These are 'the ones that got away' or 'the ones that stayed behind'. Most of these compositions were never commercially released and the reasons ranged from artistic considerations to bad timing to decisions of incompatibility. However, the fact remains that they all have inspired and contributed in artistic terms as much as any of my commercially released compositions. This album is a collection of demos, demo masters and masters, serving as a kind of audio biographical reflection of the artistic process. - Georg Kajanus 2006
