Side C, for the bit where it sounds like a piano, over Side D's bit where it sounds like trumpets.

The extreme stereo separation made me think of Warhol's Chelsea Girls, where you have two different screens at either end of the room, showing different scenes. The total psychological effect also reminded me of Burroughs' cut-up books, where pushing though the experience changes the way your brain is working.

It's the "incidental detail" of the set.

It leaves you with the "rule of three" anyway.

One time I listened to this at half speed and reversed, which seemed to reveal that at least some of the material recorded had been sped up and reversed for the album. And also it sounded like an Eno ambient album. Recommended.

Doesn't sound quite as much like an Eno ambient album as I remembered, lol.
