that he made better songs than those. they are just sitting there, unreleased (as in non-album tracks)

Everything on monuments is a throwaway.

Songs that I’d throw on there— DIA, that’s the way, gossamer, inkless, violet rays.

I’d also get rid of starz and replace with never lost.

not including any TFE songs (I think that album stands up on its own) just Tilt because I love it and it needs a home.

Gossamer doesn't fit on a compilation... would be a release unto itself, really.

Inkless was close to making the cut... got replaced by Bring the Light actually.

Violet Rays and Celestials were considered... just a tad too meh

hard disagree on Starz... neverlost is boring and starz chorus rocks

Yeah superchrist deserves a spot on the riffs alone.

And starz is just corny af to me.

Also stitch in time is a good one

stich in time was considered, decided not to touch Ogilala (Archer is the best track on that poor album)

Yup. My original title was Lost at Sea or Lost on this Road

still a lot of pretty fantastic lush guitar work in this set though

ha this thing may need some normalization. the zeitgeist tracks are mixed comically louder than everything else

Damn, Turd of The Lion, I don't know what to think anymore. Nothing makes sense. How can someone listen to Boris and TSP 2? Shame on you!

So, like, now that this 1979 remix is out (ghosts) everyone’s (ghosts) gonna revisit the shit (ghosts) years and try to cobble together something (ghosts) that doesn’t crush souls (ghosts) to listen at? Sounds (ghosts) fun
