bonus tracks, (rare recordings) Options

[zYkL0n]

Any of you fellow Metal Area users into collecting bonus tracks? Then this thread may be the place for you.

Don't expect me to able to fulfil every of your request but Metal Area has thousands of registered users so I'm sure others are willing to help too.
We could use this thread for exchange and finding all kind of rare recordings, simply stuff hard to come by.

[licas33]

here you go!

this is the right link

[zYkL0n]

Thanks. May I ask for the source of your uploads and why it's wav files?

I'm at work and only have Audacity here but the spectrum for Burning Point and Serenity looks quite low for a true CD-rip.
Is this your personal rips? Do you own the Japanese CDs of Burning Point and Serenity? Or did you take lower bitrate mp3s, let's say 192kbps, and converted them into wav files?
And there is no point in having Pagan's Mind in wav format when it's only a web/radio rip (10000Hz), is it? :D

[licas33]

NO, they all are cd-rips (I have the japanese versions of those albums) except Pagan's Mind that it is from the cd single "Intermission". The Iron Fire song is from my demo (yes, I got it - signed bt the band btw).

I have converted them in wav files (except the Iron Fire song)

I'm a collector and have several hundreds of rare/japanese/demo/ cd's, but still missing all of stuff....

Right now I'm desperately looking for this one: Axxis - Circus Of Love (it was supposed to be on "Time Machine" album, but never appear on that), however it exists, I guess on some online websites.

If you are looking for something particular, tell me. I have demos from several bands:

just to name a few; Angra, Celesty, Dreamtale, Firewind, Power Quest, Stratovarius, Rage, and many more.....

Thanks

[zYkL0n]

ah ok, cool. thanks for clearing this up!
Spectrum for Pagan's Mind looks more than poor nontheless. If I were the band (or the person to buy a copy) I'd kill the label for providing this :D

I'm not a big fan of Demos (thanks for the offer though), maybe that's why I was hoping for Iron Fire - This Kid's taken from the official UFO Tribute "Spaced Out".
Do you know if there is a difference between the demo take and the one released on the Tribute?

*EDIT*
I did a little research and found this info straight from the Axxis forum:

"Circus Of Love" was supposed to be the Japanese edition bonus track to Time Machine but was dropped in the end. Japanese edition of Time Machine contains only "River Of Love". "Circus Of Love" was used for the next album Paradise In Flames as a Japanese edition bonus track. The song is not listed on the back cover, so don't get fooled. It's written on the CD itself and the track is really present on disc.

Hope it helps your search. Will take a look for that Axxis track when I get home.

[licas33]

No, I guess it's the same version! However I never heard the song on the UFO's tribute.
But as far as I know they are actually the same version/song. The quality however may change a bit, since mine is actually from the Iron Fire demo, not from that tribute....

Axxis song? Do have heard about it? Can you get it?

Thanks

[licas33]

Ok thanks!
Hope you find it and could send it together with those Hammerfall instrumental songs!

All the best!

[zYkL0n]

I'm only just home so here is Hammerfall, will check for Axxis next:

You also quoted "Burning Point - Bad Blood" and "Serenity - Dark Desire In Red".
Does that mean you have them as well or was that a mistake?

I'd like to talk about Pagan's Mind and their Intermission Single again.
Do you own the physical or digital release, because it was mainly digital with only very few physical copies available.
I highly doubt that "Crazy Nights" is a proper CD rip. There is like 8 - 9 seconds of total silence at the end of the track and it also sounds like your typical webrip. Taking this and the spectral analysis into account, I assume this is a radio rip or some other kind of internet stream.

Also, you say you own a copy of the Iron Fire 2003 demo but the rip is @ 256kbps only, not wav like the rest. And on the Metal Archives you state that the 12-track tracklisting is wrong and the demo only has 6 tracks and no UFO cover.

I'm honestly confused.

