OK ... couple of different stories here
- Freur demo tape - believe it or not - turned up in a used record
store in the UK around 1989-90. Tape was in a box with a gold foil
hand written cover (and yes it is karls handwriting). A guy named
Trevor Andrews who was one of the guys on my Underworld mailing list
(pre-Internet) found it ... having recognised the name of some of
the tracks ... and paid about 3 quid for it if i remember correctly!
- All the other stuff came from Rick and/or Karl. They gave me a few
unreleased items on tape, probably to stop hearing me beg so much.
Apparantly Alabaster is just some experimental track they were
playing around with (!) and they supposedly recorded the phone bits
late at night / early morning where they phoned up one of their
management people and kept quiet ... just kept taping ... so if you
get a phone call in the middle of the night but its quiet on the
other end ... be polite!
* Transmutations stuff speaks for itself ... some songs from the
film soundtrack (called "Underworld" in the UK) that Freur composed
and recorded.
* Gypsy Hairdo was some track they did for a convention (something
to do with hair i think)
* Fever (dance mix) an unreleased mix for a song that never made it
to be released as a single from the CTW album
* Richard Skinner session the songs from the Radio One set
* Promised Land the unedited version of a song from the Wild Orchid
sountrack. Lyrics of this are on the CTW album inner sleeve.
