===REH-AN-1993-10-22===
** Facsimile - sounds like final mix
Abbey Normal rehearsal, recorded on oddball clock-alarm-cassette recorder. Is this a copy of the "rehearsal #3" tape? Or is this the original, and that's the copy? My solo in "Shoobee Doobee" is kind of unmistakable, so it has to be the same session. Cleaned & demagnetized heads right before starting transcription. Recorded at [[2872 Danielsville Road]].
** Monorail: source mix with piano intro and cut-off with echo
* '''Side A''':
** Monorail: source mix, no intro - xylophone, digital piano, a few other oddments
** fragment of "Somehow I Don't Think So"; ends in feedback when Brad starts singing
** Monorail: mix with piano intro, no backwards arpeggio guitar but some backwards guitar chords; no piano-pedal-thunk
** hoppy rhythm piece (Tim's?), mostly sloppy with some good bits
** Monorail: piano intro, kind of fuzzy mix (Dolby C?), ends with pedal thunk
** "Somehow I Don't Think So"
** Monorail: piano intro, kind of fuzzy mix (Dolby C?)...
** "Shoobee Doobee"
** "Think About It"
** re-take of ending
** solo drumming which might be usable as loop
** lots of talking about the ending
** re-take of playout/ending - drummer stumbles
** "Just One Look" - attempt at beginning
** "Just One Look"
** "Harmony"
** "Guitar Lonely" - false start
** "Guitar Lonely" (music, vocals: Tim Kunkle; lyrics: Brian Crum)
** (cut)
** remains of older recording
*** ending of some song of Tim's
*** talking and noodling around
*** Interplanetary Love Affair - gets lost in the middle
*** Interplanetary Love Affair - tape ends after first verse
* '''Side B''': sounds like another rehearsal with Abbey Normal
** cuts in to "Two Ways",
*** played a bit fast (maybe this is how Tim likes it?)
*** keyboard solo is kind of interesting, briefly...
** Tim explains how it works musically
** "Interplanetary Love Affair" - passable? (Brad seems to know all the riffs this time)
*** Tim's vocals at the end kind of... gaah.
*** End kind of stumbles
** "Them"/"Same Spot Twice"
** lots of talking
** [cut to older recording - probably earlier rehearsal at 2872]
** cuts into "Somehow I Don't Think So" (keyboard on plinky organ patch; somewhat slower pace; sloppy)
** talking... Livia arrives...
** cuts off

==Partly digitized==
===APX-101===
''has been partly digitized''
 
* Monorail to Nowhere - source for mix with Rhodes intro
 
Not formally listed, but here's what I heard listening to it just now (towards the end):
* sort of dreamy guitar thing
* The Penguin Song (original tracks?)
* "Perpetual Motion" on stereo piano (fading poorly into "middle of" mix, which is cut off by the tape ending)
===TEAC MDX90===
This was apparently completely digitized, but I'm not sure where the uncut version is. What I have left is some of the individual pieces (indicated in '''boldface''').

*# Primordial (full early version)
*# middle of Brave New World (no synths; voice-sample-splice thingy at end)
