Dunno, I could never make out much of the lyrics except the refrain! :)
It's itself a sort-of reworking of "Let's Loot the Supermarket" off of
_Disposable_.

Yep, same track.  "Oh shit - here comes the monolith!"  And yes, it's from
Terrastock in 1977, with Andy Colquhoun, Ade Shaw, and Andy Ward.  (There's
also versions on _The Deathray Tapes_ and _Gringo Madness_.)

Sadly not...

I think one other track is a duplicate of a previously available one,
"Gunfire in the Night", from _The Deathray Tapes_.

Overall it's perhaps a little patchier than other recent MF product, but
that's partly the nature of the beast, being a compilation from various
sources.  Still, the best tracks are as good as any, esp. "Aztec Calendar",
worth the asking price alone.  Probably not a good starting point, but then
what is?!?
