The track listing and song lengths are wrong. The first three are fine, but Miranda... is 13 minutes long, and Cassandra Geminni is about 32 minutes long.

I understand the confusion about it. Frankly, I haven't seen it correct once. Cygnus has 4 parts, Miranda has 4 parts, and Cassandra has 5, yet the album has 12 tracks. This is the way it works on the album: 1 is Cygnus, 2 is The Widow, 3 is L'via, 4 is Miranda, and 5-12 is Cassandra.

Why? I heard a while back it was because of a problem with the record company. Even though the album is over 70 minutes long, the company was only going to pay them for an EP, because it was only 5 tracks. So they split up Cassandra into 8 tracks.

I agree, it would have made more sense to probably split them up by the individual sections of Cygnus, Miranda, and Cassandra, but hey, whatever.

Please correct this!

4. Miranda that ghost just isn't holy anymore 13:09

Maidenulez the top track list in your post is what appears in windows media player when playing CD, but I agree with your interpretation.

Yeah, bought CD yesterday. I'm on my fourth playing already, its very good indeed.

Your right, i'm a major VdGG-er, so Present is #1 for me, but this is now right behind it.

Seeing your's and others posts on Frances the Mute convinced me to buy it, so thanks. This place rocks,

Thats cool TMV reminds me somewhat of Van der graaf generator...actually i find alot of similarities with A plague of lighthouse keepers (My favourite graaf song) and Cassandra gemmini
