Today I discovered by coincidence that my copy of The Muse Awakens (which is an official InsideOut-promo) has a different track-order than the normal version. This is the order from the album you all probably have:

01.Contemporary Insanity (3:24)
02.The Muse Awakes (5:36)
03.Stepping Through Time (6:31)
04.Maui Sunset (5:10)
05.Lunch At The Psychedelicatessen (4:59)
06.Slipstream (4:43)
07.Barking Spiders (4:11)
08.Adrift (4:04)
09.Shadowlites (3:52)
10.Kindred Spirits (5:26)
11.Il Quinto Mare (7:22)

My CD has track 4 and 10 the other way around, so on 4 is Kindred Spirits and on track 10 is Maui Sunset. I thought this order was great, because the sea-sounds at the beginning of Maui Sunset seem to give this track a link to the following Il Quinto Mare, which also has the sea-sounds. I also think that placing Maui Sunset after Stepping Through Time is a bit strange; both tracks have a kind of epic feel and both have in fact the only two real guitar-solo's.

By the way, I don't see any difference between the American and the German version.

Very interesting input...and it´s very strange that those tunes has different track orders. I wonder how that can happen in the first place. And like you said -it seems to be an even better track order that the "right" one. Only two real guitar solos on the Muse! In fact I do have noticed that there is´nt that much guitar solos on the Muse.

I wonder why because Stan is a really great guitarplayer and I really like the way he handles the Wah-wah pedal.

You know, it's funny that no one saw it before (or didn't pay attention). In an earlier thread someone asked what the credits for all the tracks were. At that moment the album wasn't released yet, but I could use my promo to answer the question. In that post I mentioned the "wrong" order....:

PS May 26 2014: I've updated the link.

Todd may still be god, but HTM have risen again !

My UK copy (made in Germany?) has the same order as the USA version. I like the order as it is, but i'll give it a try as per the promo version.

The Muse Awakens is the Featured CD on Progressive Ears. I wonder if someone will bring up the issue mentioned in this thread, which is in my view quite interesting.

Discogs also shows the promotional copy, so with the different track order.
