Great comp!
I compared the overlapping tracks with the Mental Cube EP and noticed that the speed is significantly faster, to the point that the pitches are noticeably higher. I wonder which one is "correct"? That's probably a fundamentally silly question in the FSOL sphere.

most likely on the EP Mental Cube is correct... on the Earthbeat compilation, probably the version for Earthbeat, due to the fact that there was not enough space (on physical media) for full versions, some tracks accelerated, others clipped (fading) - I think in vain, I thought that it would be logical to restore tracks from vinyls (`91-92) and include the full versions in the collection on the reissue 2022... unfortunately, they say little has changed since the 1992 edition, maybe someday a digital version with my wishes will be released (and also in digital and "Mind Maps 1/2/3...")
