Stranger by the Minute

"Stranger by the Minute" is a single by British progressive rock band Porcupine Tree, released in October 1999, from the Stupid Dream album. It came in two formats: a regular CD and a 7" vinyl (limited to 1.000 copies) which features "Hallogallo", a Neu! cover. It was originally intended to include the complete version of "Even Less" on the single, but this would have meant exceeding the maximum running time allowed for a single in the UK. The CD, besides the video for "Piano Lessons", contains a Macromedia presentation including band photos, lyrics, the band's discography, and more.

gollark: The e-ink Kindle.
gollark: They do (at least mine does, and I don't think they changed it much) run a bizarre custom Linux distro with everything running as root on an anemic ARM processor.
gollark: The e-ink ones are also sort of meant to be, but not very effectively.
gollark: I see. I think those are quite locked-down.
gollark: Is this one of the e-ink Kindles or the Android ones?
