Feelium

Now comes a strange part of writing this thing.  What to do when it comes to semi-obscure instrumentals on demo tapes?

Well, include them, of course.

"Feelium" is on the third Mellon Collie demo tape, and from what I can gather, has most of the same songs on the second tape, but also has Feelium and an electric demo of God.  Like most of the demos on the second tape, the songs are built around a drum machine.  Feelium's beat never changes through the whole song, and Billy & James (maybe just Billy) play swirling guitar riffs for four minutes.  There's a slight variation on the riff, as close as the song gets to a chorus, and a couple of little breaks where it's a guitar playing without the swirly effect.

The song is very pretty, the riff is pretty nice and pleasant sounding, but it's pretty plain to see why the song didn't go anywhere past the demo tape.
