Yes... there's a Black Buildings 2xLP that contains more tracks than the 2x10" EP. And the CD release contains like 6 or so more tracks than the 2xLP (!). Oddly enough one of my favorite tracks called Nebulae from the EP is on neither the 2xLP or CD, apparently. And that track is worth getting the EP for IMHO. If anyone likes _Black Buildings_ and hasn't heard the marvel of his 1st effort _Soundtrack [313]_ on Ferox, you owe it to yourself to find a copy. The very essence of a moody sleepless Detroit in the evening, the cover photo of steam coming thru the manhole covers on Gratiot says it all. I think it's even better than Black Buildings... one of those I recorded and bring on MiniDisc anytime I'm flying somewhere. (Also sharing the 'mandatory in flight entertainment' honors is Urban Tribe's Collapse of Modern Culture and Global Communications Pentamerous Metamorphosis) Also if you like Detroit Escalator Co., check out the Soul Circuit CD/LP on Sirkus called _Don't Spoil The Tension_. Similarly soundtracky (it was a created as film soundtrack for a gallery installation in London) and brilliantly intricate without being, err, wankerish. Speaking of wanker, I liked the LP so much I had to buy it on CD too so I could fall asleep to it at night... brilliant. peace, Matt MacQueen
