CD 2
01 Killer
02 Lost
03 Octopus / Theme One / Octopus

Notes:
1. This is not The Killer Lives or a re-master of it
2. The pitch is about a semitone lower than TKL and sounds better for it (as does TKL when I corrected it)
3. There is some hiss but this is only noticeable in the (few) quiet parts
4. Cleaned up track transitions and did some re-tracking (except at the end of Killer - see note 6)
5. Smoothed tape flip( ?) in Man-Erg at 4.02 (this in exactly the same place as TKL)
6. Strangeness at the end of Killer (tape v TKL):
- TKL: 8.2 secs after the song ends PH says "thank you, after Man-Erg that was W......".
- Tape Source: 5.3 secs after the song ends PH says "thank you very much" then after another 7.5 seconds "the next one is" the tape cuts and resumes "-Erg that was W"
7. The sound changes noticeably at the tape cut after Killer and for Lost and Octopus there is less hiss.
8. When I received this Acquarian was the first track on CD1.
