Visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZAUM and notice the spelling on the demo cassette. Ancient languages lacked the letter "U" and instead used "V".

Everything is available for download somewhere.

I may have a copy of the ZAVM demos somewhere. I'll look for them when I get home.

No; though Danny was playing drums for the other band, the two "Merkabas" are not the same song; merely named for the same thing.

Heh. Caught you.

Chris_Brightwell meh. Join Date: Oct 2002 Location: Huntsville, AL Posts: 5,616 Bincount™: 1074	Re: Merkaba I found the demo. I haven't listened to it in forever, so Merkaba sounds a bit different than I remember. I was incorrect in that it's not a cover, per se, but I think it heavily influenced the Merkaba we all know and love. :) I'll upload them sometime today. __________________ Assistant Administrator http://www.dimwell.net
