I think I remember seeing yours for the last two albums.
I did the two albums and made an EP in between. Too much free time.
yeah, that's probably the case with me too, lol!

I haven't tried anything drastic but I definitely think they should have used the longer version of GOYB. the transition from Crazy to Boots is the only jarring one on the album; the long intro would fix this. I also think a more finished Winter would have worked on the album (hopefully we'll see it on Songs of Ascent, sans butter on toast and bullets in guns). I put it after Breathe and I think it works well there. It's a good penultimate track. It'd be a good closer too, but I feel like Cedars can't go anywhere but the end.
Today I had a day off so I started listening to the cd in depth. At the same time I was blown away by the precious song that is Winter. This made me think about reshuffling the tracklist of the album. The goal was to make it an album which sounds like a unity. Because right now, I think the album has two kinds of tracks: the ones that sound like they belong to each other. And the ones which don't seem to relate to the others (boots, comedy, crazy). Therefore I cut away the last ones and came up with the following tracklist:
1 No Line
2 Magnificent
3 Winter
4 White as Snow
5 Fez
(6 Mercy)
7 Breathe
8 Unknown Caller
9 Cedars
a little over 47 minutes...
Mercy fits in terms of style and theme (lyrics), therefore i positioned it right behind Fez.
I especially like the flow from Magnificent to Winter...
here's a new one i'm listening to. now that we have the studio version GOYB with the extended live intro, i think it works very well as the opener:
1. Get On Your Boots (Extended Intro)
2. Stand Up Comedy
3. Magnificent
4. Moment Of Surrender
5. Unknown Caller
6. I’ll Go Crazy If I Don’t Go Crazy Tonight
7. No Line On The Horizon
8. Fez – Being Born
9. Winter
10. White As Snow
11. Breathe
12. Cedars Of Lebanon
Try this order:
1 . No Line On The Horizon
2 . Magnificent
3 . Moment Of Surrender
4 . Winter
5 . Stand Up Comedy
6 . I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight
7 . Get On Your Boots
8 . Breathe
9 . White As Snow
10. Fez-Being Born
11. Unknown Caller
12. Cedars Of Lebanon
It really sounds right...
Borth1, I like your idea of including Eno & Harold Budd's "Against The Sky" = the sample being used in Cedars
