The Future Sound of London - Sendero Luminoso (05:53)
Available on:
From The Archives Vol. 5

Lyrics:
None

Notes:
Spanish for
Shining Path, that was also the working title for this - one of two mixes of the track - in 1997. Says Gaz in 2001: "Prior to coming out to LA, Brian and I and Ian [Astbury, The Cult] had penned a vaguely Tomorrow Never Knows (a track which repeatedly freaked us out during this period) kind of track called The Shining Path. It had turned out a little bit too serious though - somehow there was too much darkness in the lyric...". One of fourteen known tracks from these 1997 sessions, Sendero Luminoso is a dark track with breaks and bass also heard on Head Hunter, sitars, backwards guitars and some Papua New Guinea samples. Though it and the other version of The Shining Path never featured the lyrics Gaz spoke of, the track and those sessions mark the initial work on the Amorphous project that became The Isness. After many years of fan speculation, the popular track finally came out in 2008 on From The Archives Volume 5.
