For the Brotherhood version of EBW5, the player timing shows 8:40 (same as single version of It Began In Afrika).

I have a vinyl rip (mp3) of this EBW which ends around 9:54.

Could any chems expert, who have the original vinyl release, tell me the actual lenght of the track?

I always thought the EBW version was longer than the single version...

the official time for vinyl vesion of EBW5 is 8.40 it is identical to the single version of It Began In Afrika because it is pressed from the same pressing plate.

so why is there a 9.52 EBW 5 mix?

the first original pressing of 50 or so EBWs will be a white label test pressing that are sent out to all the major DJ. they do not have the EBW synth logo. i believe this is where the different longer mix comes from.

I want that version ! is it anywhere ?

yeah, I was shocked that it was the single version, thought it was longer too. kinda anti climatic end, but it's nice to have a ebw3 & 9 copy on cd!

not to dust off an old topic, but wasn't there a version that said "black out," don't know if that was on the old flash promo (110901.com? or something like that). Some crack-pot conspiracies around this..

Let your emails here, so I can send this longer version of EBW5.

Well, I gave it a listen and I like! I can hear certain sections extended as well as the ending. Thanks for sending.

thanks!

I sent an email with link for all those adresses.

This extended version don't seem out of rotation to me. It must be an official but less known version of EBW5. Am I right?

Sad this is not the Brotherhood version...

There was a dodgy trance bootleg of EBW5 floating around at the time of the EBW release, and an AWFUL lot of the fakes were sold on eBay/uploaded to torrents. It could be one of those?

I remember there was this one version that was made either by someone trying to do some cuts with it or something and it was horribly off-beat at times and it was on a lot of torrents

This version is well together.

I would appreciate it as well:

The address is not a joke... ;)

Thanks a lot!

Also, did anyone notice that EBW1 is also the album version of IDM, with the beginning of DSTR (EBW2) at the end of it. :(

I like this extended-extended version of EBW5. Thanks thiagobyo.
