I felt I could get away with posting these incredibly rare piano demos, seeing as it's just Jim Steinman and elements of these are already out there in demos of God Has Left The Building and Angels Arise... so I present, from early 2002 (maybe) just 10 minutes worth of Steinman letting loose on the piano, these are truly a wonder to hear and do great things for ones ear... Honestly, what more can I say - it's Steinman playing piano, there are few better things, so enjoy!

It's entirely possible these are actually from ~1997 seeing that during that time Steinman had written 'Cry To Hell' (which later became both 'Angels Arise' and 'Cry To Heaven'), and was working on the music for Tanz, but given the other files discovered alongside these I think it's safe to say these are from mid-2001, or 2001 anyway... The little snippet at the end is actually from the Bat 2100 tape, and is of Marcus Lovett at the end of the re-written version of 'Total Eclipse' known as 'Ceremonial Vows', since it contains the pre-German lyrics for 'God Is Dead'...
