I think there is really nothing to it, it is just a track-length listing
presented in an interesting way. The "first three songs" you mention is surely
a red herring based on the way the text is formatted, as for why the totals are
repeated, who knows; it's the sort of thing the designers republic like to do -
I just see it as a bit of a joke - just look at a receipt from a grocery store
one day when you buy one item. Like as not the value occurs at least 3 times,
more if you pay with the right money.
Item: 0.67
ST: 0.67
Tot: 0.67
Caten: 1.00
Ch: 0.33
I think that may be the stupidest thing I've ever posted to idm, but who
cares!?
