Island Of The Lost Keyboards (Neal's Mix)

Jewel case with black tray and 1 page insert as cover. This is the Inner Circle fan club release for November 2012. As with any album, someone or someones decide what to leave in and what to take out. This is generally how the process works in my world: we musicians throw everything in the soup and then the producer and/or the person mixing has to make the choices about what is better or worse. Of course it is totally subjective and many times there are disagreements. Most of the time I am very involved in the process, but, with FLYING COLORS I felt like, with so many chefs in the kitchen, it would be better for me to lay out and let great people like Peter Collins and Michael Brauer make the tough calls. I want to go on record as saying that I think Peter and Michael made fine choices and the end result speaks for itself. However, I thought you all might enjoy hearing some of the parts that were left on the cutting room floor. So, here it is... all of my bits that didn't get used, some of which I still miss from the final, some of which I agree the record is better of without. How's that for diplomacy!!:) Enjoy! - Neal, Oct 1, 2012
