I think I heard mention that Gary had 16 songs for Exile and we only got 9. So there must be at least 6 more from the Pure sessions if he has written more for this album than any other. I suspect some evolve into songs on the next album but still I am sure many would like to hear them in their primal form. The Radial Pair EP was quite illuminating into seeing the transition from M&S to Sacrifice. Maybe Gary is waiting for the time when he and Eagle part company, Numa Records version III emerges, and we get Babylon volumes 8 through 14. Come to think of it, didn't Gary say that all the missing material didn't appear as bonus tracks on the Numa era remasters because they were holding some back for b-sides. Shame there haven't been many singles to make that come true.

Another time without and the crowd will go violant :-) Indeed, 2 years ago the crowd & people were waiting for AFE as a final encore, but it never came. It was a concert without THE climax. The papers went mad at the time, headlining stuff as: "CROWD GOES MAD AS NUMAN REFUSES TO PLAY AFE" For the UK tours, indeed GN may drop Cars & AFE, but foe European gigs, certainly festivals, he just has to include them somehow.

Just a point that they also used "Me I Disc' From You". on the second episode of the series...played snips of it four times. Not great exposure...but a few pennies for the royalties I expect!!! ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 15 Jul 2001 22:23:59 -0000 From: Markus Dietrich Subject: Want to be there Can someone please invent a time-machine!!! When I hear my Asylum 3 CD or rather live tracks from the early tours, I close my eyes and WANT TO BE THERE!!! I've seen Gary even(or only) 6 times: - Outland tour (Hammersmith Odeon) London - March 1991 - Premier tour (Hammersmith Labatts Apollo) London - April 1996 - Exile tour (Shepherds Bush Empire) London - Nov 1997 - Euro tour, Frankfurt - March 1998 - Euro tour, Munich - March 1998 - Pure tour, Munich - Nov 2000 The stronges impression I have still on the Outland tour! Maybe its because of my first one. But the stage show was more impressiv. IMO! Excellent in that case is the
