extreme, with Witchman's mix of Jammin' Unit listed as 10:46 and only
making it to 6:13. A couple of other tracks seem to be shorter than
they're meant to be (not that they sound it!), with the others being all
a few seconds longer, except that the Friends, Lovers and Family track
(#7) doesn't seem to exist at all (well that's the way *I* interpret it,
it may in fact be a different track that was missed...)
Does anyone know if this was a pressing mistake for the whole CD or a
printing mistake or what? Does anyone else have a copy of the album with
the same problem, or indeed *without* the problem?
Perturbed,
Peter.
np: Massive Attack - Mezzanine. I disagree with whoever from before, I
think it's a fantastic album but that "Teardrop" is one of the most
beautiful things they've ever done. Liz Frazer works her magic as usual.
Much recommended!
