The piano part is significantly longer in Ansum, and in this Mo Move/Ansum mashup, than the amount of the piano part used in Little Speaker.

Yes, definitely! I noticed bits of Ess Gee and Ballet Lane that I'd never "heard" before. It's given me some new appreciation for the album.

Some additional thoughts, I've had:

Has anyone ever seen it spelled "Sola Systim" anywhere else? Just wondering if that's a typo.

swift, do you have any information or sense as to when this promo made its way to V2? The album wasn't released until Sept. 2002, but it was being worked on back to 2001 at least.

The track order isn't too different from the final release. Ess Gee moves down a couple slots. Mo Move/Ansum becomes Little Speaker, and Mo Move goes to the front.
