Re: Dark Matters - Extra Tracks
This has been removed from YouTube now. What tracks were on there?
Re: Dark Matters - Extra Tracks
The French version of Down is really great - prefer it to the English one.

Some of the extras are available on the Japanese version, I will try to source it, a great live version of Toiler and Freedom. Lt Kudu.
Re: Dark Matters - Extra Tracks
French Down, acoustic If Something's.. and the live tracks were well worth the (FOC) entry fee.

Re: Dark Matters - Extra Tracks
I've only really listened to the acoustic version of "Down" (which I prefer to the album version, a little) and I'd quite forgotten that the other three acoustic tracks were pre-released in video form before the album was out.

Re: Dark Matters - Extra Tracks
I think I would agree , Japanese , French and accoustic versions of my least liked DM songs , the two of three I wouldn't listen to , even more so if accoustic . I did hear them some review of the Japanese version of DM , interested due to the extra tracks until I found it was "Down " plus some live songs , admittedly of decent songs . Until that point I was curious about buying the Japanese and French versions ......Down though , no thanks .Not that I dislike , but I wouldn't bother with that particular song , or Lines or Breathe . Now , if it was an extended White Stallion that's another story , or unreleased songs etc ........
All quiet ..........

Re: Dark Matters - Extra Tracks
Indeed, it's like... "why would I need more versions of 'Down'?" or "why would I need an acoustic version of 'The Lines'?" or "why do I need a live version of 'Freedom is Insane'?" or "why do I need to hear a recent Stranglers line-up murder 'Toiler on the Sea' when I can listen to MKI perform it how it should be performed on either the studio version on Black and White or the incredible live version on All Live and All of the Night?"Jon the Impaler wrote: ↑05 Oct 2021, 15:34I think I would agree , Japanese , French and accoustic versions of my least liked DM songs , the two of three I wouldn't listen to , even more so if accoustic .
