Includes studio outtakes from the Closer sessions, the Licht und Blindheit single ("Atmosphere" / "Dead Souls"), and the haunting Komakino flexi-disc. The evolution in Curtis’s voice and Sumner’s guitar textures is staggering. Essential: "Atmosphere" (full version), "The Eternal" (alternate take), and the instrumental "Incubation."
