well — this version exists. and i own it.

things are as follows. a good friend of mine, who used to work at v2 records years ago, recently gave me a promo of a hundred days off for internal use at the record company (a so called 'industry promo', as i am told). i was going to put a post up here next week or so (after clearing some deadlines) but since this subject comes up now, here is my post.

the cd turns out to be a pre-mastered version of ahdo. it's a cdr in a plain white sleeve with a photocopy of printed titles glued to the front.

the album is still called 'ansum'. tracks are in a different order and it misses little speaker, which gives the album a different overall feel. all the tracks are at least slightly different from the final ahdo. most of this is due to the final mixing and mastering. but sometimes the difference is more apparent (such as longer/shorter fadeouts, or changes in percussion. the latter most noteably in trim and ballet lane).

but, by far the most interesting are the much longer versions of mo move and twist. twist is more than two minutes longer: 8.47. it ends with a harder, percussive bit. damn good. and mo move, twice as long at 13.49, extends with what became the ambient-ish second part of little speaker on ahdo, but then longer. which sounds pretty logical, actually...

i did not find any mention of this promo anywhere on the net... did anybody else here know of its existence? i think i saw some promos listed with this track listing, but then the actual music resembled the final ahdo...

this is the tracklisting:

1. two months off — 9.07
2. twist — 8.47
3. sola systim — 6.11
4. ess gee — 2.17
5. mo move — 13.49
6. trim — 3.18
7. dinosaur adventure 3d — 7.55
8. ballet lane — 3.26
9. luetin — 7.06
total time — 61.55
