Tracks 1 to 7 are definitely from a studio session I've never heard before. They (except Mountain View) are early versions of the songs on s/t. Tracks 8 to 16 are the same versions we've all heard before

Exhausted is a really, really cool song. The main riff is this weird mix of like punk and space/noise rock.

It's on www.sharingthegroove.org if anyone wants it.

Are you saying "Exhausted" is a different version than on the album? Cause the album version is pretty damn awesome already.

Either way, thanks a lot! Saves me from spending money on a bootleg CD. Which, by the way, I'm in the process of collecting all the import singles and such so I can complete my b-sides/rarities collection. I have almost all of them now. Just missing a couple. Maybe I'll have to compile a collection of all those songs for other FF fans...

Diablos, where exactly in sharethegroove, can you provide a link to the thread itself pls... thanks man.

 

[AlphaSnake]

Register and you shall find a shitload of audio and video bootlegs. :rock

I have never heard FF's first album except for a couple songs, so I dunno if it is better or worse than the final version. Demos for songs of that type usually have more of a dreamy/noisy aura to them though. Just compare Sonic Youth's "Disappearer" demo (amazing) to the final version (crap).

Alpha: Your problem. Forward your ports for your router AND firewall software, I'm not uploading this bootleg when it's so easy to obtain to begin with.

Don't know what flac is? http://flac.sourceforge.net/
Download the windows installer, it has a winamp plugin.

FLAC is lossless audio. Just like a WAV file, it has no compression artifacts, but isn't as big as a WAV file. The files are still really big though. This is very important for bootlegs, especially when its source is something that is ALREADY lossy in sound quality just because its original source is like that (like this FF demo tape).

 

[truesayian]

thanks for showing me the flac codec. i'm loving this cd.

 

[Diablos]

Wow, you already got it?

 

[truesayian]

yea i did
i'm already on like the 8 or 9th songs now.

edit:... now that i think about it.. it did dl really really fast for me.. i turned my head and played thug for like 5 mintues, and came back, and it was done..

 

[Diablos]

Heh, you obviously aren't behind a router!

 

[truesayian]

actually i am... a wireless one at that...

 

[Diablos]

WTF.

What router are you using?

 

[Poody]

DIRECT LINK IT

 

[truesayian]

I was using a linksys until this morning then i switched to a wireless..... brb i'm gonna go see what it is..

 

[truesayian]

its a netgear wireless

 

[Rorschach]

I think I already have this, but dling anyway. Foo Fighters rock!

PS: I'm behind a router and getting 130 kbps with other (HUGE) torrents running.

 

[truesayian]

as in naruto huge?... err me too...

 

[Diablos]

Hmm. I get fast speeds on some torrents... others, I don't. Guess it depends on location and stuff too.

 

[Rorschach]

Bah want to listen to it, but I'm ready to crash for the night. I'll fire it up after I get home.

 

[Diablos]

At least listen to Exhausted.

 

[truesayian]

using the DFX plugin with winamp helps it alot.

Diablos, here is the album version for comparison:
