I received mine this morning so starting this thread for post-release discussion. The 'pre-release' thread will be closed in due course.

FBI is different and sounds better.

The "Business" outtakes are absolutely gorgeous. It seems he had an idea of having that recurring theme throughout the album with increasing levels of optimism, but it was abandoned. All that remained was the melancholy finish after the title track that explores the theme of realizing such things exist only in another world. That last track hits home in a completely different way now that we know what he was going after.
It's criminal that this wonderful music isn't more widely known. Hopefully this re-release will change that.

It's always been one of my favourite albums. It's a work of art!

My Boy is an absolutely beautiful song

My Boy is an absolutely beautiful song It sure is.
But is it really from the Another World period ? I always thought it was from the early '80s (especially judging by the keyboard sounds), written for his son when he was a boy ?

It was released in December 1998 on a compilation called Lullabies With A Difference so that would be the link to this album. I guess we will never know for sure if this one was really recorded or originated from the early 80's. Unless we will get a nice super deluxe Hot Space release one day

Wilderness also sounds better. Is it me or do you agree?

briefly listened to some of disc 2. FBI has indeed been improved with real drums. I had the Red Special EP from day 1, so most of disc 2 is familiar to me. The various Business themes are quite interesting. And; The Paris 98 gig should have been complete

I'm glad they released Cyborg instrumental version with uncut ending. FBI with real bass/drums is great and differently mixed. Business outtakes are very insteresting. On My Way Up guitar version is cool.

I dont think that the On My Way Up guitar version has ever been released before? It is unreal to say this, but there are six tracks on disc 2 which I have never heard before until now: F.B.I. (Original Ruff Mix With Real Bass And Drums) Cyborg (Solo Instrumental Version) Business Stings I'll Be Prayin' On My Way Up (Guitar Version) The Last Great Optimist So yes, I am fairly happy & content

Listening to these unreleased tracks makes me happy and sad at once knowing that this was his second and up to now last album. So i guess we'll never see unreleased material from him. I guess if there will be another GOLD release it could be Live At The Brixton Academy. He should've released unreleased material for the first BTTL re-issue. But these couple of new things sounds nice.

If I'm right Brixton will indeed be released. Hopefully not only audio, but also a DVD/Bluray release. And hopefully an uncut version, now with digital releases there's no time limit of 80mins, so there's no need to cut several songs for that... (but I'm afraid that Dream Is Over will still be cut completely, and that the other songs will still be shortened in places as well) Also Star Fleet Project and Furia were talked about to be released in the GOLD series. Now if only there would come an additional release with an Another World Tour concert audio/video, and an extra release with the several songs Brian made for soundtracks and tribute albums etc (What Are We Made Of, Il Colosso, Spider-Man, (Marie's The Name) His Latest Flame, I Don't Want Nobody (Teasing Around With Me), New Horizons, Olympic Theme, that kind of stuff), that would be nice.

FBI is different and sounds better. Indeed. But for the ones who are sad that the 'original version' is not available digitally now... It actually is, as part of the 'Twang!' album: Other alternate versions that could have been on disc 2 of 'Another World', but aren't there are: - Why Don't We Try Again (Promo Edit) - Business (US Promo Edit) - One Rainy Wish (In From The Storm Version) - Cyborg (Video Game Mixes)

According to Brian in interviews, there are a few alternative takes with Edward Van Halen from Starfleet Project that are quite different. So maybe they will be in the bonus disc for the Gold release?

Would be nice if we also got the Furia soundtrack.

even here today the double CD has finally been released. the curiosity is that in recent days I tried to pre-order it in the various shops of my city (which is not so small as it has 900,000 inhabitants) but I only found one shop of a publishing chain (Feltrinelli) that had only one throughout the territory a copy; that I know of today no other shop in the city has received the double CD. All this seemed strange to me since Brian is quite well known in Italy.

I think that during the Starfleet sessions there are many more jams than we know, and those would be "delicacies" 😜

Hopefully this re-release will change that. I still think these are the snippets used in the TV series that Business was originally delivered for (Frank Stubbs Promotes). 1 minute intro music, 5 / 10 second snippets in and out of ad breaks, 90 seconds of end credits. But I've only listened to the amazon preview at this stage.

Feltrinelli in my town has only got Queen Greatest Hits Platinum Collection, i should have bought that ADATR CD when i had the chance!
