* I read a review (sorry, someone else needs to edit this post to properly cite the reference) noting that Gemini are twins, and suggesting that separation (or invisible, maybe inevitable) connections might be a recurring Tomorrow's Harvest theme. (e.g., [[Split Your Infinities]], [http://www.brainwashed.com/common/htdocs/discog/loci1.php?site=coil08 Last Rites Of Spring/"Twin gods of death at the end of the tunnel"], Beckett's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_Trio_(play) Ghost Trio], Virgil's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeneid#Themes Aeneid], & Dante's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divine_Comedy#Thematic_concerUzns Divine Comedy])

**Elsewhere, I suggested listening to the tracks in reverse order (see [[Semena Mertvykh]]). But I just read the Tomorrow's Harvest [http://www.xlr8r.com/features/2013/06/deep-inside-boards-canada-tomorr XLR8R] review, so now I'm going to experiment with the kind of book-end/spiral sequences suggested there:
 
βˆ’
***[[Gemini]]
 
βˆ’
***[[Semena Mertvykh]]
 
βˆ’
***[[Reach For The Dead]]
 
βˆ’
***[[Come To Dust]]
 
βˆ’
***[[White Cyclosa]]
 
βˆ’
***[[New Seeds]]
 
βˆ’
***[[Jacquard Causeway]]
 
βˆ’
***[[Sundown]]
 
βˆ’
***[[Telepath]]
 
βˆ’
***[[Nothing Is Real]]
 
βˆ’
***[[Cold Earth]]
 
βˆ’
***[[Uritual]]
 
βˆ’
***[[Transmisiones Ferox]]
 
βˆ’
***[[Split Your Infinities]]
 
βˆ’
***[[Sick Times]]
 
βˆ’
***[[Palace Posy]]
 
βˆ’
***[[Collapse]]
 
βˆ’
***And it's remarkable. For example, I never noticed just how similar [[Sundown]] & [[Telepath]] are until I heard them side by side. In this order, the entire sequence ends with [[Collapse]], which leaves me feeling unresolved. And so much for "low" vs. "upbeat" halves.
