I think "Spare Me" was not used on Future Games because in making that album the band were purposefully trying to create a new sound and look entirely ahead. Danny Kirwan, for example, could have included "Purple Dancer" or "Down at the Crown," though the band seemed dead set on forging ahead with an entirely new sound and new songs. In this way, Future Games is among the most radical albums in the FM catalog. It got mixed reviews--and a harsh write up in Rolling Stone. Perhaps this is why Bare Trees seems closer in spirit to Mac's previous albums, a return to guitar-dominated rock with driving blues rhythms. Bare Trees was also very quickly recorded, which means maybe Christine didn't have enough time to write two new songs for it. "Homeward Bound" was new. With "Spare Me" she and Danny selected from the vault... |

Yes, he was. And Future Games is definitely a BAND effort.
Here's that Christine song I couldn't remember: https://m.youtube.com/results?q=flet...right+now&sm=3 |

I've got to say the bare bones are there- its a fun, bouncy number. I absolutely get the 'Remember Me' connection. Great pics on that slideshow. |

Thanks for posting - love that song. I wish there was more on Future Games. I just wish there was more from that era in general. The Danny/Christine combo was just as great as the Lindsey/Christine combo. Danny was such a great guitar player, and so overlooked in the history of the band.
