Hi, this is a long 'un! I think Derek might have stumbled across something with the "Go To Sleep" sample on the WTIL "Virtual Reality Mix". The same sample also appears on the Moody Boys remix (and forms at least a third of that track in an edited version that appears in "Deep Heat 8"). I'd never really thought much about the "e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-go to sleep" bit, but it's highly possible that that's were "e-Train" comes from. I also suspect that the title might be a colossal joke by of Bill and Jim - one that re-appeared on Altern-8 tracks like "Brutal-8-e", the band "Smart E's" and "Ebeneezer Goode" by the Shamen (which actually includes two more "e"s in its title than it should). My final thoughts on E-Train/KLF8T/Go to Sleep are as follows: Originally there was "Last Train to Trancentral" the mother lode, recorded as "Pure Trance 5", and from this recording everything else comes. It PROBABLY featured very little vocals, apart from Maxine as she appears on JAMSLP6 (not singing "Go To Sleep", but singing "Last Train-ain-ain ...") It also featured samples of trains themselves, and the original "trilling" noise sometimes known as "Rolling Stock". It was probably similar in structure to KLF8R's b-side, but contained more of the keyboard riffs and production values of the later "Go To Sleep". A few months later, the trains samples were removed (this is totally hypothetical, by the way, but I'd be VERY surprised if the original "LTTT" didn't sample a train somewhere) and the track (still unreleased) was re-mixed to become more of a "pop song". This is the track from the demos known as "Go To Sleep". This was the KLF's attempt to re-record "LTTT" (original) more in the style of "Kylie Said to Jason" (which, of course, they hoped would be a big commercial hit in mid-1989). The "trilling" noise was over-laid with a horn section, and the "Go To Sleep" choir and singing, and Bill's vocals, were added. Certainly, in my opinion, it is the only track on TWR soundtrack (apart from "Kylie" and "3AM") that seems to scream "potential single!" when you hear it. An extended 12" version was also recorded, but abandoned after the pulling of the soundtrack album. Now, it's late 1989 and the KLF are starting to develop ambient. I would imagine this would have been the perfect time for the (still) unreleased mass of recording they'd done as "LTTT" and "Go To Sleep" to be re-worked as "E-Train to Trancentral". Going by the samples featured on "WTIL (Virtuality Mix)", there is certainly an even more ambient version of the track going around than even features on "Chill Out", still with the "Go To Sleep" vocals intact, bent and distorted to fit with the ambient beats (probably quite similar to "A Huge Ever-Growing Pulsating Brain", which would have been contemporaneous). It's possible that as 1989 drew to a close, "E-Train" was abandoned due to the impending recording of "Chill Out", but its spirit lived on in KLF8R (Remix 1) which definitely DOES feature trains, to quite a silly degree. And is also arguably the most ambient 12" track the KLF have ever done. KLF8R (Remix 2) on the other hand is basically an introduction to "Chill Out". I know it differs from "Witchita Lineman Was a Song I Once Heard" slightly - "and from somewhere, I hear" - but to the untrained ear, it is basically the same track. It seems as if, after nearly a year of buggering about with it, the KLF were finally happy with the mix (which is why by 1991 they were prepared to just tell people it was the Original version, rather than a b-side to the remix twelve inch of the original version). Anyway, what does it matter? It was nearly 15 years ago ;-) John
