1. ,14 - 'Clouds/Orchestrina'

- Length: 5:07

- Almost completed track (TMV)

- Offcut from/intended for Noctourniquet

- Recorded in Nocto sessions, between 2009-12

Personnel: Cedric, Omar, Juan, Deantoni

- Was performed instrumentally live on the ORLG (Secret Volta) tour in 2011 at The Southgate House, when Cedric was sick. Was recognised as a potential Nocto track at the time, and was also referred to as the 'Lurking About jam' due to a supposed similarity to the Lurking About In A Cold Sweat bassline.

Lyrics:

Valerian mother

How do I pardon the mistakes, when you do it again, and do it again and again?

There is bliss in my muzzle

But this time I'm coming for you

When I sift through the air

In your mask made of infinite bane

There is bliss from the smelter that stained

Was it last night I held your hand?

Orchestrina that cuts my wrists

In the clouds, in the clouds I ride

Lacing the sulfur in rain

Valerian father

Rhododendron, you cloak me in the haunt of the beast I must slay

Casting the circle and under the nights you shame

There is blood from the smelter that stains

Was it last night I held your hand?

Orchestrina that cuts my wrists

In the clouds, in the clouds I ride

Lacing the sulfur in rain

Hold me under

Pray for rain

Hold me under

Pray for rain

And do it again, again and again and again

Do it again and again and again and again

Do it again and again and again and again

Do it again and again and again and again

Was it last night I held your hand?

Orchestrina that cuts my wrists

In the clouds, in the clouds I ride

Lacing the sulfur in rain

why do i see an epic rollerdisco gunbattle when the chorus kicks in...maybe zombies somwhere in the mix.. basically it means this was the best song on noctourniquet, we all know it.

The combination of the eerie lyrics & vocal delivery in the verses and that atmospheric, arpeggiated synth / guitar riff that kicks in at 50 seconds... is so awesome. Deantoni's drumwork is tight as hell, too. It just sounds like a ghostly beast lurking about. Pins and needles, man. Why was this song scrapped from Noctourniquet?

I still can't believe this was considered "unfinished" I mean it's a perfect jewel.

How could this song not make it into the album? I mean what the hell, it's amazing! Even a lot more solid than most of noctourniquet's songs IMO. Anyways, thanks for posting this!

Nah, they aren't that dickheadish. Cedric said he took his sweet ass time in Noctourniquet because he wanted to deliver the best songs possible, and they had like 12 tracks and took 4 out because they weren't good enough to get into the album. I think the weakest point of Noctourniquet is the mixing/recording. That's why they sound so much better live, the songs are good but they just sound weak and compressed.. this "unmastered" track sounds better..

Saw a great hypothesis as to why this didn't make it into the album. They knew this song was too good, and that if they released this and used it as a single, it would likely get them popular again, but the whole time they just wanted to make their last album and break up, so they decided not to.
