Someone at the torrent tracker had these comments about some of the tracks:

Set 1: Track 10 - Beep (from Chomp, but the lyrics seem a bit different, perhaps these were just working lyrics prior to completing the lyrics that ended up on the album)
Set 2: Track 2 - 3x3 (unreleased as far as I
know, only performed live)
Set 2: Track 16 - Driving School (from Gyrate, was on original pressings, later
pressings [as well as European pressings] used "Recent Title"
instead)

Here's Vanessa Briscoe Hay (Pylon vocalist), describing the recording of the band's second album, Chomp (produced by Chris Stamey and Gene Holder) to music writer Fred Mills in 2007:
"Working with Chris and Gene, they both
had such different personalities and they really complemented each other. Chris
was playing around with things, stuff we hadn't thought of, like noisegating
the drums; he just thought outside the box, and he didn't look at anything like
it was a problem, but more like, ‘Well, if this isn't going to work, what else
can we do?'"
