"ISDN Show" was a very limited edition promo CD of a live ISDN recording. It was released in early 1997 in a clear slipcase only. The album is rumoured to have been planned for release, but scrapped due to sample clearance issues.

The first two tracks are obviously Hallucination (an early demo version of Yage) as it was played in many times live since the Peel session from 1995. Hallucination was later released on The Archives Vol.1 in 2007.

track 4: track 4: the first two minutes are full of environments containing Kaaawa (Little Star), Is It Real, WHE Part 1 and then Womb begins and continues into track 5.
(Is it possible that Womb could be the first two minutes of this track? or is it confirmed that it is the same track as Accompaniment for Melodious Expression from Environments 3 (in 2010). If the first 2 minutes could be Womb, then it's possible the first 50 seconds of track 10 to be Womb 2, but I doubt Womb 2 even exists...)

track 5: from 1:11 onwards it is clearly Psycho-Crab by Oil. The last 25-ish seconds are intro for track 6.

track 7: is G Electro, later released as Yashica on The Archives Vol.5 in 2008.

track 8: is Tingler '96 - a different version of this track, named War Machines was released on The Archives Vol.7 in 2012.

track 12: Carlos remains unique to this release to date. It seems to be a tribute to Wendy Carlos (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wendy_Carlos)

track 13: Everyone In The World has almost nothing to do with the album version Everyone In The World Is Doing Something Without Me. Also unique to this release.

track 14: Sitting Around served as some kind of outro for this promo. It was released in it's full version named Arrived, on The Archives Vol.1 in 2007.

-----------------------------------------------------

the original tracklist on the CD is like this:

01. Yage (2:26)
02. Yage (4:08)
03. My Kingdom (5:39)
04. Psycho-Crab (3:59)
05. G Electro (4:17)
06. Her Face Forms In Summertime (4:28)
07. Tingler '96 (4:39)
08. Womb (4:37)
09. Glass (4:26)
10. Herd Killing (4:39)
11. Max (Original) (4:21)
12. Carlos (6:26)
13. Everyone In The World (3:11)
14. Sitting Around (1:51)

and someone on Discogs and back in the old days too) posted a "fixed" tracklist like this:
(I don't know how he came up with this one because there are no time-stamps on the tracks, but I'm gonna ignore this tracklist...)

01 Yage
02 My Kingdom
03 Womb
04 Psycho-Crab
05 Her Face Forms In Summertime
06 G Eletro
07 Tingler '96
08 Glass
09 Womb 2
10 Herd Killing
11 Max
12 Carlos
13 Everyone In The World
14 Sitting Around

and finally - I will post a tracklist as I think it should be, and hopefully with some help from Ross and the rest of the guys we'll settle this once-and-for-all (is that the right term?) :)

Nice work! This was getting confusing - and maybe explains why a track I found to listen to labelled as Womb sounded suspiciously like My Kingdom!

Is Carlos as yet unreleased anywhere other than here?

My CD has Womb 1 listed after My Kingdom. Not sure where the Discogs tracklist has come from. Anyway, yes, the Official FSOLBoard Tracklist version is right. Either Womb 2 is the first 50 seconds of Herd Killing or it doesn't exist.
