Track #2 of Ion is just a little bit extended version of "Andromeda".
Due to the high eBay prices of these two free CDs (Andromeda + Ion), KDM gave a way some original paper covers to do copies and send them to KS fans that were unable to get these CDs at the Frankfurt Music Fair then.
The idea of these CDs was to show of the possibilities of the Alesis Andromeda A6 and the Ion. But these 2 CDs do not real show what these synth are able to. Too much non Alesis sound on both. And not so many different sound at all. May be doing promo CDs for a synth is nothing KS is able to do. He "just" does his music. And this is what I like way more.
BTW: the rerelease version is only 10 secs shorter. But I have not checked, if there is a blank tail or a longer fade-out causing this. So musically, both versions are more or less the same.
