[edit] Track Order

Todd Rundgren was interviewed on IRC about this album, and why some songs were included and some were left off:

"Dear God" was always part of my original running order. The LP was deemed too long and something had to go. I essentially loathed "Another Satellite" because it wasn't part of the concept. Andy loved it because it was all Andy and he voted to boot DG because he was afraid of the reaction. The AR dude at Virgin hated the little kid's voice, so I was essentially overruled. Until there is a Skylarking without "Another Satellite" (and with "Mermaid Smiles") it will remain an imperfect record for me.

Even though the process of making the album wasn't apparently particularly pleasant, the end result is all the really counts.K8 fan 17:59, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
