returning jesus demos Now available from the Burning shed download store: no-man - returning jesus demos. A collection of the demos written and recorded for returning jesus, this download album was originally issued as the third disc of Tonefloat's lavish returning jesus - the complete sessions vinyl release in 2005. These alternate, and often very different, versions of returning jesus songs date from between 1994 and 1998 and comprise the creative groundwork of what was to become no-man's most popular and critically acclaimed album. Highlights of this download album include a very different version of like a child (mostly built around sampled childrens voices & soaring flute), a version of lighthouse similar in mood & arrangment to the version given away on the official no-man website a few years ago, but sonically superior, and with a slightly different arrangement (and alternate lyrics towards the end of the song). A slow paced, lower temperature take on chelsea cap scrapes away the pop gloss of the previously released version, and makes me feel that this version would have sat comfortably on the original returning jesus album. The longer (heartbeat paced) version of slow it all down, and all that you are, with different drums, and a Bowness 50's matinee idol croon, round off this haunting collection of demos that sound nothing like demos! Full tracklisting: song about the heart (2.47) / darkroom - alternate version (5.35) / like a child (4.08) / chelsea cap - alternate version (6.50) / lighthouse - demo (9.04) / slow it all down - long version (5.13) / all that you are - demo (4.37) Priced at £5.10 GBP (mp3) and £7.00 GBP (flac) - the download album can be purchased here.
