Originally the intro to an abandoned LP. Works better here.

Shelved for being too confrontational. Correct decision at the time. Wrong now.

Late Archive Vol. 1 is a curator's project as much as a musical one. Six tracks pulled from two years of sessions that were shelved, abandoned, or simply never finished — and the result is more coherent than it has any right to be. Tracks 2 and 5 are the standouts, both of which were reportedly shelved for being 'too raw.' They were right, and they were wrong.

⚠ Critical Note

Track 4 is an incomplete session included intentionally. It ends abruptly at 2:47.
