Okay so we know that Ocean Machines and the elusive Greetings Again were recorded during the Biomech sessions. I would speculate that Man and Promise were intended to be Ocean Machine songs. My question is this... aside from Greetings Again are there any Ocean Machine songs we haven't heard, whether recorded or demoed?

Dreadfully sorry, I'm almost four years late. How terrible of me.
I tend to think that "Greetings Again" is to "Greetings" what "Morwar" is to "War". I have no idea about anything else.

what the hell is greetings again?

I don't actually know. I was making an assumption.

B: I remember you had a song called "OCEAN MACHINE" in the demo tape.

D: Yeah, I did. But I didn't put it into the album, so I'm going to put it on an EP. I have already finished recording and mixing it. I used the strings sounds played by several people in it. The song is incredible but a bit long. Besides, it didn't f it in with the rest of the album. So I decided to keep it for EP. I also keep the other half of "GREETINGS." It's entitled "GREETINGS AGAIN." (laughs) It should be put into the next OCEAN MACHINE album.

Apparently, this indeed is one song from the Ocean Machine sessions, that never surfaced. I guess it's possible though that it was re-written, re-recorded and used somewhere on Infinity, for example.
