Label info: Sharman Arts CSY 9011/2, 1999 Date: January 1, 1996 Type: CD
Release info:: Slowfire concert of Kannai Hall, Yokohama (oct 11 1995).
The very first pressed (silver) CD's of the Slow Fire tour. Beautiful!!

This is a 2 CD-set with excellent artwork taken from the tour programme and flyers.
The sound quality is good. It's definitely an audience recording, with a very bright sound (remastered?) Unfortunately, occasionally the sound is clipped.

The CD-set contains the full Slowfire concert of Kannai Hall, Yokohama (oct 11 1995). The last two tracks of the 1995 recording is on the second CD, followed by a First Day concert, starting with a mix of an excerpt from the spoken words of Robert Fripp from the Redemption exhibition with Soundscape.

Overall good quality but it seems to be rather expensive and limited.

0	11	Ingrid's Wheels (live 1992) Sunlight on glass Caught me blind And the wages of love Blew in at my side I held its wings And swallowed it whole Now it shines in my shadow White lines my road I take the vow And I swallow the pill I laid my life on the line Under Ingrid's wheels The road is long And I know just how it feels I laid my life on the line Under Ingrid's wheels The heat is cold And mind is hot The body is aching But reaching for the stars The angels breathe In snow and ice And they nail in my grip Some semblance of life I've burned the rope And I've hammered the steel I laid my life on the line Under Ingrid's wheels The road is long And I know just how it feels I laid my life on the line Under Ingrid's wheels I burned her name In God's valleys and fields I laid my life on the line Under Ingrid's wheels	Ingrid's Wheels (live 1992)	Ingrid's Wheels (live 1992) Performed live during the First Day (1992) and Slowfire (1995) tour. Never released on an official album.
1	8	I Do Nothing (live) I recognized the way she moved Her hands on the water The fire burning in the heart A ferryman's daughter Hallelujah, is that what she’s saying? Hallelujah, the gods are playing He didn’t feel the lightning strike How long was he waiting? An echo rising deep from the heart The sound of it's breaking Not even one more night Spent here without her Not even one more night So down the river The morning raised a million suns How long was he sleeping? All his stories shattered at once Beginnings and endings Not even one more night Spent here without her Not even one more night So down the river I do nothing And nothing is left undone I can do nothing And nothing is left undone Remove the blindfold and you'll see The danger's gone The flower's growing from the stone Like they told you that it would That it would Not even one more night Spent without her Hallelujah, is that what she’s saying? Hallelujah, the gods are playing I do nothing And nothing is left undone Nothing...	I Do Nothing (live)	I Do Nothing (live) Slowfire tour only.
1	9	It'll never happen again (live) I remember our first affair All the pain Always rain, around my eyes It'll never happen again It'll never happen again Every time I left you alone I remember times I couldn't come home It'll never happen again It'll never happen again Why can't you be The way I want you to be Why can't you see You've got to change to love me I remember our first affair All the pain Always rain, around my eyes	It'll never happen again (live)	It'll never happen again (live) Only performed at 1995 and 2007 tour.

The people of the production of this set must really be into David's work, as this is the first time I actually see "Under Ingrid's Wheels" mentioned instead of Unknown or Ingrid's Wings.
