i concur. silent intro is a much better record.

imo mahogany brown is a bit of a disappointment.
too much "intentionally difficult" stuff and mixes 
of older tracks (joy, black mahogany) that are _far_ 
inferior to the the originals.

there are a couple of real gems on there though,
particularly the first side (radio, sunshine, on the run)

does anyone else find peacefrog to be incredibly
annoying in the way that they let most of their 
catalogue go out of print so quickly? it took me 2-3 
years to find albums by stasis and glenn underground
that i hadn't bought the month they came out.
