Old Demo?

[winn23]

So, I just found out that Matt released a Demo on The Audio of Being CD. And it is called

[Dan #3]

All Together was recorded during the Audio of Being Era and officially released(after years of floating around the internets for free) on iTunes to coincide with the release of In A Coma.

But why is it not on iTunes then, was it a promo?

[Dan #3]

Fucked if I know.

[Crusader]

It's a b-side. There was another song called Pony Boy leaked with it.

Not sure about Itunes, but as to it being left off AOB from what I remember I think Matt once said he found the piano on the track to be somewhat flat or too lifeless or something.

 

Definately a great song though; personally I always thought the piano fit the mood and lyrics of the song perfectly.

Far too somber for the Audio of Being, but a fantastic song regardless...

Not sure why this was bumped (I assume davidw needed some NF$), but "All Together" was officially released on iTunes as the bonus track on In a Coma.

 

If anyone actually bought the track there (seemed like an easy choice - $25 for "All Together" on iTunes or $25 for the bonus DVD of videos at the store), they never shared it out.

 

Matt intended for it to appear on the hard copy of In a Coma, but he realized it wouldn't fit once he'd finished the recordings for Rooms (disc two).

 

I tried asking him after the Kitchener show in June if he could put "All Together" on iTunes as a separate track, but I'm not sure I got the words out right. (I assume he'd have to get Universal to do it, if they'd even be willing.)
