(short description of each in parentheses was provided by MJR)
- Inferno - pre-production
(2002 - Basic demo for the song - very close to the final version.) [note from Jax: Russ' ad libs are funny on this one] - Odyssey - Sketch for Intro/Main Theme
(2002 - This was the first draft of the intro - some of the orchestral parts used here appear in the final version - with a few modifications.) - Eyes of Medusa - original title: Gates of Misery
(1996 - Pre-production with a different chorus and extended solo section. A bit long - but interesting.) - A Winter's Dream, Part II - Rough Mix with Rod Tyler
(1995 - A few weeks before Russell joined the band, we were still in the studio, tracking for the Damnation CD... Rod had already sang on a few tunes and this was a rough mix from one of the sessions.) - Disillusioned - first demo
(1993 - One of the very first songs we sent to the Japanese label - very rough demo.) - The Star Wars Theme and 'too much free time'
(1999 / 2000? - MJR's arrangment of The Star Wars Suite - for 13 guitars and percussion. Wacky stuff.)
