I was so sure all this stuff was going to prove invaluable to scholars -
cultural, historical, musical, name it - that I collected these things
from the final days of M2, as Scattered Order were going out and making a
name for themselves, and planned to sell them to gullible archaeologists
lamenting the Western barbarian's invasion of the Cradle of Civilisation.
Participants include Michael Prowse and Shane Fahey, Dru and possibly
Craig Robertson and Scott Holmes. They're quite nice in themselves - they
were backing tracks for live performance or a projected release, I can't
remember.
16. Heat 03:57
This is one of my favourite Scats songs, evoking, as it's able to do, the
memory of burning footpaths on tender soles. This'd be the final mix.
17. What / (Not Now) 01:50
Both [made up] titles have such a Beckett feel that they should be used in
conjunction. I don't remember much about this at all - except that it
didn't work, and was never used.
