Really liking the whole thing, had a couple of full listens now.

Convinced of the Hex, See The Leaves, Powerless and The Ego's Last Stand have grabbed me so far, but there's not really a weak track in my opinion. Great stuff!

I've always avoided Zaireeka as I've no idea how to listen to it, without setting up four different systems and getting some assistants round to press play in tandem. Like someone said earlier, there's probably a way to merge them together but I'm pretty inept when it comes to things like that (HINT!). I'm interested what they sound like alone.. are they listenable or is there obviously something lacking in the knowledge that you're only listening to a quarter of the final product?

I only downloaded them after figuring out I could merge them, so I've never given them a listen individually - though there is one track (track 6 I think) that seemingly consists of one track of music, and 3 of high-pitched noise (like the song Ventolin by Aphex Twin) - I edited the other 3 tracks out and the song sounds perfect. Apparently you can listen to different combinations discs and the tracks sound different (but still good), e.g. listening to 3 discs instead of 4 will be a different but still enjoyable listen. Dunno if that's true though.
