Kenny Larkin: Metaphor: Bleep's F'd Up Version...

[hayhook]

I've Been Digging into Kenny Larkin's old Discography, and re-listening to the Expanded Deluxe Metaphor Download I got from Bleep I found:

https://bleep.com/release/223481-kenny-larkin-metaphor-expanded-edition

A: that the track they have in the DL for "Loop 1.5" is the same as "Loop 2," three tracks later, it should be: https://aboveboardprojects.bandcamp.com/track/loop-15 (The Bleep Webplayer plays the correct track, but their DL file is an *8 second shorter "Loop 2")

B: the track they have listed as "Catatonic (Part 2) - 8:52" most definitely is not either "Catatonic (Part 2) - 5:28" that was exclusive to the Original '95 R&S Vinyl Pressing of the Album,

nor is it "Catatonic (Second State) - 5:55" as found on the Single and the Above Boards Expanded Release :

https://aboveboardprojects.bandcamp.com/album/metaphor-expanded-edition

 

My Question to any Kenny Larkin Superfans: 

What is the actual track Bleep is selling in their digital download as "Catatonic (Part 2)"?

Has anyone heard it before? (The Bleep Webplayer plays "Catatonic (Second State)" It's only their DL that is some mislabeled "mystery track")

Okay, I've figured out the answer my own question...

It looks like the track that Bleep has for download labeled "Catatonic (Part 2)" is actually

a version of "Butterflies."

the only difference I can hear between them, is that Kick drum is "less blunt"/has "no splat"? (not sure the official term for that...) on the mislabled "Catatonic (Part 2)" vs "Butterflies"

are these different "versions/mixes" of butterflies? or just different masterings?

The Left (8:52) is the Version of Butterflies that was mis-labeled as "Catatonic (Part 2)" (with the Thuddy kick drums)

The Right (9:01) is the Album version of Butterflies (With the Thwacky kicks drums)

Update. Bleep has now corrected the files in their DL to the correct tracks, since I emailed them about it. (It's been borked since 2021, when the expanded release came out, til yesterday).

Not many buyers on bleep, i guess. I bought the Bandcamp version. As I mostly prefer buying digitals from bandcamp. Kenny is hugely underrated, imo. Love his work. Especially his earlier stuff. (corbomite maneuver as dark comedy)
