===About Each Song===
+
| 01&nbsp;&nbsp; [[Valentine (song)|Valentine]] #1
−
 
+
| &nbsp;&nbsp; 4:18
−
'''Valentine #1''' and '''#2''' are both very similar, but clearly at different pitches. Possibly just EQed differently.<br>
+
|-
−
'''Body Politic''' is an early version of '''Fix'''. The whole sound has an odd sound to it, and the falsetto voice is very much different.<br>
+
| 02&nbsp;&nbsp; [[Fix (song)|Body Politic]]
−
'''Lights''' is an early version of the Reptile House song, the guitar sounding more distorted. The demo seems to originate from the [[Floorshow EP]] bootleg. Lyrically it is the same, though near the end, Eldritch seems to lose it a little, and screams "In the rain, I'm happy happy happy happy here!" and his voice seems worn out.<br>
+
| &nbsp;&nbsp; 2:47
−
'''Anaconda''' has a different drumbeat, sounds far more positive, and is just Andrew singing and Gary playing.<br>
+
|-
−
'''Driver''' is an unreleased song. The first two lines are the same two found in Heartland, and the rest of the song is about how they'll drive away, at high speed down the highway, not caring about anything. A real pity it never amounted to anything beyond this demo.<br>
+
| 03&nbsp;&nbsp; [[Lights]]
−
'''Good Things''' is the slower mix.<br>
+
| &nbsp;&nbsp; 5:20
−
'''Phantom''' is shorter than the Anaconda/Alice version, lasting only three minutes.<br>
+
|-
−
'''Burn It Down''' is an unreleased track. It's possibly just an early version of [[Burn]]. The drumbeat is slightly different (the characteristic [[Burn]] drumbeat does play once or twice at the end), and the only part of this song officially released was a few lines, recycled as the backwards part of [[Burn]])<br>
+
| 04&nbsp;&nbsp; [[Anaconda (song)|Anaconda]]
−
'''Burn''' is an instrumental take, but still slightly demo-sounding, starting from about halfway through the first verse.<br>
+
| &nbsp;&nbsp; 3:05
−
'''Flood I''' is in fact a demo version of [[Flood II]]! It lasts just over a minute.<br>
+
|-
−
'''Lucretia''' is a demo, the vocals seem little more than an amplified whisper.<br>
+
| 05&nbsp;&nbsp; [[Driver]]
−
'''Never Land''' is a VERY different sounding version of the [[Floodland]] track, and lasts for 7:35(!) It is very long and boring, but it is the fabled "long version".<br>
+
| &nbsp;&nbsp; 3:17
−
'''Untitled''' is not the [[Dominion]] track, but an incredible 7 minute almost acoustic-sounding guitar and drum instrumental. It has been rumoured parts were used for quieter guitar parts in [[This Corrosion]] or that it is even an early version of [[I was Wrong]] (despite sounding completely different!)<br>
+
|-
−
'''Driven Like The Snow''' is a VERY different sounding instrumental take, often titled '''Snowdriver'''.<br>
+
| 06&nbsp;&nbsp; [[Good Things (song)|Good Things]]
−
'''Flood II''', like the previous Flood demo, is incorrect, this is in fact a demo of [[Flood I]]
