I have some questions about some old tracks and stuff. I'd be great if Hans answer some of them =) (or, if you know too :P).

- What happened with the songs "Let's float forever" and "Next end cottage"? Did you change the title and right now these are another songs, or you just removed them from the tracklist of How to measure a Planet? ?

- Why "Probably built in the fifties" wasn't a single altough you planned to release it as a single?

- At first Century Media did not wanted the album How to measure a Planet? as a double album, but at last, they agreed and you weren't able to change the tracklist, it seems, altough you wanted to put a stronger opening song. Which song were been? Maybe "Probably built in the fifties"?

- Why didn't you release "Third chance" in Mandylion CD?Or it was recorded after Mandylion sessions?

- What happened with "Solar Glider"?

- Do Frank and René sing well? :D (I'm talking about Strange Machines and In motion 2 ;))

- What about putting the live video of Jelmer playing with the band Strange machines in 2000? =)

- What happened with Diep Triest?

- Why "Jelena" was going to be called "Richard"?

- How much have we to wait until a B-sides compilation will be released? :)

- Hans, you told in an interview that "These good people" wasn't going to appear in Souvenirs, but at last, it appeared. Why this change of mind?

- Another " songs-that disappears" question :P: What happened with "Mokaka", "Telson II" and "Sleepy Buildings" (although it appeared in the last album)? I'm not sure, but I've heared that Telson II it's avalaible in the vynil version of Souvenirs in the same track of "Telson I", both together. It's that true?

-----

Oh well, I think I'm gonna finish :lol:. I hope someone can answer those questions I have in mind, thank you in advance :flower:

Edit: I've added two more questions after reading an interview in "Prog-Nose" =)

official website wrote:
During the writing process of Mandylion, the demos of In motion #2 or Strange Machines were sung by you or René. And you wrote the song Solar Glider. Are they planned to be released? Hans wrote on the webpage that Solar Glider could be a gift for the fanclub...
Frank : Pff... No, we're not planning to release those songs at all actually! Well, Solar Glider is a song we recorded once like a demo and there is no lyrics on it. It's just not a real song... So I don't think we'll ever release it... [laughter]

voilà, now it's up to you to dig the contents of the site for more answers :)

Thank you Burn :green:

Btw I also read that the song wasn't relseades because the band though it was too "happy" to fit in the Mandylion sound :-?

PS: Hans, we're waiting for you, lalala :flower:

Hey Burn, I think we should create a part of the forum called something like "Questions to the band". It will be Hans's corner :D That's what we do at the paradiselost forum. It's a good idea.

Not a bad idea but first the band should agree or not ;)
and then of course Martijn would have to creat this section... He's admin I'm just here to tell you to shut your mouth up :green:
