Notes:
A long, graceful track, with sweeping synth strings and an ethnic bongo-type beat, Eggshell is one of the most memorable pieces on the album. The second half features a ticking clock which gives the piece a very similar effect to Global Communication's 14:31. Yet another title from the endless banter around Earthbeat during 1993:
"''I'm sick of tip-toeing on the eggshells that surround you' Pinn spluttered to Yage referring to his increasingly eggshell ego - 'inside the fragile eggshell mind'"
The track was penned for release as a single in 1994, but the idea was scrapped following the then imminent release of ISDN. Possible material from the EP appeared in the form of archived track
Climbing, while the piece was later reworked as part of the band's 5.1 surround sound exhibition at the Kinetica museum, A Gigantic Globular Burst Of Anti-Static.
