Rupert Hine's own comments on the unreleased tracks 1999-04-20: "The first is a song called 'Take Me To The Void Again.' Jeannette Obstoj's lyrics to a jazz/funky track featuring the three-piece line-up from 'Barracuda' (plus guest guitar from Geoffrey Richardson) but with the 'left-over' jazz-rock/funk flavour of the first album. This 'caught-between-two-stools' aspect was the reason for the song being dropped before work on Barracuda commenced in earnest. The other track was an attempt at a single for 'Barracuda.' A cover song! It is, in fact, the only cover song I have committed to tape (since, as David McIver will correct, my very first single with him - 'The Sound of Silence') and so far it has remained un-released... until now, that is. "Summer in the City" is, again, just a first pass onto tape with a guide vocal but, in retrospect, the character of the playing (more than the singing) is sufficiently fun, I felt, to reveal the moment to those interested in QJ material. It is, of course, barely 'produced' thus is an honest-sounding recording of Trevor, John and myself playing 'live' as with TMTTVA."

May/June 1978 movie music THE SHOUT

Electronics by Rupert Hine, theme & incidental music by Anthony Banks and Michael Rutherford (from Genesis). The film premiered 19 May 1978 at Cannes Film Festival, and at regular UK cinemas in June 1978. No soundtrack LP was released.

Rupert Hine 2 Jan 1998: "This was a serious, dark, disturbing tale based on the short story of the same name from Robert Graves. It was made in England, directed by Jzerzy Skolomoski and produced by Jeremy Thomas. My work on that film was as much with manipulating sounds as creating 'score.' " [from Rupert Hine mailing list]

"Introduction to the Menace" was used as intro to live concerts at the time. The "Original Unreleased Mixes" on the CDs were Rupert's original mixes before the record company forced him to make them "less scary".

Stephen Tayler wrote about "Samsara" on RH mailing list: "The rhythm of 'Samsara' was the result of trying to create a percussive feel from a very normal sound, in this case traffic noise ( it becomes reality at the end of the song where the triggering and filtering is removed )."

Performed indoors on Swedish TV. The date was 8 March 1982 according to several sources on the net, which I cross-checked against the fact that Depeche Mode was appearing the same day at the same show. Although he says in the interview "I'm told my new album comes out here [Sweden] tomorrow", which probably means it was delayed.

First released 26 March 1982 (in Sweden).

Stephen Tayler wrote about "Dark Windows" on RH mailing list: "The same technique [as on Samsara] was also used on 'Dark Windows', the sound source being a thunderstorm that actually occured during the making of the song ( we had to stop for the storm, it was in danger of frying some of our equipment!!)."
