SOTT Vault Tracks Sequencing? So, the Vault tracks are sequenced by date. Anyone want to attempt to sequence them so they sound more like a cohesive album? For example: I think "All My Dreams" should either begin or end this playlist of songs. How would you do it? "New Power slide...." |

This is cohesive. It's sequential, and shows his progression from one song to the next. It's a historical document, not a proper concept album here. Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking. |

Is it sequenced by recording date? Huh I was wondering whether that was possible and lo and behold its already done! | |

i cant even speak on the sequencing yet...because im so fuckin stuck on "7 Minutes MoQuake"... I had to wipe the dust off my tele and amp, and play some chicken grease along with it... horn solo and george benson-esque guitar work about 3 minutes in, got me fucked up from the strong ass funk...i dont need to hear shit else...im GONE | |

First thing I did was to make a playlist with all the songs from the various configs of Dream Factory that didn't make it onto SOTT, preserving the track sequences as much as possible. The ones in bold are from Crystal Ball 98 and Power Fantastic is from The Hits.

Exactly. Which is why I am asking people how they would rearrange it to give it more of an ebb and flow. "New Power slide...." |

I've been working on this for the last 24 hours. I didn't want to mess with the perfection that is SOTT, so wasn't really interested in recreating the original Dream Factory or Crystal Ball sequencing to listen to with all the overlap. I've ended up splitting a good chunk of these SDE vault tracks into 2 separate albums - 1 being my favorite of his solo recordings of the era (sort of like a companion piece to SOTT), also using a lot from the Crystal Ball box. The other being a Revolution backed album that was maybe what "Roadhouse Garden" could have been. I'm loving the flow of both of these so far:
Album 1 Dream Factory La, La, La, He, He, Hee Rebirth of the Flesh Crucial Sexual Suicide Movie Star The Ball Big Tall Wall (Version 2) Feel U Up Make Your Mama Happy Good Love Joy in Repitition Shockadelica Last Heart Train Crystal Ball
Album 2 Visions Our Destiny/Roadhouse Garden Wonderful Day Witness 4 the Prosecution (Version 1) Eggplant Power Fantastic Teacher, Teacher 4 the Tears in Your Eyes A Place in Heaven (Lisa vocals) In a Large Room With No Light Colors All My Dreams [Encore] And That Says What? Soul Psychodelicide
I just put the rest into more of a "rarities" type playlist in this order I thought sounded pretty good together:
Album 3 The Cocoa Boys When the Dawn of the Morning Comes Crucial (Alt lyrics) Big Tall Wall (Version 1) Witness 4 the Prosecution (Version 2) It Be's Like that Sometimes Cosmic Day Adonis & Bathsheba It Ain't Over 'Til the Fat Lady Sings Everybody Want What They Don't Got Blanche Wally Walkin' In Glory [Edited 9/26/20 2:07am] | |

I saw a chart on one of the threads about how the Dream Factory/Crystal Ball/Camille was distilled into SOTT but can't remember which one. |

Big Tall Wall version 2 | |

The important thing is that the tracks flow into one another. That means 2 things. Vibe-wise, sonically they have to sound like they belong in the same collection. Also, how a song starts needs to fit how the last song ends. These vault collections do neither well.
The world's problems like climate change can only be solved through strategic long-term thinking, not expediency. In other words all the govts. need sacking!
If you can add value to someone's life then why not. Especially if it colors their days... | |

Big Tall Wall version 1. Version 2 is from 1987 so couldn't have been on any Dream Factory configuration. As for A Place In Heaven, both versions featured on at least one configuration, so just go with the one you prefer. I use the Prince vocal version. | |
