I'd love to hear Keith wrap his tonsils around some of these...Dark Side maybe?

Now that I've lived with the album for a few days, and had a chance to listen to it without distractions, I'd like to say a proper thank you, guys, for releasing this stuff.  It may only be demos, but they're very good, and while many of the tracks are new to me, the sound/style/music/band line-up takes me right back 20+ years.  Superb.  It's cool to have this great music, and those demos on the limited CD last year (that dood who did the Helpless edit - what a guy!), and those demos on Signs, and the One Rule/Wildflower sessions - after many years with nothing, and nothing to hope for, we suddenly have lots of new ATF to listen to!  It's great.  And it's fascinating to listen to this stuff in sequence, and to see how the band developed/developes.  Keep it coming!

Any further comments on the inspiration for the tracks, and can you remember whether you had any ideas on how (or if) you were going to develop the songs further?  And Genz, listed as a bonus track: is that from the same sessions, or a different period altogether, or same period but perhaps not intended/discussed for inclusion with the album?  And the track listing (1-10), was that as intended then, or sequenced after careful consideration now? (I'd be happy regardless of what the answer is to that last one - just be interested to know!)

Thanks!!  Answers by 3.30pm Friday or you get detention.

...oh, and cheers for including Space Walking!

Are the lyrics for the AT2F CD available anywhere? If so, where, PLEASE!

Still can't commit to a favourite track or tracks...it's all just too much of a joy to listen to.

I pre-ordered my copy, but haven't seen it yet - should I be getting worried (or just jealous of those that have?)

Picked up mine from Pete on Tuesday.  I think it's a great package of songs & sleeve notes/pics.

Will be great to hear some of these live - again.

I got my long awaited copy this weekend. What a real shame it never made it back all those years ago. There are a few tracks that would have been chart material at the time. After a couple of plays one of my first thoughts was did YES play on Genz ?? The track could have been pulled strait off one of their albums. (this isn't a criticism but major praise). As has been said before it is a pity it never got the full production, but beggars can't be choosers and I'm just thankful that we have one more CD's worth of ATF
