Comments

The US version of Flowers, which is missing a bunch of tracks and has a couple of different ones. Why? Why?! OK, according to the liner notes on the NZ version, a different version of the album was released in the US because it was felt the Americans wouldn't get the European stylings. Riiight. The US version doesn't have near the same amount of liner notes as the "Flowers" version - no lyric sheets... Oddly, I like this version marginally more.

Interestingly some of the songs, although not listed as remixes, are different to the versions on "Flowers". Donnie, Travel to Romantis and He Decides are significantly different.
