I think this is one case where the additions to the original album actually detract, or at least they should have been put on the tailend so they would not interfere with an album that was already well thought out. The music is top notch. I once saw a score that showed how Uncle Meat was put together. It was just like an orchestra score. And the care taken shows in the music, very complex but still works wonderfully, hauntingly beautiful music.  It is a shame that rock did not follow down this path more, but I honestly think it is just to much work, the music is very complex,at least the instrumental Uncle Meat parts. This album does not get enough attention and is near the top of any lists of great albums (also put Richard and Linda Thompsons "I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight and the soundtrack to "Paris Tx" by Ry Cooder on that same list). Uncle Meat is also a very playful funny album and a lot of fun if you stick with it and give it a chance to sink in. The album is not like any other album, the only ones that are even somewhat similiar in content are "Weasles Ripped My Flesh" or "Burnt Weeny Sandwich" and neither are as good as "Uncle Meat" but are worth tracking down if you liked "Uncle Meat" "Uncle Meat" is in its own category, like Eno's "Another Green World".
