Originally a limited-edition sold on tour, and the band's last release before singer Trish Keenan's death in 2011, mini-album Mother Is the Milky Way was more about fragmentary sound collages than songs. However, In Here the World Begins, floating Keenan's vocals over a murky, slowed-down tape loop, showcases a strange and compelling power, underscoring the band's unique approach during their final years.
