A series of interviews and samples of takes of the songs to make an audio documentary of the making of each. But never really a documentary of all the parts of the song coming together, more a hotchpotch of each. As a lot of the interview sections are from mono sources, this whole disc was mixed into mono to avoid sounding more of a mismatch of sources. |
