i just got it from the us of a. the 1991 original cd. it has been spinning on my player for the last four hours. it's one of those holy albums. the kind of stuff which can rekindle the interest and love for music which is buried in the heart of a fortysomething like me.

a question concerning the second song, ascension day. is it normal that it is cut off at the end at 5'59'' in the middle of the action? to me it feels like making love to a woman and being ejected from her by some supernatural force a second before the climax. like being catapulted from heaven back to the earth. quite a shock.

That's normal.

That's one of the best moments in the history of recorded music. Even better when playing it on an LP.

eight years pass...

Is there any noticeable difference between CD versions of Sprit of Eden?

I remember the remastered version being a better listen when it was issued by a slight margin, but that was a while back.

I want to pick up a vinyl copy of Spirit myself but I'm not sure if I should avoid any particular pressings.

Vinyl copies had a download link to 24bit Wav files iirc

Of potential interest if Laughing Stock and/or Spirit of Eden are significant in your life: http://open.spotify.com/album/1bZJF6RXhSy87wSEAxhiLl