[licas33]

Ok thank you!
Regarding the Bad Blood Burning Point song I have it and tried to rip it directly from my cd, but to be honest it says error everytime I do the rip (don't know why)

Sorry, about dark Desire In Red. I thought I have it (it is a hidden track from that cd) but my cd doesn't have it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/13.gif)

Pagan's Mind - Intermission I've already had it (signed by the way) but I sold it some time ago. I had here all three songs, but the only song that didn't appear on the album is actually Crazy Nights, so is the only song I've got right now (and I remember now, I upload it from the web, so isn't really a cd-rip), sorry about that

This Kid's of Iron Fire is actually a cd-rip from my demo (signed by the band), but this song actually is one of the demos recorded by Iron Fire during 2003, not included in "Demo 2003" or "The Underworld" demos (I have both signed by the band). I have here some more demo songs from that era and This Kid's is one of them

Hope this helps

but it tells

[zYkL0n]

Ah got it.

So "This Kid's" is a demo recording that was not included on the official 2003 release. You have a CD(-R) or mp3 from a different (unofficial/unreleased) demo of the same year.
Since "Spaced Out: A UFO Tribute" came out in 2003 too it must be the same take (is Hank Sherman really on this?). Don't think they bothered to record the same song twice.

Alright, guess I have to pick up "Pagan's Mind - Crazy Nights" digitally then.

You could try and use different software for "Burning Point - Bad Blood". Windows Media Player maybe or Winamp - EAC if nothing helps. I'm totally happy about a proper 320kbps rip. It doesn't have to be wav or lossless.

[licas33]

[hide][/hide]Burning Point - Bad Blood - http://www.mediafire.com/?iv28nd1u2zzd1s9

Rip from my cd

[zYkL0n]

good job!
Is it possible you change the settings within your Windows Media Player?
In Options, Copy you can switch between wma/mp3 and right below you can change between different qualities.
320kbps mp3 if possible please - only if it isn't too much to ask :D

*EDIT*
awesome. thanks a lot!

[licas33]

Ok, here it is in wav format: http://www.mediafire.com/?0w0u66br8c9nday

Hope this time is good for you ;-)

Can you tell me anything yet about the Axxis song?

You are from Germany maybe you can help me find Rage demos:

The Missing Link (demo cd)
End Of All Days (demo cd)
Ghosts (demo cd)
I have some demo tracks of the Missing Link demo, but I would love to get them all

and

Freedom Call (demo cd) - I just need the artwork. I have the songs

and a physical copy of Zauber Der Nacht (can you get it for me?)



I'm looking for these bands demos also:

Timeless Miracle
Moonlight Agony
Cardiant

Thank you!

[zYkL0n]

I'll do my very best!

[licas33]

Remember these ones:

Wuthering Heights - Sympathy (Uriah Heep cover) - from "Salt" Japanese version
Wuthering Heights - Discovery (Mike Oldfield cover)- from "Salt" European version

Do you have them or can get them for me?

[zYkL0n]

I'm not really diggin Wuthering Heights - a little too soft for my taste - so I don't have them but Angren does maybe :]

*EDIT*
Found "Wuthering Heights - Sympathy [Uriah Heep Cover]" in 320kbps.
This is the US edition bonus track for Sensory Records (same as the Japanese edition on Avalon).

Discovery is unreleased. Confirmed by Erik Ravn, band leader.

It is recorded from streaming radio so the quality is not good

Does anybody have Axxis - River of Love? It surely is on japanese edition of Time Machine

Wrote e-mail to Bernhard WeiЯ about Circus of Love. Hope he will answer

Btw, zYkL0n, your Sympathy in "320" isn't much better than my. Still more like 192

I downloaded this one yesterday, but now I can't find it on my computer (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile2.gif) The link is dead, and most of the other links from mediafire that appeared on this page too. Could you reupload it, please? (320kbps version) (also, I suggest depositfiles)

[zYkL0n]

Btw, zYkL0n, your Sympathy in "320" isn't much better than my. Still more like 192

It is a true 320kbps CD rip I can assure you that (coming from a source I trust). Track length is stamped in id3tag which is only done when using Windows Media Player. And there lies the problem: WMP uses the FhG codec instead of lame that's why it may seem so low in a spectral analysis :/

I downloaded this one yesterday, but now I can't find it on my computer (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile2.gif)

Link fixed.

[licas33]

Axxis - River of Love was supposed to be on the japanese edition of Time Machine, but it wasn't released.

Acording to zYkL0n it was released in the album after (Paradise In Flames) japanese version, so if anyone have it.....

I want it too!
