'Three Dreams' aside, it's been a while since Enough Rope did any kind of compilation album. Primarily this is something for me to listen to on the bus; some of the one-off, previously internet-only tracks felt worthy of being on a CD, and as the title suggests, this was pretty much encouraged by the recent, and pretty darn good if I say so myself, 'Hymn To A Lost Day'.

This is a mix of 'proper' songs and interesting curios from pretty much the whole existence of Enough Rope. In the former category come this year's 'Ropes To Infinity' offcut 'Black Lines Part 2' (nearly 7 minutes of occasionally tuneful looped drone), the Melted Emperor's mildly disturbing remix of 2006's 'Hey Motherfucker', summer 2005's early-Mogwai homage 'Sometime Soon Means Never', and of course, the lumbering, bass-led 'Hymn To A Lost Day' from last month.

In the curio category; pretty much everything else. 'The Horror!' is a brief bit of heavily treated noise which has been hanging around pretty much since the beginning. 2003's 'Preacher' is a simple MIDI piano line overlaid with a speech by some insane American evangelical preacher I found in the dubious backwaters of the internet. 'Scribble' and 'Scribble Too' are odd little doodles from 2004. 'Post-Dance' is a song I recorded last month as an in-joke, talking to Tina on MSN about danceable music, I inexplicably took it as a challenge, and two minutes and 37 seconds later I'd looped up this kind of quasi-dubstep thing. 'Improv' has been knocking around ages, it's 8 minutes of single-guitar, er, improv as the name suggests. If memory serves I put this on a bonus disc full of crap I did for Tina's birthday one year.

Speaking of Tina, rumour has it that Tina has occasionally dabbled in the dark art of music herself. I can't confirm that of course, but if she had, she might have done a track called 'Echoes', and if I had done a cover of it, I reckon it would have sounded almost exactly like 'Echo' on here. 'Movie (demo)' is another brief MIDI exercise, this time accompanied by a bizarre example clip from some kind of speech-generating program I downloaded years ago, and 'Gnisir' is literally 2002's 'Rising', backwards. 'Rising' was the first track on Enough Rope's first proper album, and the backwards version is the only track on here to have previously appeared on CD, popping up as a secret track at the end of disc one of that year's double-album 'Noises From Upstairs'.

The closer 'Found' is a 12-minute 'Ropes To Infinity' style looped improvisation recorded intentionally for this (hence the appropriate title). This whole thing actually hangs together fairly well as an album, but let's say it's one for the completist, if this world was insane enough to allow such a thing as an Enough Rope completist to exist.

Oh yeah, I did the design for this, such as it is. You can see the front cover, inlay and back cover.
