As If...

One main version:

* (1982) - Premonition (2:04), Under Triple Moons (1:50)

A montage introduction to the cassette, featuring snippets from other Dots songs in quick succession.

On both releases the song starts with a section from "Hiding" played backwards, but on "Under Triple Moons" the first ten seconds are cut off and slowly faded in, seemingly to remove the backwards vocals by Sally Graves. Also included are bits of the Clicky Version of "Thursday Night Fever," the Funky Version of "Amphitheatre," and "Onward."

The song crossfades into "Splash."

Additional Instruments: Guitar feedback; glitchy sped-up vocals;

Why You Should Care:

This is another step forward for the Dots. Their previous song montages were clumsy strings of song snippets, but this time the snippets are overlaid in an interesting, pleasing, and lush way.
