Song information

Many of the tracks on this album have appeared in a different form on other MDB releases. "Sear Me" was the first in a trilogy of songs to bear the title, followed by the keyboard and violin-only "Sear Me MCMXCIII" in 1993 and "Sear Me III" in 1999, which is more similar in style to the original, being a full band composition. "The Bitterness And The Bereavement" evolved from an earlier demo, which was released independently as "Unreleased Bitterness" in 1993. This version of the song also appears on the digipak re-release of "As The Flower Withers", and on the rarities/best-of compilation "Meisterwerk 1". "Vast Choirs" is a reworked version of the version that appears on the band's first recording, "Towards the Sinister". This version is widely available on both "Meisterwerk 2" and the 2004 reissue of "Trinity". "The Return Of The Beautiful" was re-recorded for 2001's "The Dreadful Hours". Live versions of "The Forever People" can be found on the limited edition versions of "The Angel and the Dark River" and "For Darkest Eyes". This song is often played as the last song of the set in many of the band's live shows.
