Yawning Man - Catamaran

The Version of Catamaran from Yawning man .. Kyuss make the cover of this song

[@BagpipeHustler]

"it's a shame most people don't know kyuss... " yeah, it's a shame most people don't know YAWNING MAN!

[@Nicsmovies]

It's a giant shame that yawning man didn't record anything for 19 years! How much stellar music we all missed out on, even this track would have so much more just from a proper recording

[@jodelyokel9212]

it was always my favorite song of kyuss. now like 15 years later i learned it was a cover. amazing stuff

[@mrbejam]

I knew it was a cover way back when I bought Kyuss' ...and the circus leaves town in 1999, but this is the first time I've heard the original. The wonders of the Internet!

[@tbonesears]

This is actually off of Yawing Man's 1986 demo tapes that weren't released until a few years back. 24 tracks, a lot of it sounds more like Fatso Jetson than what I know of Yawning Man now, it's cool to see in retrospect how Mario and Larry Lalli went one direction with this original sound and how Yawning Man took off with another. Either way for '86, some of that shit was WAY ahead of its time. You should definitely check it out, well worth the money.

[@dredlocksoldier1]

you know whats funny "catamaran" is similar to the filipino word "katamaran" meaning lazyness lol

[@senfglas555]

really?

[@donkosaurus]

this song deserves a quality recording

[@drjinx3447]

It has one

[@maowohammer2577]

I kinda like the low quality recording, It fits the vibe and adds to it's trippy effects

[@DesertSessions93]

@@maowohammer2577 a higher quality version of the original would be great.

[@AceBambam]

Wow this one's groovier and lighter than kyuss' version despite the audio quality

[@tenrohle]

I was today years old when I learnt Kyuss covered this. Mind blown.

[@chichometoca]

i first listened to the kyuss version and i loved it but the more i listen to this one i feel that this is how it should really be played.

[@billMcLatentspace]

Good dad! I remember my dad playing Hawkwind in the car when I was a kid which was cool, but it was me who showed him Songs for the Deaf in the car and he loved it. Ah, desert rock and fathers... good times.

[@MadeInChileBornInNor]

wow nice. I came here from a big kyuss fan and i think im turning into a big fan of Yawning! Cheers

[@Pixieonthe7]

Kyuss version is way above. Up in the stratosphere. I guess one of the few cases when the Cover surpasses the originally by far! Kyuss version takes me to another world and that too with no substance! AWESOME!

[@topperdoomer]

i like this original better than kyuss cover... more sabbath and hendrix... less sweetness ....

[@kyussfan6]

I just found the Rock Formations album. There's no Catamaran. But it is fucking awesome.

[@quimsolls1]

listened to this while tripping balls stoned on mdma. found it in my downloads the next day (don't know how i managed that). amazing stuff

[@eglitis1978]

It was up on there my space once over.

[@nickthelick]

There's a tape with most of the old Yawning Man stuff on it, including the band talking about buying their own club... it awesome shit, and I was told to guard it with my life!! =O)

[@OlaHermansson]

Wow, I have listened to K since Sky Valley but didn't know it was a cover. I have always liked this song and listened to this one w great interest. Maybe K recorded not only because its good but it needs to be properly recorded. The demo version is very lo-fi. Great to learn about YM too. Thank you!

[@kmsharley75]

Ola Hermansson I never realized it was a cover either. mind blown

[@a.w8584]

Ola Hermansson They probably did a cover if it because Yawning Man's drummer played in And the circus leaves town

[@theace7212]

Somehow Kyuss saw something in this song to make the epic version that they did. I don't know how though.

[@gabrielfrendberg3536]

Alfredo Hernandez played in Yawning Man before. WHen he joined Kyuss they made this cover.

[@EricWilliamson00]

This original is amazing as well I think, just really bad sound quality. Not denying I prefer Kyuss' version, but both are good.

[@vuzganje]

You don't know how? It's the same fucking song with different vocals.. just the recording quality is bad here.

[@Sonic_Titan]

They released this song on their newest album with a good studio quality. The original song is already epic by itself

[@coliosucc7468]

dont let the cheap 80s recording audio fool you, this song is great.

[@Multibjarne]

@desertblitzkrieg he kicks ass..! I hope he will release some stuff from Across The River

[@skullshifter66]

I think this is the original version. Kyuss did a cover of it I beleive. Fredo was in this band, they were before kyuss, pretty rad!

[@bakayurei]

i don't think they ever recorded this song (not in a studio i mean, i realize i'm hearing it now haha), or any of their others besides what's on pot head and rock formations .. and whatever they might have recorded after that.. they were originally a purely live band

[@corkskrewclubhouse93]

This is awesome. It has a really cool refreshing summer sound to it.

[@brrrul]

it my favorite kyuss song but now that i know the original i like this one much better

[@junkreep]

Kyuss is like smoke a big fat join and dancin'. I can't find the record that has this awesome song, specially it surprises me because I thought Yawning Man was only instrumental. Great song.

