About the track times issue, VBR mp3 files sometimes get their track times messed up, often showing as much longer than they actually are. That could be why your times differ from the listed times.

Especially for Snow Dog  Smile
 
 
 
Today I received a reply from Günter Werno, the keyboard player from VANDEN PLAS. Here it is:
 
"Hi Fitzcarraldo,
 
the correct writing is: Wish you where here. This means that Christ0 wishes someone else in his desperate situation and place and at the same time he does not really know where he is. So he is asking where am I exactly.Thanks for letting us know that the writings on the album and websites are different, we will inform the webmasters asap.
 
Best regards, Günter Werno, Vanden Plas"
 
 
So there you have it. The band has titled the third track of "Christ 0" 'Wish You Where Here'.

Don't be so hasty, Snow Dog! As the various references contradict each other, I've sent an e-mail to the band asking them for clarification. Let's see what they say (if they reply, that is!). (I'm curious, that's all.)

Track listing on INSIDEOUT Web site

VANDEN PLAS Web site

Seems more like a cock-up by the person who typeset the CD cover.



Ok, so have it your way if my proofs aren't enough.

The context is clearly "wish you were here" otherwise it makes no sense.


I tagged the songs on Musicbrainz tagger, and it says that the band was asked for the correct spellin, and it was confirmed as "where". Also in the Vanden plas forum all the fans refer to it as where.

It actually says "Wish You Where Here is not a typo (confirmed by band)"

Snow Dog,

According to the group's official Web site, the title of Track 3 is 'Wish You Were Here', which is what is currently on the album's page in the Archives.

VANDEN PLAS - "Christ 0"

In fact, looking again, all the track times are wrong.
