I honestly think that Wolf City is one of the best albums of that year ... specially in the LP version that started properly with the theme title. Later releases had the album sides switched around because "Surrounded by the Stars" got more airplay and was, apparently, a better opener for the fans, that could get "their song" right away. 

I prefer it on Side 2 of the original album. The CD did the same thing as the later releases, and in some ways, I think it takes away from the beauty of the album ... and you know that its style and design, was copied (somewhat) by the start of "Vive La Trance" ... and I think that the order of the LP in WC was done to separate the two better, but by that time "Surrounded by the Stars" was better known. It's a nice piece, but not the best in that album, though in all honesty the whole album is fantastic. In my mp3's I changed the order to reflect the original ... just sad to see a band give in away from their artistry ... which was what happened to the band after "Apocalyptic Bore" ... it didn't matter anymore, and the band never really recovered from that, though Nada Moonshine # has some nice stuff, but the album was hated by John Weinzierl, that on an email told me the album was "b*****d" .... in that live show with some of these pieces, they sounded fine ... but likely much easier to play than the material from Yeti or Dance of the Lemmings!
