Notes
  • "Incident at Gate 7" contains a sample from Kool and the Gang's "Summer Madness".
  • "The Glass Bead Game" contains a sample from Cal Tjader's "Samba Do Suenho".
  • The album is dedicated to the memory of Antonio Carlos Jobim.

gollark: This is why microkernels are perfect and without flaw.
gollark: For one thing, there's a break in conversations, and cognitive overhead to decide when to switch and whatnot.
gollark: Obviously we operate this server here to partly escape palaiologistry, but I don't think "move all somewhat controversial discussion over here" works very well.
