That is some terrible artwork but the 9 minute version of Night on the Sun is definitely worth staring at that monstrosity. 

If they were really worried about the artwork being too similar to M&A, they could've just used the artwork from the Japanese CD release, no? 

Either way, I'm happy that Glacial Pace are reissuing all these things after so long. YAY!

Prob because the original art is so close to M&A? They could have picked something that wasn't terrible.

This is actually a reissue of the Japanese CD release, which is different from the Night on the Sun EP that UP released with the handshake cover.

Oh sick I didn't even know about that. I'll still wait on this but I'm more interested now.

It's blowing my mind that I've never heard the extended version of Night On The Sun until now since it's one of my favorite songs of all time. Even though not much is added it's even better with that ending, definitely buying this regardless of the artwork (which I guess is supposed to have a Japanese feel to it?).
