maybe i am thick, as i just don't hear it. in what sense is the structure
more OTG? which songs on OTG are you thinking of in particular? which parts
of these songs have a similar structure? it has a very simple structure,
basic geordie spine-tingler riff (can't say that about anything on OTG,
maybe 'obsession' at a push), chorus, middle eight. it's surely more like a
typical NIGHT TIME track in that sense. that early version of 'solitude',
i'd say that was more of a precursor. quite a bit of the EXTREMITIES stuff
was written back in '88, possibly even before then. many of the songs that
ended up on the album were played live repeatedly through '89, before the
album was released, along with 'the fanatic'. it would have slotted in very
neatly on ED&VRE but would have stuck out like a sore thumb on OTG. if there
is a bridge between the two albums then it's track 11 on the latter - the
segue from the haunting coleman composition 'kaliyuga' into defiant
"full-stop followed by an exclamation mark" anthem 'struggle'.
todd, back me up, man! am i right or am i right?

Cos the song structure is more OTG but the delivery is harder. It's a
precursor to Extremities.
You thick or something?

how does it bridge the gap between OTG and EXTREMITIES?
