Premonition 1

One main version:

* (1982) - Premonition (7:30), Under Triple Moons (6:57)

The song crossfades in from "Odd," though on "Under Triple Moons," it fades in after the crossfade has finished (since "Odd" isn't on "Under Triple Moons").

AKA "Premonition."

A montage of snippets from previous Dots songs, in different mixes with additional effects applied: "Donna's Blitzed Again," the Full Band Version of "City Ghosts," a previously-unheard instrumental synth/drum machine track with slightly slavic sound, and backwards vocals from "Apocalypse Then." On "Under Triple Moons" the song fades out early, cutting off about 30 seconds of the "Apocalypse Then" vocals.

Additional Instruments: Synths swooping up and down, often slowed down and sped up with tape manipulation.

Why You Should Care:

The first of a long line of "Premonition" songs, which tend to be extended mishmashes of various ideas, often using older sources. I assume that these experimental songs are called "Premonitions" entirely because of the title of this tape.