[@bronzeboats]

I like the guitar sound on this version’s chorus better. The Kyuss version is really muddy. I like the Kyuss vocals way better though.

[@blowie704]

Glad I heard this it was cool At first at didnt like it, cause the melody is better in Kyuss version for the verse, but the chorus of this is excellent, i like his vocal. Is that Mario Lalli singing?

[@mertvak]

such a pitty thats the only recording of it :(

[@skewbeef]

No this is how it sounds on the album, it is off the first original demo album called Parable Circus. Amazing band

[@M_Erstrand]

yeah it sounds like Mario. And i agree on that melody thing, John actually sings in the Kyuss version. Mario's badass tough

[@AchtungA3]

Yawning Man owns. I heard this'll be on the compilation album that's supposed to be coming out soon.

[@Outlawstar615]

Your're soooo right...agreed

[@TheLogan1186]

kyuss is the best by far

[@AudioStorm1980]

Vad Bond and these idiot think these guys did it better.......I wish the drugs around here were that good.

[@andrearieta8291]

OPINIONS, PEOPLE, EVERYONE HAS THEM, DEAL WITH IT

[@nickthelick]

@nemouk So the original tape has been released onto cd The Birth Of Sol Music? Coooool! All cleaned up I imagine? Thanks for getting back to me. =O)

[@theoperrin4970]

My journey to hear started with my dad playing me some qotsa in the car. Fucking good journey.

[@Outlawstar615]

Kyuss did a friggin good job! and dude its a cover its not supposed to be exactly the same. And plus going from experience. I heard the kyuss version first, then the Yawning Man version and i totally thought Kyuss did it better......just my opinion though...deal with it. ^_^

[@betterdaysareatoenailaway]

the guitar sounds so glassy. really beautiful. always wanted to hear the original. i love the vibe but I prefer John Garcia's vocal.

[@thehumanoperator]

Mario Lalli still being awesome , he made Across The River band with Reeder and Hernandez in 1986, and formed Yawning Man later, but they signed only several years later. Fucking Discographics...

[@bigjim666]

Mario Lalli is a genius. Great guitar work and song writing in all his projects.

[@JanjayTrollface]

Wow! Education time! Always thought this was a Kyuss song.....

[@Weeela]

Oh my, what an awesome song. Would give much for this in decent quality!

[@bananiolo2]

@skaban your right that's truly good

[@MikeMProductions]

Its nice to hear the original finally. And it is really good, i think i prefer the Kyuss cover though.

[@SuperWeeeedy]

The audio sucks, but the way it´s played is better than Kyuss.

[@LKirahs]

Because it was at live

[@dummychannel8058]

doesen´t matter - still better than kyuss version in my ears - it rips more and dynamics are much better

[@Liosan00]

I hope you are joking

[@alcoholya]

it's flat.. he's right.. love the song, but the recording is shit..

[@Liosan00]

Explain me why this is better than kyuss

[@eglitis1978]

Man!!!! the sound ads to the vibe! We should all take this tune for what it is without wanting a pollished up version! I'm not being a dick by the way man!

[@zord0n666]

yesssssssssssssssss, oh desert rock how I love you.

[@gramoukdoom]

well guys s if this is impossible to buy, we need a lucky owner of this demo tape or cd w/e to make a .wav copy go round the net. really need this!

[@elmud]

I searched a lot for this song, but it seems that the only Yawning Man's version available is this one, and it has poor quality...it's a shame, it's a wonderful song.

[@BagpipeHustler]

for desert rock, this is definetly a first.

[@LachmanTF]

This wasnt made to be covered by Kyuss u fool, they were just paying ther respects to the Lalli bros on and the circus leaves town

[@skaban]

if u like yawning man, listen to Ten East i love it

[@BrecMadak]

Where does this song take place in the discography of Yawning Man?? I don't see it in Rock Formations at all...

[@Commander1keller]

BrecMadak it’s in the Birth of sol

[@Incubated81]

love this song... is there anywhere a version with a better sound?

[@laberdude]

unfortunately this was only on a demo tape or something else.. wasnt sold, only give away to friends of the band ive heard...

[@PatrickCSheehy]

@PietRock85 - Good for you "Piet" or is it "Mr. 85"? and you should keep laughing out loud because your channel deserves a couple chuckles too!

[@morenoisback]

It could be possible get this with a better quality?? Any mp3 or link for that?? Thanks 4 the upload dude!

[@ke228]

It's a demo.

[@FunkMastaMegaFlex]

agreed, Kyuss does everything better than a lot of bands.

[@ke228]

Seriously, if he's into Yawning man, how can he not like Kyuss!?!?!

[@blackholedays]

@sicknessguitar87 Well, nothing can sound better than the original because, well, it's what defines the song. Kyuss' version sounded more polished and everything sounded so much better. I think it's 'cause they had a larger budget to hire a better producer/studios

[@krolletop]

Where the hell did you get it? I love this song. Fortunatly it's on the Kyuss album were Alfredo is on the drums.

