Main Index In Rainbows In Rainbows Sessions
On june 15th 2007 Nigel posted a video on DAS, that showed the playback of a reel of assembled tape snippets, which were cut out from certain mixes. The final versions were created using highlights from various mixing attempts, meaning that these chopped out sections were replaced by segments from other mixes of the same recording. Apparently it is a habit of Nigel to keep what ends up on the cutting room floor during the editing process, and some of these bits were compiled so that fans could get a glimpse into the new recordings.
The reel contains 20 fragments from the finished recordings of 6 songs. Below you find these fragments given in the same order as they appear on the reel, with some of them being reversed, as they played backwards.

It looks like Nigel cut up the selected by-products of the editing process even further for this reel (maybe to make it sound more fragmented or to disguise the songs more), as some of these snippets flow seemlessly into each other when put in a different order. These reconstructions therefor yield longer fragments of the recordings than heard in the reel:
