I was listening to it yesterday. Odd that Blaah says it is a different song but then some people think Seven and The Ragged Tiger and Seventh Stranger are different songs.
Some people said that Bomb is from Big Thing sessions while Chill is from Liberty sessions. Is that correct? Either way the track sounds more like the adult contemporary sound they would go for on Liberty and TWA.

Bomb is definitely from the Big Thing sessions. Capitol Chill on the other hand is up in the air. It's generally accepted to be a Liberty-era demo, but no-one really seems to know for sure.
The singing in Bomb seems to be total gibberish/babble, while Chill seems to have legible, coherent lyrics (despite the atrocious quality of the demo we have).

All this is on the DD wiki: duranduran.wikia.com/wiki/Bomb/Capitol_ChillI dont have Capitol Chill, but then Bomb is a very weak track. I like their attempt at the lyrics on the wiki but this also goes to prove the song was unworkable. I guess they hit a bottleneck.

I can 100% verify that Capital Chill was doing the circuit BEFORE Liberty saw the light of day. The 'outside' version was provided to me by a pen pal (before the days of FB and the like) in late 1988. Too be honest it sounded so bad that I off loaded it! It was unlistenable to say the least... This is good to know. It certainly sounds like 88. The instrumental Bomb version is a complete studio backing track, and sounds like Steve Ferrone to me. From this, I'm guessing that Capitol Chill was the early demo version, followed by Bomb (with Simon working on the melody) to the Bomb instrumental. I wonder if the lyrics were ever finished. Warren mentioned that he and the band were working on another song during the Big Thing sessions and he thought it was called Cocaine or somehting like that. Bomb is one of my favourite songs from that era and I think it could have been a strong addition to the album.

Capital Chill was definitely from the Big Thing session. Although I don't have it anymore it was mentioned in a fanzine at the time the album was being recorded. Also when Duran played on the Big Thing tour in Liverpool we waited outside the Adelphi Hotel to catch a glimpse of them, and I asked Nick if it would ever be released, to which he replied "ner, it was never finished."

Bomb is one of my favourite songs from that era and I think it could have been a strong addition to the album. Yep, the snap of Ferrone's snare (as much due to his preferred way of tuning & miking his drums as to his considerable technique, I'm betting) is like an instant signature. Definitely him on Bomb. I remember some years back, when listening to Cyndi Lauper's epic "I Drove All Night" (a song that went in one ear and out the other at the time it came out, but which I now consider one of my very favorite of hers), when all of a sudden it hit me..."that HAS to be Steve Ferrone on drums. A quick check of liner notes and, sure enough, it was!
