[00:00:00] The Cut (2006 Digital Remaster) - Peter Hammill

[00:00:08] Everything out of order

[00:00:14] Everything too well produced

[00:00:20] From the conjuror's hat –

[00:00:22] Let's turn on the juice

[00:00:26] To grind the cutting plane the blade that gives an edge

[00:00:33] To scale the mountain; to fail upon the mountain ledge

[00:00:42] Half-way up is half-way peaking

[00:00:48] The stroboscope locks the lathe;

[00:00:54] I look around for a switch in phase

[00:00:59] The disco boom stands firm the eight-track's in the rage

[00:01:07] Licks the present quickly flips the future page

[00:01:16] Check the deck: no marked cards

[00:01:22] No sequentialled straight or flush

[00:01:28] The dice won't still the blood-line rush

[00:01:33] Run the star-flood night the cut-throat blade is stropped;

[00:01:40] Race your shadow race in case your shadow stops

[00:01:57] Everything so out of order

[00:02:03] No bias on the playback head;

[00:02:09] Papers for the border –

[00:02:12] All the tape is read

[00:02:15] The future burns my tongue the noise-gates all are shut

[00:02:22] Breathe the vacuum believe there's reason in the cut

[00:02:30] Incipient white noise

[00:02:34] The stylus barely tracks

[00:02:37] The air controllers feed the stereo sonic smack
