Hi all!
The other day I finally cracked the track listing of the much circulated original Japanese bootleg of the Metamatic Demos ie Metamatic Sessions. John will surely put this one to rest with his release of Metamatica, so before Metamatic Sessions fades into insignificance, here´s the track listing:
1) Quiet Man 3
2) Quiet Man 4
3) Musique D'Ameublement
4) A New Kind Of Man (alternative version 1)
5) A New Kind Of Man (alternative version 2)
6) He´s A Liquid (alternative version)
7) He´s A Liquid (instrumental)
8) Piano Piece
9) Mr No
10) Drums 1
11) Echo Piece
12) Burning Car
13) Jamie´s Theme
14) 20th Century
15) Glimmer
16) Film 1
17) Bed Flight
18) Touch & Go (strings)
19) Drums 2
20) Bed Cellar
1) and 2) are from The Touch Meridians cassettes.
3) is from the original CD version of From Brussels With Love.
4) is from the factory vinyl pressing of A New Kind Of Man single.
5) is a pointless slowed down version of 4).
6) is from the b-side of the 12" promo of Underpass.
7), 8), 10), 11), 13), 17), 18), 19) and 20)are from the cassette bootleg called The Metamatic Demos ie the unreleased The Bed Soundtrack, recorded from the original Master. The correct running order of The Bed is:
He's a Liquid (instrumental)
Piano Piece
Drums 1
Drums 2
Echo Piece
Jamie's Theme
Bed Flight
Touch & Go (strings)
Bed Cellar
9), 12), 14), 15), 16) are poorly recorded B - sides and A - side from the single vinyls.
So, in the end there is nothing Demo about these!
BTW Cathedral Oceans Live at Shrewsbury is proving rather difficult. :p
