This is a collection of some music we've recorded over the past few years. They are essentially pieces which we believe are as good as anything we've done but don't quite fit in with the rest of the tracks for the upcoming album.

All music produced, mixed, and mastered by Terry Skaggs in the Map Room.

"Everlasting" (February 2006) 8:11
An experiment born out of loops of Sean's piano performance on a Trecento outtake from March of 2003.

Mark sent me some tracks he had been working on and I began processing and adding new instrumentation to his "Song 6" piece.
Mark Francesckina: synths

Written immediately after one of my trips to Samoa, plane weary and glad to be home.

"Jamais Vu" (June 2008) 7:41
Began life as a Dead Lizard Grin track for one of my sunset videos. In the end I felt it didn't work properly for the film and went with a more pastoral piece for Pool Of Dawn.

Inspired by a recently discovered phonautograph recording, Marc constructed this track using samples of that phonautogram as the foundation.
