K, on Frances the mute, the songs are all weird and not numbered, so when I skip tracks close to the end, I have no idea what song I'm on. Does anyone know how its split up? I know that the widow is two, and that one after it is three, then I'm lost. So could someone make a list of the songs with the appropriate track number? thanks in advance
ps - I'm dumb and lazy, but you probably already knew that.

I have the same problem... I thought Windows Media Player would save the day, but it just named every track chronologically with the song parts on back (so they had The Widow as track 5 and L'vie as 6).
I've also got a question for the good peeps who are more knowledgeable about all things Volta than I am: They have the Frances the Mute info on the inside of the CD Box, but is it on the album? I know that on the vinyl, it's not on the album, but there is a Frances The Mute 12" Single. Curious what's what, but a little mystery is never a bad thing.

here is the logical answer i've come up with, and i'll be surprised if it is not correct...
track 1: Cygnus...Vismund Cygnus track 2: The Widow track 3: L'Via L'Viaquez
"Miranda That Ghost Just Isn't Holy Anymore"
track 4: Vade Mecum track 5: Pour Another Icepick track 6: Pisacis (Phra-Men-Ma) track 7: Con Safo
"Cassandra Geminni"
track 8: Tarantism track 9: Plant A Nail In The Navel Stream track 10: Faminepulse track 11: Multiple Spouse Wounds track 12: Sarcophagi
I could be wrong, but this just seemed kind of obvious

i don't think that's the exact track listing, not the one i've seen at least...i'll work on finding the right one...of course i could actually maybe possibly but the thing first...
and there is another song called "frances the mute" and it's a "decoder track" for the album...it'll be released on vinyl, if it hasn't already, and if you buy the vinyl from gsl, then you get the 12" for free...i have it on my computer if anyone wants it...it's like 12 minutes long or so and the first 4.5 minutes are JUST NOISE OH WHAT A SURPRISE I'M SO SHOCKED...but really, that kinda ruins the song for me right there, but it isn't that bad i guess...

when I put the CD in on my computer, I played it though iTunes and the tracklisting is this:
01. Cygnus...Vismund Cygnus 02. The Widow 03. L'Via L'Viaquez 04. Miranda, That Ghost Just Isn't Holy Anymore 05. Cassandra Geminni A. Tarantism A. Tarantism II B. Plant a Nail in the Navel Stream B. Plant a Nail in the Navel Stream II C. Faminepulse C. Faminepulse II D. Multiple Spouse Wounds E. Sarcophagi
...so that's obviously wrong

not my words: If you have been following this release you would recall that it was originally planned to be released as five tracks. However, due to five tracks legally being an EP, the band was forced to split up the final track into pieces. Now before you go trying to associate the pieces with movement titles, do not. The pieces do not relate anyway to the movement titles. The band urges you to stop trying to make sense of everything. This is art and it is meant to be confusing. Just enjoy the music.
This is the most accurate tracklisting:
1.Cygnus... Vismund Cygnus 2.The Widow 3.L'Via L'Viaquez 4.Miranda, that ghost just isn't holy Anymore 5.Cassandra Gemini I 6.Cassandra Gemini II 7.Cassandra Gemini III 8.Cassandra Gemini IV 9.Cassandra Gemini V 10.Cassandra Gemini VI 11.Cassandra Gemini VII 12.Cassandra Gemini VIII
OR you can look at it like this...
1. Cygnus... Vismund Cygnus 2. The Widow 3. L'Via L'Viaquez 4. Miranda, That Ghost Just Isn't Holy Anymore 5 - 12. Cassandra Gemini
The movements are just extensions of the song titles, and they have nothing to do with track numbers.

it depends on which advance you have...within like the last month, the real version has been released (the japanese version), and that isn't really any different...

I'm just glad I'm not the only one who was dumbfounded by the track list on Frances.

Thanks for the collective homework, peeps, between consecutive readings of Thoreau, Steinbeck, Wallace Stevens and Amy Tan for school, didn't have much time to look. I salute you.
