Hobojoe44 Awesome track, loved the instrumental version ever since first hearing it on The Anthology album.

about

Another forgotten moment found on a DAT during some recent archiving, this is the vocal version of a song we wrestled with for ages and couldn't get "right". The instrumental made it onto the Anthology but this Pop edit maybe captures the essence of the thing better. Despite the title, it was recorded for Return To Central but slipped off the radar. We ever tried to revive it for early Data Panik shows but had forgotten that there was ever singing on it. Anyway, we gift to you this little slice of Pop music that sounds like Brian Eno walking around Tokyo with his headphones in one ear and the sound of the street in the other.
The lyrics are fairly timely too - "Though all is non from now on, we'll always have telecom to bring us together. We never need to leave home".

lyrics

Though all is non from now on,
we'll always have telecom to bring us together.
We never need to leave home.
