I just got it in the mail yesterday. Oh my god!! These songs are incredible! I never realized how much of a headfuck Infinity was supposed to be. Boy if these songs were on that album it would be absolutely perfect!

That's why I love dev. He takes care of his fans and releases almost everything he does in some shape way or form. I am a better person now that I've heard these songs. Sit in The Mountain is just addicting!! Om is a tour de force and Processional is an absolute lapse into godliness!! Very good shit. It says something when your b-sides are better than most other bands' musical careers

Absolutely right!

OM is one of my favourite songs...and the start of Processional has some of Devin's best vocal work, in my opinion. Sit In The Mountain is simply beautiful.

And Love Load is....mad! Havent heard the original though.

I still to this day can't believe that Sit In The Mountain never made it onto Infinity or any other album for that matter...

I'll get my copy of the Christeen EP together with DevLab, Punky Brüster and the press CD next week. I've been waiting for two years and now I'll finally get it.

The first thing I'm going to do is to reassemble the Infinity tracks and put the songs from the EP in between, so I get the "original" Infinity tracklisting... one song needs some serious cutting and some more need to be cross-faded and stuff like that. It'll be interesting and I hope it won't be too hard to get all that stuff done.

Absolutely. One of my favourite songs and could've saved me years of finding that album just slightly annoying.

As I said on another thread:

"...just replace Bad Devil with Om and WCB with Sit In The Mountain. That'd do it. That'd be perfect for me."

I know that wouldn't be the original track list, but it'd be a great one. Plus I wouldn't wanna lose Noisy Pink Bubbles which wouldn't be on the album if it'd been released to it's original tracklisting.

Imagine though if Infinity had all the tracks it does have AND the ep stuff too. It'd be mammoth!! Nearly reaching double album lengths!

I love this CD. I had it before but was finally able to really purchase it last week. It still amazes me. Processional is one awesome track. Almost like a soundtrack. Awesome stuff!

I agree with the comment about b-sides from Devin being better than most band's entire careers. It's amazing how with only five tracks that Devin can blow the mind as much as he does. Amazing work!

Some of his best work. Thank god he thinks enough of his fans to put all the "not so good"(Yeah right!!!!) stuff out there on these neat little web-only CDs.

A rare thing indeed...

No they're not. Maybe the song "Ocean Machines" off ASD1 comes close, but the other stuff sounds more like "demos" in the usual sense of the word. The songs on the Infinity EP are quite incorrectly labeled as "demos".

but the ass-sordid demos are still good? yes?

Just like King Fear said - the Ass Sordid stuff generally has a slightly less "polished" sound cf. that of the Infinity EP, but still worth a listen to get into some of Dev's roots.

Good. Yes. :wink:

What he said. Good, yes, mindblowing, no.

I always say that same thing. It would've made a perfect second single for the album.
