Very good post. Finally had time to sit and listen. I love hearing how things get put together and wish more bands would release this type of information. So many people caught up in the "Behind the music" mentality of how things can go so wrong with an artist or a band, very little focus on how things get created. Not just outtakes, but tracing the path of musical develpment. I urge more musicians to do what Chris did with FOOW, a narration track giving some insight into how things developed, anecdotes, etc... Very fascinating stuff.
