Thanks for the info ChiliD, I just listened to the original. The end btw reminds me of the ending of another Lindsey or FM song. He seems to have gotten some inspiration by that one. Unfortunately I can't name it by now. Tusk era perhaps I have to listen to some tracks to tell... Concerning the song Teen beat. The Lindsey version with a lot of muttering and groaning but no real vocals still is a song fragment to me. Aborted work in progress. Just like "Wear you down" which has the potential of getting a great song if he puts some work in it to finish. He either should have left "Teen beat" as an instrumental track or he should have added some real lyrics to it. I sometimes think there were good reasons when artists left certain songs out of their albums and songs like "Goodbye angel", "Make me a mask" (at least these are finished songs) and especially "Teen beat" fall under that categorie for me.
