Multimedia Extras: Futuristic Multimedia (This Is Not A Library extras)

This is (most of) the original futuristic multimedia section from the CD version of This Is Not A Library, made available to celebrate the 22nd anniversary of the album's release.

All of this was included as additional data files which, in theory, would be accessible as an extra drive if you inserted the CD into a computer. There would then be a javascript interface (which looked like the album cover image here) where you could select tracks to listen to and read information about them. Sometimes it worked!
The main bulk of stuff was a whole alternate album containing the demo versions that I'd given to the band. The only exceptions were Fat Was A Feminist Issue and Make The World Go Blind which we'd made up together, so there weren't any demoes.
There were also several additional demoes for songs that didn't makeit onto the album, most of which eventually got used elsewhere, and an instructional version of One Last Party to help us work out the arrangement.
All of these tracks have been very gently tweaked to make them techinically listenable, but please be warned that some of them are very rough versions indeed!
