Under Construction
What Remains Unreleased
While I can’t figure out when Under Construction was “released,” some
of the artwork informs us that most of this material ended up being traded
around in 1999. Then in 2012, they re-released The Wall in an “Immersion” box
set, containing 2 discs full of demos. You’d think that’s enough space to fit
all of the material in this demo in, and you’d be right. However, there still
remains some treasures unreleased found on this album. I went in and found what
is and what is not released, or was edited up.

If you ever want to listen to the Under Construction album, I could possibly, maybe give it under request. No links will be on this website for that stuff, because the copyright police do not like that.