[@MagnificentFiend]

The American underground scene was great throughout about '79-'89. Obviously, the mainstream was largely shite, as ever.

[@Multibjarne]

fuck me! I'm gonna check em out right now!!

[@skaban]

thx :P

[@2pacsrevenge]

Anyone know where I can listen to this in good quality? Kyuss' Catamaran is my favourite song friggin ever, and I want to listen to the original as it was meant to be listened to.

[@aussieosbourne]

kyuss brought me here... thank you kyuss

[@TheAngryNerdLee]

sau geil

[@videogamespike]

best version!!!!

[@laberdude]

coversongs are never better... but the kyuss version is really good! no doubt

[@gramoukdoom]

GUYS! WHO HAS A LOSSLESS OR AT LEAST DECENT COPY OF THIS SONG TO SHARE??? If anyone has an original copy RIP IT PLEASE!!! I got loads of goodies to exange too, but I need this one!!!! thanx peace, jim beam, chronic & black sabbath

[@jacksonthrasher]

this is a totally different song from the one kyuss played, they obviously changed it a bit since kyuss covered it i dont think the two can be compared anymore

[@ThePhobos100]

They played in a different key.

[@zord0n666]

Could someone rapidshare or soulseek this, I'd love to actually have a copy....

[@ncklcng2656]

Can anyone lend thier vocals for a cover of this track?

[@NuclearGuru350]

Kyuss formed in like 1989...

[@Pixieonthe7]

Kyuss and Def Leppard. Dude, stop kidding around! lol

[@Weeela]

Well yeah, I guess you have a point.. Makes it all a bit more mysterious!

[@bullminotaur55]

Good song. I like the kyuss version more though.

[@N3ukenInD3K3uken]

there's only a live version of this song?

[@VodkaBroadWhorizons]

It's not 'live' per se; it's a demo and yes, unfortunately it's the only 'official' recording of this song from Yawning Man, written by Gary Arce. It's from the "Birth of Sol" recordings. Check iTunes and such for download; I personally would LOVE if the guys got together to re-record all of these songs, but I cannot tell you if that will happen or not, just keep fingers crossed! :-)

[@N3ukenInD3K3uken]

+Vodka Broad Whorizons Yeah I think I like the Kyuss cover better. But I would still be stoked to hear a good audio version of the original

[@Floyd690]

4 years later xd, they did a remastered of this son skypjuh, if u seek on youtube u will find it

[@N3ukenInD3K3uken]

@@Floyd690 I bought it on Bandcamp ;)

[@pnonsense]

Just awesome (though Kyuss did a great job at covering this). Too bad you can't find a good recording of it.

[@doomster56]

Hey do you guys know what are the actual lyrics for the chorus. Every website write "no it does'nt take your" as the first sentence but i don't hear it in the song. Can somebody help me ?

[@Jim90117]

what album is this song on, because i cant find it in the rock formations track list

[@greenmachine666]

to be honest, i think this is better. no hating though

[@inalej002]

iTunes?

[@Outlawstar615]

One inch Man was a good song...but yeah ur right about it being one of their most creative songs...ur funny!

[@skaban]

its on soulseek

[@laberdude]

you mean the quality?

[@LordRassy]

@sicknessguitar87 hell yeah

[@DesertSoundgardenia]

beautiful song, too bad they don't play it live :(

[@wardrich]

This song's alright... and I know I'm gonna get flamed into forever for it because I too am a defender of original bands when crappy covers come about buuuuut... I honestly think Kyuss' cover is better. I've never listened or heard of Yawning Man before, though. I'll definitely give them a chance. Just not much of a fan of the vocals. (Kyuss' cover is pretty much as truthful to this as it could possibly be)

[@AudioStorm1980]

wardrich it is better, but most of these idiots don't stay sober long enough to realize it.

[@chichometoca]

from a kyuss fan

[@daniellebrier9692]

Kyuss cover much more tighter, eerie and sung much better, sorry YM, Kyuss remake makes you sound, well, amateurish.

[@slapal8664]

Danielle Brier maybe Kyuss version is better but unfortunately they didn't write the song...

[@RossMonster]

+Danielle Brier I like how the riff is more at the front of the sound in this version. Let's you hear how cool of a riff it is.

[@alcoholya]

I'm sure a nitpicky editor could 'improve' Ulysses too....

[@miisu]

Pardon my french, but you are a fucking idiot.

[@cutandpastestudio]

[@laberdude]

OMFG! there is no garcia or homme! its a complete different band! recorded in the 80´s !

[@NerfHerderD17]

what albums this from?

[@redshaftedflicker]

[@WelshWizard79]

who wrote it??

[@PhonyMcR]

Original sounds better than the cover, though u couldn't imagine when u hear kyuss' version first

ahhhhhhhh, horrible! makes it even more mystic. thts why we need one of those lucky bastards to rip it for us! hehe

sry this is the only version that i get and is an a mp3
