Remember you got that demo CD in the weeding section because it had a long demo version of Never Land on it? Well, it was the track before that. No vocals, just well-written instrumental parts.James Blast wrote:what Untitled, am there two?

The weed I was referring to was this one, which you did get, but it turns out Untitled wasn't on this one.. weird, I could have sworn it was.
Ah well, you can download it here in the Sharing section.

Worth it for that long untitled alone. Class!
and Never Land (full length) is fan-tas-tic

So you had Untitled from the Domion single. Which was basically a slowed down version of Dominion. Amazingly good.
Then you had This One which was from the Acoustics From The Beehive boot.

eventually i can join this thread
fantastic as a document from the cold war past. it lacks the atmosphere of a fragment as many of you also said, but has got its own very special atmosphere, as many of you said, and the additional (original and full) lyrics are great.
its the earliest version of the three we know i guess. a fragment is simply a productin enhanced mix of the 7.xx min demo, fragment and demo are in fact the very same recording. its now cool to follow the progress of this track
the rererelease in 2013 (25th annversary) will then include the this corrosion demos, i am shure......

Somehow all Sisters songs, even doctor jeep, get their hooks into my brain. After just one listen, they fix themselves there. No other band has that effect on me. Hearing the full version of Never Land for the fist time a few weeks back reminded me of how good that feels. A (sort of) new Sisters song, melting, deliciously into my brain. Only bad thing is: I’d come to accept the possibility that I might never hear a new sisters album, but now I don’t just want one, I need one.

Never Land Reissue is the song which I'll play on and on here on May the 2nd, while drinking myself to death and crying in my pillow, if I don't find enough courage in me to get on that plane. 
Because the lyrics kinda fit the situation.

"get on that plane"
so, you're going to spend good money that could be spent on the finest wines and etc. to go and see a shadow
stay home, play Wake and get drunk

If I stay home, I'll most definitely play one of the 2009 shows.
Wake is just a shadow these days for me.

A post of interest from Dominion (it does happen - which is why I'm still subscribed). Included in its entirety, as the bits not related to Never Land might also have an audience...
[/quote]Alex Shirley wrote:I have a Dominion CD single with Ozymandias on it... it's featured at the beginning on the Dominion video as well.
There were a large number of sax tracks (6 or 12?) on several slave masters recorded on the Dominion tracks, and several days were spent clumping them together and spinning in the takes (remember take was analogue in those days, well digital 36 track tape was just coming in)... It's actually brilliantly done if you regard it as a piece of art... Andrew recognised the fact the sax wave form sounds is exactly the same backwards as forwards.... once he'd done that he went straight off to shoot the Dominion video.
Never Land (Full Length) by the way is NOT a demo, this mix was done at exactly the time done at the same time as the mix on the album... the record company (WEA) simply preferred one mix over another. In my view (and possibly Andrew's) the full length version is superior to the mix on the original album. I was in the room when Andrew played both versions to the record company, and when the record company guy said he prefer the "short" version, Andrew simply replied something like "yes, thought you would"... as it certainly had a more "commercial" sound.
I suspect (not sure) the reason why it was included in the remasters was Andrew definitely wanted it out... for good reason.
Another thing was in 1959, no piano part was played exactly the same (different notes) I believe... it's subtle as it feels like an endless loop to the listener.
Ah trivia...
