My copy of the Opal Mantra EP arrived on Friday:D,before i just had this song on Hats Off To The Insane.Does anyone else think T? should have included this song on So Much For The Ten Year Plan?

My T? collection is slowy starting to expand and i have most of the singles/EP’s now.It would great if they released some EP’s or another mini album but at least we have the free downloads from the audio section.

I wonder why T? never included Opal Mantra on Toublegum or So Much For The Ten Year Plan?

Me too, as it has one of the best bass lines they’ve ever recorded.

It also has one of the best lines in any T? song…

You mix something up here. The song you’re referring to is called ‘totally random man’ ;)

There’s loads of stuff that should’ve been re-released, Opel Mantra and Totally Random Man being two of them.

Opal Mantra was a glaring omission from So Much For The Ten Year Plan, damn right!

If I remember right, OM came after the big hit with Shortsharpshock EP, and I can’t understand why this has become the ‘lost’ Therapy? single. Very Twilight Zone how it just disappeared from history like that…

If T? ever release a boxset they really need to include this song on it.

Hate to state the glaringly obvious but surely it’s because Opal Mantra is the only T? single never to make it onto an album?

I have a theory why Opal Matra isn’t on So Much… It is so simple “pop” song what kind of tunes Andy says he can write in minutes but he doesn’t want to because of “that”.
A little trivia for you all about that song; it is the ONLY T? tune that I can play on guitar! And I can’t play guitar at all… :p

If there will ever be a boxset, it would be nice if it had some really rare stuff… stuff that no-one has yet… like an unreleased demo or unreleased track… so the collectors will have something new as well :cool:

I suppose Opal Mantra is really that rare it’s on Born In A Crash and Hats Off To The Insane but i think a lot of newer T? fans probably aren’t aware of this song.

and those are not that hard to find, especially not Hats Off To The Insane… and MTV even showed the videoclip for it… but whatever, you’re right, this song is very welcome on the boxset :p

I just noticed my last post in this topic i mean’t to type Opal Mantra really isn’t rare But you knew what i mean’t anyway.Yeah Hats Off To The Insane is really easy to find i think Born In A Crash is a bit more rare.It doesn’t pop up on Ebay as much.

Ok, I must have missed that (I’m not a frequent chit chat reader)… but I remember that you’ve got a 7-track Gimme Back My Brain promo, which I’m very jealous at :(

You have nothing to be jealous of soul doubt the promo is so badly scratched it doesn’t play right.I did consider sending it back and getting a refund but it was only £3.48 and i couldn’t bothered with the hassle.

:( That’s a pity indeed, but you’ve got that nice SG-cover, better with a scratched cd then none… But anyway, I hope you’ll find a very cheap one in good condition one day!
