Notes:
An epic, soaring, eastern-tinged track near the end of Dead
Cities, the piece has a more dream-like feel than the rest of the
album. A slow breakbeat and unknown Greek stringed instrument
lead the track forward. The version of Yage on the ISDN Show is
the main cause of the problem with that album's tracklist, as the
piece is split into two tracks, whilst the tracklist does not
account for this. The track time above shows both tracks. The
ISDN Show version is the same as the Peel Session version from
1995, with its fast breakbeat and 60s spy film-like guitar being
absent from the Dead Cities mix (the flute, in fact, is the only
thing that really ties the two version together). This 'live'
version reappeared in 2007 as part of FSOLDigital.com's From The
Archives series, under the name Hallucinations, and on Electric
Brain Storms 0.5 as Ayahuasca..
It is likely Yage was lined up as the third single from Dead Cities, as many alternative versions
and mixes appeared afterwards.
