It was a CD and we have a picture of it I believe

I personally don't count this as an "official" mixtape or EP since we don't have a real title for it [and that version of Ruby (Put Me in a Movie) is already on the elusive No Kung Fu]

tysm!

Do you mean this one? The original torrent got taken down on DimeADozen, I would have loved to look at the comments.

I'd love to have the og files of nkf, tpolg, ylm etc... i did some sleuthing and the only trace I found is this site https://rockarchive.webs.com/current that lists nkf alongside some live performances, but there's no download link at all. for the rest - nothing interesting.

fanmade considering DICWB post BTD mix was made in 2014 a little bit before ultraviolence came out so i doubt melancholia was still a thing then

[Coloringbooks]

That tracklist is fanmade. The description also states it's a concept the person had created.

 

Let's keep in mind that Lana never said 'Melancholia' was a considered album title, only that Melancholia (the song) was later reworked into Ultraviolence's title track

plus those tracklists always include the unreleased songs only (minus old money) i feel like there would be atleast a couple more released songs in there if it was real

yeah like black beauty bc we KNOW it was considered for Tropico which means (if melancholia rly had a tracklist at one point) it would also be considered for melancholia

personally, i like to believe that melancholia was a full-blown album that was scrapped

agreed!!! im a 'melancholia-is-an-album' truther.

[jamesss]

are there any other concept demo albums that we know of? like, that have a tracklist? (besides already released ones like MJS and NKF)

but if melancholia had been an album would tropico have been an album too? or do we consider melancholia as an alt title for tropico?

[Eugene]

Maybe someday someone should ask Lana if Melancholia and Tropico were real albums. 

[lanaismamom]

theres no way for melancholia being a real album title since this song had never been finished so im highly doubt that, neither melancholia nor black beauty or stuff, it has always been tropico - the name of earliest draft tracklist and ultraviolence, trans am from the other side remains a mystery tho.,,,

[Eugene]

I think of Tropico or whatever the pre-uv album will be called, as an acoustic guitar album.

i think if melancholia was an album title, it would have been the transitional period between the tropico concept being scrapped and before the final UV concept being initialized (melancholia being the reference title to the original idea for UV without having a solid concept)

[Eugene]

Trans-Am is such an interesting title, I wish we knew more about it.
