Soungarden's Echo of Miles: Scattered Tracks across the Paths is a three-disc set featuring dozens of rarities (due November 24). On Friday, the band provided another pre-release nugget.
"Twin Tower" is an instrumental written by drummer Matt Cameron that the group decided to leave off 1989's Louder Than Love, according to Rolling Stone.
The track features dissonant guitar work over motoring power chords. Solos abound, but it's no surprise this one landed on the cutting room floor.
Feel the roar:
The group released a wailing cover of Sly and the Family Stone's "Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Again)" yesterday.
This summer, Cornell spoke to Nikki Sixx about the 20th anniversary of Superunknown.
"I think the main thing is, it's sort of unquestionably Soundgarden in every way," Cornell said. "I don't think there are songs on it that could have or would have been written by anyone else, arranged that way, performed that way, whether it's the music, lyrics, the sounds. I think we had already come into our own and had our own sound, but Superunknown cemented it as living in its own world.
"It created an autonomy for us that we could make albums that were strictly Soundgarden albums that no one else was going to sound like and no one else could write. We kind of lived in our own world. I think that was important for us. I think we started out as a band that way, and I think during the early '90s, we then sort of lost the autonomy being lumped into other Seattle bands. That wasn't bad; that was a good thing. It was great that it was us and our friends kind of conquering the world. But it took away some of that autonomy for all of us."
