Re: Ansum — A Hundred Days Off industry promo
Swift, thanks again, and again! Great new revelations, if only in listening to familiar tracks in a different order which creates a different feel entirely! I've probably listened to AHDO at least 50+ times, so anything unexpected or out of order makes me reevaluate and reappreciate the original.

TheBang, you beat me to it! I'm at DA3D and making notes! Definitely love the "Twist" drum outtro freak out-- they should have kept this, just to punch up a solid, but midtempo track! "Momove" - expected on the LP sequencing to be DA3D, in this sequence it has even more power than the original. The transitions into The "Little Speaker" piano feature and "Ansum" sounds make perfect sense.
'Ballet Lane" - always one UW's most subtly beautiful tracks, here gets some suble chances, and the closer "Luetin" - somehow sounds even more punchy, though fundamentally the same as the released version.

Could it be that listening closely for differences from the familiar version makes us take notice of bits we hadn't noticed before? Even shuffling the sequence of tracks can have an emotional effect!

Identical to album version:
Two Months Off
Trim
Dinosaur Adventure 3D
Luetin

Differs minorly:
Sola Sistim (just fades out a few seconds earlier than the album version)
Ess Gee (album version has additional wind chime sounds starting at about 2:00, and the final bass note)

Differs majorly:
Ballet Lane (a lot of differences, subtly, starting at about 2:00)
Twist (extended ending)
Mo Move (Ansum mixed onto the end)
