This was used for the demo of 'Disco at the end of the world', and later became the backing for 'The Moving Walkway' on [r=1002833]. 4-4 : audience recording of a minimalist show in Kansas City Missouri in 1981, with backing track recorded at Foel Studio. 4-5 : comes from The Pied Piper recorded in 1978.

The second part is a sound collage by Harry using Dave Sawyer's paper drum and other odd percussion. 4-10 : another fun late nigth rework of the final track from the first volume. 4-11 : 'War is over': Tasmin Smyth came to stay for a while and was inspired to write some tunes on the topic. These were not included in the eventual release — 'Armageddon': Tom The Poet improvises a chilling scenario — 'Wassillissa Flute': little flute piece from [m=55152]. 4-12 : there were no tiger recording available in Devon.
