is Tsunami worth all the hype Nicky has been giving it over the years?

Tsunami is probably the least interesting of the demos because it is basically the live version. Tolerate is also a bit boring as it doesn't sound much different to the single version. The live rehearsal demos are very interesting, particularly Be Natural. I guess this is how it would have sounded had they played it live back in 98.

Having sat with the demo's for an hour or so, I'm not sure how we got TIMT in its final form. Listening to the demos, while having the same structures, the songs sound completely different. It really makes me value the production on the final products. If any of the albums deserve a making of documentary, it's surely TIMT. It really seems like the band completely changed the way they approach music making between these demos and the final album. Where the demos sound like they're rushing, the recorded songs just have this endless quality where they breath for an entirely. I could easily see an album with most of the demo's where Prologue, Montana and Black holes as singles.

The vinyl download code is just the first disc in 320kbps mp3

"I'm not Working" sounds like it's the song that uses the Coral Electric Sitar that JDB was reputed to be using at the time. I don't know why but I always saw that as a keyboard part before.

Love the drum madness in Be Natural toward the end

Listening to the demo version of “Be Natural” immediately brought this to mind. Skip to 2:46.

Mine’s still not turned up yet. :mad: |
“Prologue To History” live rehearsal just makes me want to strangle Nasmyth.
|
The mp3s also say that they were produced in 2013. Don't know if that's an accident or if it's been shelved a while.

I buy the boxes mainly to keep the band in operation as I doubt Spotify pays for many mansions. |

The main takeaway from disc 2 is that they messed up bad with the album version of SYMM. The demo had potential to grow into something much better than what they ended up with.
