Studio demo take of ``The Black Rider'' released in 1993.

This album, comprised of songs Tom wrote for the eponymous avant-garde stage production, is positioned as a connoisseur's choice, exuding a rich avant-garde atmosphere. However, listening to this demo take, supposedly recorded in the early 90s, reveals a timeless charm that hasn't faded at all; in fact, it possesses a captivating allure reminiscent of aging bourbon, drawing you in with each listen.

Bonus tracks include an audience recording of the November 21, 1993 performance. *Noise originating from the master recording occurs in the left channel between tracks 10 and 14.
