"Those
sessions we did when we recorded "The Siket Disc" yielded some
of the material that ended up on [the 1998 album] "The Story of
the Ghost." We put lyrics on top of "Roggae," "End of Session,"
"Meat," and "Ficus." About half the songs on the album were from
that session. "The Siket Disc" was the things left over from that
session that we didn't put lyrics on top of. ... It was never
trying to be anything, so there was very little to dislike."

"I didn't like it at first.
I thought it was too weeded down and missing some of the coolest
jams. It was 35 minutes from 50 or 100 hours or something. Then,
one night on the bus, we started playing it and I really liked
it, late at night. It fit the vibe perfectly and we started playing
it on the tour bus on a regular basis. It's one of the only instances
I can remember when we regularly played our own music. I grew
to like it." - Mike, to Billboard, 12/21/02
