DISC 4 TIMESTAMPS:
Overview: Mostly the band practicing/trying stuff out with earlier versions of well-known tracks. Some interesting synth-ish stuff thrown in towards the beginning.
0:05 This is background for some track I should recognize but I don’t (bass + synth) (Someone should see if they can ID this) Is this Man of War? What is this?
1:38 No Surprises demo. Much acoustic guitar strumming, kind of jammy
5:55 Blip of Bullet Proof
5:58 Weird techno drums + piano Oh this is True Love Waits with synths and electronic drums, no thom singing tho (PLS CONFIRM TLW SOMEONE) [< its for sure tlw]
11:03 Wacky electronic drums with some weird ambient type crowd-ish noises very OKC
14:37 Either another version of the above or a continuation. Crowd noises sound like metro/transport announcements from A Reminder?
18:22 Paranoid Android “You don’t remember” section but like.. Different. Thom is talking through changes and they’re practicing
20:27 More practicing of the same section
21:41 More practicing “You don’t remember” section. Transition to “Rain down” section this time No backing vocals. “Hallelujah” version of this section. Rain down section jam that’s fire
27:22 Motion Picture Soundtrack early version super chill bass/drums/lil electric guitar. Has synth strings. Beautiful angel verse included.
33:01 Motion Picture Soundtrack same style early version. These are good versions.
38:05 Airbag Lacks final intro. Full band. Somewhat rough. Guitar solo similar to album version. Longer outro.
43:02 Airbag fast forwarded? Then started again. Much like previous but perhaps fuller? Outro is better? This is gud.
48:03 The Tourist early version, different lyrics, can’t make them out well “If you ..smething”. Different vocal melodies in here interesting stuff
51:03 Practicing alternate verse of The Tourist? Uncertain.
52:09 More practicing Tourist. Early version of chorus in here. Different lyrics, similar melody.

10:37 last flowers (another early version (wtf does he say semen here) (“appliances have stopped”) (this is so sweet i’m gonna cry))

12:27 Gorgeous full band jam or instrumental song with organ and ride cymbal keeping time

42:54 Zx computer noises
43:46 Radio or TV ambience recording – dialogue from a movie?

2:40 – ? (starts off acoustically, goes full band, slow song. “Walk down to the” idk)
7:31 – Let Down (sounds like a rehearsal, very rough, early lyrics too)
12:51 – Karma Police (again probably a rehearsal, different drums, no guitar, more bass… sounds like a really rough version of it… different lyrics too)
15:04 – Karma Police (the same rehearsal, more distortion on the bass though, and guitar… sounds more like a rock song tbh “THIS IS WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU FUCK WITH ME”, it then goes instrumental til the end.
17:32 – Last Flowers (jonny is fucking killing it here, jk idk what he’s doing. More band oriented, different lyrics, but same melody and key)
20:41 – ? (“tell me something, I need a job” unknown song, audio tears alot)
24:33 – Let Down (Guitars mostly, different arrangement, REALLY LONG, they’re probably learning more how to play it. I remember they said back then they never really played Let Down live due to it being “too complicated”, jonny switches to organ later on.)
25:23 – Life in a Glasshouse (very different from the finished version, sounds like a rehearsal, but has the same melody, jonny is killing it on the organ tho)
35:01 – Life in a Glasshouse (bedroom recording, just thom and his guitar)

18:02 – ? (most likely from the same 4-track demo, could also be on the cassette tape)
21:40 – Let Down (a more acoustic arrangement with no drums, different lyrics, also the gain is too fucking high)
27:25 – Airbag (live demo recording, slightly seeks and skips, also jamming at the end)
29:30 – Airbag jamming
30:05 – Colins bass notes (for airbag)

1:45 Thom acoustic demo of Palo Alto, lyrics differ slightly from final version
3:21 above abruptly breaks into Are You Someone? (featured on OKNOTOK cassette), then returns to Palo Alto
5:43 found sounds of the city and TV
14:33 Exit Music Thom acoustic demo, more alternate lyrics
16:30 found sounds of the city, band rehearsing distantly in the background?
27:43 Lift full band monitor (incomplete)
29:35 return of television found sounds
35:50 Ed and Thom talking before acoustic jam with Thom mumbling overtop
37:38 acoustic guitars, reminiscent of the ending of IMBW
38:10 acoustic guitar noodling, Attention?
39:25 Thom acoustic demo, unknown song (“lay it on the ground/it’s driving me insane”)
43:21 jazzy full band rehearsal noodling, Phil drum solo in stereo midway
45:57 acoustic guitar noodling,sounds like incidental western music
46:22 choir sounds recorded off a TV
47:32 Thom acoustic demo of Polyethylene pt. 2, alternate lyrics (“the little things”)
Thank you anon

