I mean, you could make a case that bloating "dark and Long" EP with 20+ minute self-indulgent remixes is pretentious. And the artwork of STITI? Child's fingerp
(by the way, can anyone confirm if "Parc" is really based on the live recording of "darc" from amsterdam? Or is it a new studio recording?)

To each their own, i guess.

I agree holden. I don't "get" the dark images of the booklet but that's not to say say that that I don't like the individual images. At the end of the day, Rick, Karl, and John W (and all he other Tomato guys) have been to art college, and so they know a whole lot more about art than us philistines. However, as a craftsman, I recognise what a beautiful creation the "..bells, the bells" packaging is.

Having the Amsterdam live original on the commy, I can confirm 99.9% that it is the original, with the audiance sounds erased, and the lovely spoken bits taken out :-( , except "cruel and tender...like a spider on my skin"
