Vault II edition

cEvin Key announced the re-release of "Furnace" as part of the Vault II series for release in 2007:

"Disk one, is remastered Furnace.

Disk two "Redux" is very cool, as most of the tracks are not recognisable as anything we've heard. They are a collection of the live jams that went down in the first jam sessions for Download. So essentially they are live recordings, only they are very hi quality.

Most of the live recordings we have for Download are not as pristine as these because they were recorded multitrack. We were also surprised to have an hour set of stuff, this making other recordings not sound as complete when added." [cite web|url=http://litany.prongs.org/index.php?topic=3643.msg170812#msg170812
