Prefer "closer to the edit", but for slightly strange reasons - I barely notice its on. Its like giving your mind a warm bath.
Perfect for falling asleep to, fluid evolving music. I've never really heard anything like that album.

Transitions had more bite to it and tracks that had identifiable tracks or sections that had definite ass shake potential.
A bit patchy in places but then it was much longer and much less fluid.

But to be honest if you haven't heard transitions on a proper 5.1 you haven't really heard it.
Which is a bit of an arse, few people have 5.1 systems, and even fewer have 5.1 systems that are up to scratch.
Heard properly it is pretty breathtaking.
Its debatable whether you should really make an album that only 1% of your audience are going to truly appreciate in the way you intended.

Admire what he set out to do, and loved that it came on DVD & CD with loads of extras.
But closer to the edit was unique. Transitions just went a step further on.
