iamneorev - thanks for the refresher, I was familiar with some of that - but certainly not everything, and I guess I just confused / 'mis-remembered' the cover of "Nightboat To Cairo" with "Ghost Town"

I had no idea "Back 2 Skool" was that old! Or that there was a vocal version of “Dead Ken Beats”.

It’s a shame that AONO v1 was scrapped… it’s also weird hearing Flint’s version of BGAT, with so little emphasis on ‘rohypnol’. I just don’t get why Liam would go “oh let’s make THAT the chorus”.

Ages ago, I found a fan edit of BGAT which restructures the track, so ‘No Name, No Number’ is the hook (which is much, much less cringeworthy)

Oh yea - I remember hearing about “The Uranus Experiment”… I never understood WHY 3D & Liam would do a porno soundtrack. 3D’s track was called “Inflight Data” - luckily, you can find it without moans, on a mix cd for the “Nocturne” club. I could be wrong, but I think there’s at least one more song from the “film.”


One (small) correction about "No Souvenirs" -> technically UNKLE didn't leak the song on the internet....

What happened was - ‘someone’ (probably shouldn't say who, don't want to get them in trouble) sold a cd-r of James Lavelle's dj set at a club in Belfast, from 2000.

“Official Bootleg CD Belfast” is two discs, and contains almost all of the same tracks as on the "Do Androids Dream of Electric Beats" x3 cd, except for the appearance of “No Souvenirs”.

One of the people who bought a copy of the dj set cut the track out, and made it available to download on an UNKLE message board.

Elements of the UNKLE remix of “No Souvenirs” were then used in “Narco Tourists” and “Safe in Mind”
