Binaural is 23 years old! Let’s reignite the age old debate of what would have made the best album of this stuff (for me it is among my favorite albums of theirs yet I also think they could have done better with the material they had). My take of an ideal track list:
1) Of the Girl
2) Breakerfall
3) Gods’ Dice
4) Evacuation
5) Sad
6) Grievance
7) Nothing As It Seems
8) Insignificance
9) Education
10) Fatal
11) Hitchhiker
12) In the Moonlight
13) Rival
14) Thin Air
15) Light Years
16) Sleight of Hand
17) Parting Ways
Any tracking that keeps Sad (Letter to the Dead) is automatically better. Lose NaiS and my god, it would be perfect.

This is a compilation I made with a bunch of improvs of the Binaural era. Seems a good time to repost it.

My excitement got the better of me and got it on a cassette tape
One of the worst audio experiences in my life.
Although my first copy of Vitalogy also was a tape, the recording quality on it was miles above Binaural somehow.
