You're right; "Mountain Goat" and "Liquid Insects" are the album versions,
their only advantage being that they are the only Amorphous Androgynous
cuts you can get on vinyl domestically (USA). "Sky Scraper", as Jon Drukman
said, is a lot like their more traditional stuff on Earth Beat; it doesn't
sound like it belongs on Tales of Ephidrina, but I have to say that I like
the track a lot anyway. It seems to be using more advanced instrumentation,
like the Tales of Ephidrina tracks. Also it is fairly dancey.
