i'm pretty sure this is my final take on this.
a lot of the problems i'm having in sequencing this ultimately have to do with me adding several minutes of updated takes on very old material. i initially thought it would make sense to add them to the end of the disc as a sort of bonus to it, but that was under the assumption i'd have more than enough space. then, i was considering expanding it to a double to make room for those tracks. it's silly to extend that for these tracks.
further, if i place it between the first ftaa single and the clarity single i think it represents an actual end of the concept. the early rabit is wolf material starts in september, but it wasn't yet clear if it was really a band or if i really wanted to use the material i was writing for it. mmattittwagi came out of a jam session. clarity was something i was in the process of writing for my own material (i was actually thinking of a trinri, again) but worked into rabit on request. time existed, but it was in a different state and was meant for cynicide. actually, that reminds me - i should check to see if there's a mix of it. there weren't any songs really written *for* rabit until 2002. so, parking this in december and allowing it to close the thought makes quite a bit more sense.
i'm also thinking i should work the track i'm working on into this, as it now fits the theme of orchestrated music.
so, that leaves me with an 8 track record.
- stuck (done)
- time machine (done)
- symphony of madness (done)
- intersection (done)
- spin (process)
- mmattittwagi (next) <---needs to be rethought.
- choir (next next) <----probably merely rendered
- #9 (last) <-------needs to be rethought
that will be around 80 minutes.

i was wondering if i should put a rough mix of me, myself... on the cynicide disc but the chronology doesn't make it make sense. jon has a guitar part on some versions, but he ultimately rejected the track so it doesn't make sense to do that.
so, the next single after spin...is me, myself. then the ftaa disc. then i'll have to finish the last two orchestral tracks.
some alternate takes of #9 will appear on a single for clarity, which i half want to include a version for the orchestral disc, but can't, conceptually, because it isn't.
i'm going to want to put early mixes as the lead singles for clarity and me, myself.. as i did with the deny everything material. for me, myself ... it's because i added a guitar part in may, 2002. for clarity, it's because i want an instrumental version out there.
