Song information Many of the tracks on this album have appeared in a different form on other My Dying Bride releases.

This version of the song also appears on the digipak re-release of ''As the Flower Withers'', and on the rarities/best-of compilation ''Meisterwerk 1''. "Vast Choirs" is a reworked version of the version that app ...
