Track 4 from the US Promo-only Cave EP that was sent to press and radio in the US and Canada in 1999/early 2000. Coma is listed on the track listing as a "previously unreleased B-side" at this point in time.

#Muse band #so I decided to do this the old fashioned way and 'record' through the radio mixing desk #I don't have a CD slot so a simple drag and drop wouldn't work unfortunately #so I played it from the radio station CD player stacks into the control room mixing board #and just recorded the audio off of that treating at as I would a normal pre-record #but the source's volume fader was too high when Coma kicked in first and so I hurriedly had to fade it down — that recording wasn't great #so in the end I just did it again. When you're recording that way you can't just click play and have it done instantaneously:#it's a record not a plain data transfer... so you play the whole thing and hope there are no disturbances when you're doing so #and if your CD skips? So help you; it's back to the beginning (which happened on Muscle Museum)#muse #but we got it so it's all good!#(Actually the last recording is fucking troubling me; tumblr just doesn't like it. Always errors out the upload. I'm in tears.)#Cave EP #radio promotion #Muse B-sides #Muse Coma #old stuff!#radio #CDs #records #god I love radio
