Album notes

Discogs page for these notes (opens in a new tab)

The Fragile - Album minutiae:
- The CD version consists of 23 tracks as listed in the master release branch.
- The LP version includes two additional tracks: "10 Miles High" and "The New Flesh". The last song, "Ripe", lacks the second section called "(With Decay)" present on CD. Additionally, the songs are unedited, resulting in some songs running longer than on CD. Any songs that segue on the CD tracklist but are split across LP sides have those segues removed.
- The Cassette version places a secondary section called "(+Appendage)" after the song "Please". This was exclusive to this format, until the release of "The Fragile Deviations 1", in 2016.
- The Fragile Deviations 1 is related to this release as being a full instrumental take on leftover studio material and alternate versions, expanded to 37 tracks in totality.
