The two Lumina collections were a way for us to release a lot of strange material that had been sitting around for quite a while. We had piles of unreleased songs, many of which we thought were quite good, but they were not part of any album; they had no home. A lot of these songs were mellow, others were more ambient, others just presented strange moods. We also had spent a couple of nights with a tape recorder, keyboard, a couple of cymbals, and 2 acoustic guitars and had performed some live acoustic takes of some old songs. On top of these groups of material, I had also, as an exercise, recorded some re-interpretations of some old material, in a stripped down and moody manner. The question of what to do with all of this brought up the thought of a compilation of sorts.
The idea for one compilation turned into two, then it turned into three discs. Fixer came up with a couple of brilliant running orders for the discs, and we were done. There is a lot of strange and wonderful music here. Enjoy.
