Comments

• This track also appears on "All Tomorrow's Parties 1.0" (ATPR CD 1) compilation in a slightly different form. "In a Beautiful Place out in the Country (Edit)" is not simply a shorter edition of the original version, but appears to be an alternative mix of "In a Beautiful Place out in the Country". It starts with a drumbeat instead of the melody, and ends with an extension of the quiet tune heard at the end of the EP version. Additionally, "In a Beautiful Place out in the Country (Edit)" does not fade out during the final part.

• While the CD version of the EP makes it clear that the vinyl release should be played at 45rpm, "In a Beautiful Place out in the Country" in particular sounds excellent at 33 1/3, taking on a more dreamlike, haunting quality. An MP3 of the song at this speed was at one time available on the file-sharing network Soulseek.

Samples / Lyrics

• "Come out, and live with a religious community in a beautiful place out in the country", vocoded voice of Amo Bishop Roden from a 1996 episode of the TV series "Mysteries Magic & Miracles" titled "Visions, Cults, Alchemy & More".

• The slightly different laughs heard at 3:42 are sampled from Singing Games (Children's Singing Games 1983 Saydisc Records). The sample is about 9 seconds long

Trivia

• Ranked #360 on Pitchfork Medias top 500 Songs of the 2000's.
