Feel demo similarity to Flamboyant demo

Listening to the Nonetheless demos, I noticed the Feel demo bears striking sonic similarities to the Flamboyant demo. I know the music for Feel was written and recorded around the same time as Flamboyant, but I thought it might be possible they would re-record the music, even in demo form, for Feel for various reasons: new gear, new ideas, etc. However, listening to this expanded edition and then going back and listening to the demo for Flamboyant it sounds as if many of the same soft synths were used. I guess Neil just recorded a new vocal on top of the original demo music.

I also noticed some resemblance to early 00s demos in Feel demo. In my case it was Baby (the "woo" lead synth). And synths in the bridge - probably Flamboyant demo, yes.

Absolutely right by the sound of it

I noticed the same thing! Also, the Barfly version of It's A Sin uses the same synth as used in the Feel demo. These were all done at the same time, so it'd make sense.
