Why is no one talking about the new track? ‘Anne Druyan talking about The Golden Record.’

In the KEXP set, there’s an album outtake or a b-side.

What is this kexp set you speak of?

It’s towards the end of the set and it sounds like it should have had pride of place on the album. Was it canned because they had this sudden disconnect with Druyan? It would make a great interlude or link piece.

I read somewhere she was originally supposed to be on the album, but didn’t come to pass. They didn’t say why.

The last 13 minutes of the mix are beautiful. I think I read somewhere that they didn’t get approval from Annie Druyan to use the interview.

I think I've worked it out. It's the Stephen Schlaks track with loads of samples from WWALY played over the top with Anne Druyan talking about the Golden Record, leading into The Roches. It stars at 47:07 and it's amazing, considering it's like the Mission Statement of the album.
