SPLIFF RIFF (CONGA'D OUT) Recorded at the Whitehouse, Weston-super-mare, 1992? Released on Sessions1 (opens in a new tab), Rocket (launch0008) in 2000.
NEU75! (OR HASHTAG75) Recorded on my walkman sometime before 2000 in our rehearsal room, PIJ, King's Square, Bristol. An edited version of this was on 'Everybody knows.. (opens in a new tab)'. This version is all of it, which the original 7" claimed to be but wasn't. Released as the b-side to spliff riff, Sessions1 (opens in a new tab).
DISAPPEAR INTO CONCRETE AND MEAT. Paul's kraut/electronica outing as a bonus 7" with Sessions2 (opens in a new tab) (Launch15a) Had to chop it for the LP edition here, full version on cd. Recorded at his home, I think, on the Jen2000. Released 2002.
FILLER. Sessions2 (opens in a new tab), recorded in our rehearsal room,(PIJ) not sure on what, not even sure I was there? Quite a punk tune with a great coda.
JELLYSTONED LOOP. My effort or a waste of an evening at home. Edited version released on the bonus 7" Sessions2 (opens in a new tab). Apologies if this is too much, weed.
PLANET SUITE. Recorded in the rehearsal room, straight to minidisc, I think, round about the turn of the century. Some great bowing by Paul. We wanted to do a chilled track with plenty of space, think we got there. Released on Sessions2 (opens in a new tab).
LONG GONER. Another jam recorded straight to walkman in the rehearsal room, through a desk into a 4 track maybe? (Paul on the mix?) Full version. An edit closes 'Everybody knows... (opens in a new tab)' Another edit originally released on Sessions2 (opens in a new tab).
KRT (PARTS 1+2). Recorded again on walkman/rehearsal room, PIJ, turn of the century. The D90 ran out on 46 minutes, the whole thing is here. An edit of part2 was released on Sessions2 (opens in a new tab).
