I think it nicely sets up the sounds and effects brought into play in
track one (acroyear) which follows directly afterwards if you have your
cd-player looping. I've only listened to the extra bit once so far but
that's what I remember thinking at the time anyway. 

By the way, on top of the excellent BoC session on John Peel last night he
also played an interesting downish-tempo Gescom track too which I also
taped but didn't hear the title of - can anybody enlighten me?

Finally, as regards prices, I spent half an hour wandering around both the
major and independent record shops in Leeds not finding the new Ae cd for
less than GBP14.99 (HMV was 15.99 too! Yet they are selling Wap100 for
GBP9.99?!) so I ended up mail ordering via Warpnet for GBP12 despite the
fact I live less than an hour away from Sheffield. I think I'm beginning
to see why record shops may start to go bust rather shortly.......
