[edit] Liner notes

My CD of On Land has the Brian Eno essay that is currently cited in the article. However, I used to own a vinyl copy which had completely different text, plus a diagram, on the back cover. This was Eno's description of a three-speaker setup that he had found useful (and cheaper than quadraphonic systems, a recent phenomenon when On Land was released). As I recall the sytem involved wiring a small third speaker to the positive terminal of the left output and the negative terminal of the right output (or vice-versa). Perhaps it's worth mentioning this other text in the article. Unfortunately the $%#@* moving company lost my vinyl copy, so I no longer have it for reference. I'll poke around the web and see if I can find more info, unless someone else can post it in the meantime. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 04:14, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
