When I saw this hit the release page I had to look it up because I knew the next scheduled album will be a Sgt. Pepper's tribute (can't wait for that!). I had not heard of the original version from 2011, a 24-hour long "song" of which there were only thirteen copies made available on a flash drive inside a skull and released on Halloween for a cool five grand..... that's $5000. A quick sample proved interesting enough to purchase (couldn't say that about the previous two records) and I'm glad I did. As a fan of pre-"Dark Side..." Pink Floyd (can you say "party favours"?) I really got into this...not enough to see if the website that looped the original was still functioning, but still, this is a worthy "condensed" item if I've ever heard one.....as if I've ever considered "condensed" as a "version" before! You can click here to hear what is essentially the closing track and listen for yourself. Some of the bips, boops and noises will test your stereo system much like that fuckin' fly on "Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast." You will also hear some passages which give heed to some of the Lips earlier works.
Basically, if you were ever a fan of "ObscuredByAtomHeartMeddleGumma" or "MorethanASaucerfulAtTheGatesOfDawn," then this record is for you...
