Notes:
Late 2009 drummer Jan-Jaap Bakker left the band and was replaced by Daniël Smit. Several members were studying at Utrecht Conservatory and got involved in several projects. One of them was the soundtrack for a short film, called ‘Chance’. In December 2009/January 2010 they recorded three tracks with producer Eric Schurman for the soundtrack. Dissastisfied with the result, they left the first recorded slightly rough versions in the vaults and re-recorded the first two tracks in slightly smoother, but tighter versions. They also recorded the catchy new track ‘Storybox’, which sounds like an updated ‘Police’. The re-recorded Gerard-penned ‘Blinded’ became their breakthrough single and was later included on their debut album. The other tracks stay unreleased. On this initial version of ‘Blinded’, the chorusses were sung high pitched by Tim, as he does during gigs. There’s also another demoversion of ‘Storybox’, which was made up of separate parts, put together later.
