Deluxe Box Set [/2000] Colored vinyl Includes: - 2xLP with 4th side etching - Picture sleeves - 28 page lyric booklet with 11 original paintings by Vasily Kafanov - 7" containing "Other Stories" - 8 page booklet featuring 2 additional paintings by Vasily Kafanov in a hardbound book case for "Other Stories" - 11x17 poster - 13 song Deluxe Edition CD with alternate album cover - Digital download of the album (MP3) Lyrical acknowledgements [LP]: Open oceans & catching threads in track 1 adapted from Walt Whitman's Noiseless Patient Spider; spear casting stars & Tiger burning bright from William Blake's The Tyger. Reciprocal heart-shaping in track 4 from St. Teresa of Avila (in D. Ladinsky's Love Poems from God). In track 5, the Chaplain sailing & praying, as well as the final line, "I feel it stealing now, all adrift, fathoms down," all Melville's Billy Budd. The same song, the distinction between emblems & that which they represent inspired (appropriately enough) by W.B. Yeats' Circus Animals' Desertion. In track 10, "Looked upward lest the charm had fled" adapted from Keats' Eve of St. Agnes. Track 11 lyric inspired by (i.e., taken almost verbatim from) Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit. Lyrical acknowledgements [7"]: On side B, the line "all is distance," and the distinction between looking into & out from things, both taken from Rilke's Eighth Elegy. The line "my faith in love is still devout" is word for word from a Smiths song. Passing night birds' wing beating & horrid laughter adapted from Berlioz' rendition of Damnation of Faust. The line not long after that, "fleeting worlds to which I've clung with a now extinguished longing" is shamelessly similar to a passage from Novalis' Hymns to the Night. New Jerusalem Music is credited as New Jerusalem Music Publishing on the release.
