Thanks for that Wez! The weird thing is, this all corresponds closely
enough with my CD, and yes definitely the friends, lovers & family track
is missing, but the bedouin ascent track is not 7:40 as you specify (and
which is approximately what is listed on the CD cover) but in fact 9:50.
*Very* weird - continuity-wise, the 9:50 track on my CD is unbroken,
nothing extra seems to have been added. So how come your mix is shorter?
Another weird thing: what's the length of that 12-track CD of yours?
'Coz it's gotta be about 79:30 by my reckoning, which is the longest CD
I know of! Certainly with a "full length" version of the bedouin ascent
track (which is great by the way, up to kingsuk biswas' usual
standards), we'd be over the limit for a CD... so perhaps they got the
wrong mix of that track and couldn't fit everything else on? Hmm.

So, Wezz: what's the friends, lovers & family track like then? Worth my
searching out a copy of the proper disk? And also, does the bedouin
ascent sound like it's been cut in some way? The longer mix starts quite
ambientish, the beats only kick in a little later (maybe a minute or so
in)...

Peter.
