Four tracks that were outtakes from my Flow album. This is the first of a series of "leftover" pieces of music from that time.

When I released the Flow album in early 2008, I had nearly 20 different tracks to work with in creating it. In the end, the album had seven tracks (the final track, "That Was A Different Life" was actually three tracks stitched together because they worked well thematically.)

Some tracks didn't make the cut for whatever reason: unfinished, didn't fit with the theme, was good but would have pushed the album length beyond where I was comfortable, or was maybe slightly lesser than the other tracks I had created.

(Now that I've made a few albums, I like to keep the running time something reasonable: in the 35 to 45 minute timeframe.)

Some people might think, "Why not create another album out of the outtakes?" Well, I don't really work that way. I like to give away a lot of music. If these extra tracks entice you to check out samples of the Flow album, and maybe download it via Napster or buy it via CDBaby or iTunes or AmazonMP3.com, then that's great. If you just go for the freebees, that's OK too.

If you actually make it to this page and have heard the podcast, I'd love to hear from you. Email mark@markrushton.com and let me know where you are and how you listen to my podcast. Do you listen on the computer, download tracks and burn them to CD, or put them on a portable player? Don't worry, I won't put you on any mailing list, and I may not necessarily reply. I'm just kind of curious who is listening, where, and how. That's all.

Thanks again for listening to my music.
