As you can see, most of the tracks are very short, and the interesting thing about this release is that you are to hit shuffle on your player, and thus listen to an ever-changing song, that will evolve as time passes. Alternatively, you can program it to be the way you want, mixing the percussion tracks with the melody tracks.

Minidisc was reissued in 2001, with a black cover, as opposed to the white cover that was on the first edition. The cover itself is entirely in one color, with Gescom in the lower part.

I like it!
