Commentary:

Length of this track varies across the various releases….LP 8:28, CD 10:06, promo 10:30; the LP has does not have the introductory guitar section.

Described by one forum member as, “das boat is claustrophobic, like being locked in with Steve Reich and Residents in a washing machine”. Best described as experimental album filler.

It is actually listed as Das BOOT on the US version of the album.
