Okay, yeah. So.

Sensurround is more commodification stuff, and it makes sense that this one's pretty explicitly an album outtake. You won't be able to live without it! You were born with it. Linnell literally stated that this album was about hearing Sensurround from the movie Earthquake while in the womb. You can no longer escape it. Sensurround is all you have. God help you.

Unforgotten is kind of the endpoint of the highly transactional relationship in Factory Showroom's Pet Name, a track that I don't want to talk about because it makes me cry.

I don't care that much about We've Got A World That Swings, because it's a cover. It does reinforce Factory Showroom's themes, given that it shows a universe that's up in arms where you punch the clock and go back to work.

I didn't listen to the alternate mix of S-E-X-X-Y, because honestly I don't like S-E-X-X-Y that much. Like, it's got a great bassline and I like the themes, I just don't care for it.
