The cassette stated that [[Welcome 2 The Dawn]] (Acoustic Version) was taken from "the 4thcoming album [[Project: The Dawn|The Dawn]]". It seems likely, however, that the acoustic version was already planned for [[Album: The Truth|The Truth]] and that the unreleased 'non-acoustic' version was planned for the aborted project [[Project: The Dawn|The Dawn]]. | * [[Welcome 2 The Dawn]] (Acoustic Version) was included as the b-side on a free promo cassette single of [[Single: The Holy River|The Holy River]] given out by [[Exclusive retail partnerships#Borders Books & Music|Borders Books & Music]] in the summer of 1997.
