Recycle Bin
Orphaned songs — too good to discard, not quite finished. An idea-mine for future work.
Release date: 1986-2011
Extra songs and sounds that never found a home within an album become like stray cats — wandering, making alliances only when they need to, staking out territories in place and time. Never domesticated by the constructs of a record, they stay feral. They surface unexpectedly, scratch at the edges of memory, appear in dreams. The digital era lets us rescue them.
Reaching back to 1986, these songs and outtakes serve as transition points — ranging from ambient poetry readings to instrumental semi-live jams. Never finished products, but works in progress that deserve a second look before going back in the bin.
