Orchestral Objects recorded September 2024 at University of Music in Łódź

Beautiful Infinity - early version includes a theme edited out of the final track.

Unused Objects comprises early work in progress ideas not used in the final track, including a completely different song section.

No Ghost on the Moor alternate version features a very different Randy McStine guitar solo. Randy sent me several versions before we got to the one that I felt was the approach and sound I was looking for. But I love this one too.

Permanence was recorded as you hear it on the album, so only ever intended to be 3-4 minutes long, but this especially prepared extended version spaces out the elements, and makes use of some different takes played by Theo.

Reviews

  • DarkAmbientDealer's avatar
    Sorry to be picky but would it be so hard to include the instrumental version on a cd.
    now they are locked to the blu ray.
    what would it cost the label, an extra $1 ?
    I cannot rip tracks from a blu ray
