My personal preferences with split hairs and demo comparisons: TEG - M1 version, Disco King sucked Raindrops + Sunshowers - M1 version. Studio demo is promising but undeveloped. Try - M1 version. The MII ambulance siren synth drives me insane. Heavy Metal Machine - M1. I refuse to accept that the MII/Myspace versions are anything other than first-take drum machine demos GATGC - Studio demo is a thing of sublime beauty and is the only right answer Crying Tree Of Mercury - Myspace piano demo BSBT - Arising/FAEOMM tape version Sacred + Profane - Intro drumbeats on the promo version are a nice added touch Age of Innocence: Promo mix is better Glass' Theme - MII version. I like that it's to the point. Dross - MII version Cash Car Star - Version 1/Alternate Saturnine - Judas O version, but I think it'd like the MII version more if it weren't coming from a deep cave twelve feet away If There Is A God - FAEOMM tape version Home - MII version ...And the B-side/Japan version of Speed Kills takes it for me.

the japanese cd uses an edit of speed kills, which is only 3 minutes something instead of 5 minutes something.

Is it any surprise that the Japanese is shorter?

Is it any surprise that the Americans don't have it at all?
No need to even think about it why... #circumstances |

I bolded the ones that have alternate versions I've never heard. Any idea where I could find those? Also, love the description of the Saturnine recording, lol. It's so shitty I can't listen to it. It probably would be decent if not for that, though I still think I'd prefer the Judas O version because it's more interesting than just Billy hitting power chords slowly. |

I used to never, ever listen to that version of Saturnine but over time I grew to appreciate the miserable vibe what they were going for. |

I have been making these lists since MACHINA II came out and over the years, through all the similar posts, I’ve noticed something: everyone’s is so vastly different from mine. Like, it is baffling some of the choices and the stuff usually left out or favored.

Yeah I hear you. I feel like there is no definitive version. There are some M2 songs I absolutely love that few others seem to (Glass, Dross, White Spyder) and others everyone seems to love but me (Slow Dawn, Real Love). So maybe it’s all really good. Or maybe it’s all crap. I just wish it had all gotten released for real back then so that more people would have heard it and maybe we’d all agree on whether or not SP1 ended on a high note.

Just thinking about all this and wondering whether Zeitgeist could have been better. I don’t know if it would have made a difference but I feel like if Billy had made more of an emphasis on the songs he wrote in that era that were more obscure and/or epic, it might have been better received. I’m not sure if the American Gothic songs were in some stage of development when Zeitgeist was recorded, but let’s say they were. If so, what do you think about this track listing?
1. United States 2. Tarantula 3. 7 Shades 4. Again, Again 5. Starz 6. Come On, Let’s Go 7. Sunkissed 8. Rose March 9. Stellar 10. Pomp & Circumstances 11. Bring the Light 12. Gossamer 13. Zeitgeist I dumped Doomsday Schlock, Orchid and FGAC because they all sound various shades of shitty. Also dropped That’s the Way because the lyrics are pathetic, and Neverlost because it’s just a Blissed and Gone rehash. |