DISC 14 TIMESTAMPS:
Lots of live versions, a few unknown tracks. A few appearances from “Attention” track.
0:05 Lull early version, different key?
3:22 another version of hurts to walk
4:24 Cut in the tape, sounds like more hurts to walk
5:53 More hurts to walk, Thom proud of his funky clothes
8:55 Acoustic Demo “He’s not for sale” (Contains lyrics “little by little,” seems to have no relation to TKOL)
9:33 Airbag, early, acoustic, alternate lyrics (“In the next world war, an angel at my door..”)
13:13 Overlapping conversation, sounds English
14:06 Electioneering live, Thom introduces it as “This is a new song.” They have some fun with it. Some lyrical variation from final version.
17:29 Same live session, transitions to Lift, with O Superman by Laurie Anderson intro. Good performance. (thanks to u/shanerichmond for fix)
21:35 Airbag acoustic-ish. Similar style to 9:33 above, but a different performance.
26:11 Airbag acoustic again, live. See above.
30:40 Unreleased performance of “Attention” – lyrics about “Joy of the uprising / an action with some meaning”
34:25 “Attention” again. Sounds like a full performance. Seems cleaner.
39:19 Unknown jam session sounds very OKC not sure if it’s any song in particular? Someone check this
40:26 Skips around a couple times, resolves to Lift, sounds like a live performance
44:15 Jamming on Airbag (sounds like) “It’s on tape, yeah?” -Thom
44:32 Unknown – Thom singing over muted acoustic guitar track. “Is anyone around? / I think you’re crazy / for wanting me to tell” or something like that. Volume level on voice jumps around a bit. Almost sounds like early version of a couple different things. Guitar cuts in/out a bit near end. Thom’s really gettin’ it. “You’re always on the phone”
49:04 Paranoid Android, Soundcheck? Thom directing volume levels a bit. Relatively unstructured. Slight variation in “rain down” section lyrics. “It’s gonna rain down on you”
52:15 Airbag, see all above instances of Airbag it’s very similar. Maybe some extra synth-y stuff in this one?
56:53 Electioneering live. Sounds weirdly distant. Vocal tracks almost seem isolated? “Give me one of them prizes”, “Doin’ it all” lines are in here. Must be an early performance.
1:00:26 I Promise, live. Thom introduces. Most of his speech is fast-forwarded. “I can’t read music, these are words.” — “-REM tour, and I still look” — “-he said he didn’t mind. This is a new song, called I Promise”. Has “I won’t fool around no more” verse. Otherwise, lyrics identical to remastered version.
1:04:37 Paranoid Android “Why don’t you remember my name” part. Sounds live? Not sure. Alternate “rain down” lyrics from above (49:04) are not present here. “Hallelujah” variation of “rain down” lyrics also absent. Thom sings a backing harmony part here after the normal lyrics. No “that’s it sir” part.
1:06:29 “Attention” again. Cuts in for first verse, no intro. Unsure of lyrical differences with other versions on this file.
1:09:20 “Attention”, but I’m not sure I’ve heard these lyrics yet? “There’s nothing better to do / I’m taking off my clothes because I’ve got the hots for you”. Also there are backing vocals this time.
1:10:00 “Attention”, cut to the actual “Attention” part, with backing echo vocals, and some vocal effects now.
1:10:44 I Promise live. Introduction: “This is for the girl who just said ‘Thom help me I’m dying’ down in the front”. Drums sound very much like they do on remaster version. Has extra “fool around” verse, but no “funny look” line from 1:00:26 version. According to redditor /u/EsotericCD, this performance is from 4/12/96 Roseland Ballroom. Thanks for the ID!
1:13:31 Song cuts out
1:13:39 END OF TAPE

DISC 15 TIMESTAMPS:
0:02 Literally 3 seconds of Subterranean Homesick Alien

37:59 Subterranean again. What’s different? End 42:44
