Shiva is weeeeeird. I don't exactly hate it and it's nice to hear a) a real voice b) Mike's voice, but it's a real quick stopgap rare track.

It's be quite a nice little song if he just removed the original voices. Anyone know what the status was on the original multitrack tapes for this release? Were there any or is it just a tidy up of a stereo bouncedown?

What is the purpose of that track, "Shiva", really? It's just "Sheba" with Mike doing another voice over it? Strange...

I can't see any point in an edited "Wonderful land", as the album version is not too long for a single in itself!

One would like to think that it's a thing Mike has wanted to do to the track for years and has never found a place to put it but, cynical though it is, I *feel* the more likely scenario is that there was some explanation to deliver a "rare" track so he created one solely for the purpose of being rare rather than sticking on one of the heavily requested rare songs (which he may no longer have access to).

Sounds to me like it's something he is making up as he goes along, sometimes not bothering to finish the words. The voice-over sounds exactly like a "voice-over". Very odd !

I agree, loved the detail of the remastered album but Shiva really IS odd
