Now that I have it in my player, I can most definitely affirm that the CDs
are *not* identical. One is drones, the other a sort of Morning Light
styled Locust. From the text printed on CD2:
"This release is not a double CD, but a twin CD format.CD2 is not
intended to be played on its own, but is an expansion to normal domestic
playback possibilities. As a starting point, CD1 might be played on the
living room's main CD system and the second 'drone' CD on a ghettoblaster
or home computer...maybe from another room. It's an ideal world and with a
little help from a friend, both CDs should be activated instantaneously,
but an offset of +/- 3 or 4 seconds should still produce the anticipated
intention. Relative volume level might me 3 to 1; listener feedback on any
combinations is gratefully received." (Mark von Hoen)
