Reviews

This is what I think that happened with this release:

It looks like Genesis didn’t get a permission from Peter Christopherson (and probably not from Chris and Cosey either), so he made up the story that this is a recording from 1975, when Peter was not in the band. It looks like Genesis had tapes from concert(s) in Berlin - 7th and 8th November 1980. Famous “Discipline” (bonus on “20 Jazz Funk Greats”) is from the 2nd night and those (longish) improvs were from the 1st concert, on 7th Nov. Considering that those four songs are not included in any of their other releases, it was easy to call them 1975 sessions “Recorded on a Stereo Sony Cassette supplied as a "Virus" by William S. Burroughs”(!?). So, this would be a more possible list:

“Blood Pressure” - live in Berlin, Nov 7th 1980

“Destoria” - Berlin, Nov 7th 1980

“Cerebral Aneurysm” - is “Epping Forest," which also appears on “Nothing Short Of A Total War” and “Assume Power Focus”

“Catheder Depletion” - Berlin, Nov 7th 1980

“Humoral Respons” - Berlin, Nov 7th 1980

“Zyklon B. Zombie (Alive)” - original 7" mix of the song

“Speed” - is/should be “Industrial Muzac” edited from 28:19 to 22:26 (originally on “Pastimes/Industrial Muzac”), or it is an extended version of "Final Muzak" from “First Annual Report”.
