Too many song fragments. It just didn't feel like it was actually worth paying for.

The M=Dik 12" is a historic SY release. Just try to put it in context. It was originally released as an audacious and free transitional move between Sister And Daydream via the Whitey Album and beyond. I will never forget when my needle hit the virgin vinyl back in '87? and the b-side emerged in all of it's collaged beauty. It was a seminal moment as it made me realise that anything is possible, you just have to follow your imagination and trust yourself. This is what SY have done for me... and that is why I still listen to them now.

...also it manages to straddle the line between light hearted brevity and pure sonic invention, which is something I had not heard before nor come to think of it since.

Dig it!.
