TRAUMAS, MISHAPS & OTHER PLEASURES (Peter Scion 1997-2002)



PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED

There are many more songs that never found their way onto any of the regular albums. Every album I made spawned several outtakes (except for "Sister Songs" which produced only one). Some of them were pure crap, while others were rejected simply because they didn't fit in with the rest of a certain album. A couple of songs were also released on various artists compilation, and many tracks were recorded for no particular reason at all.

I've had a compilation gathering such songs in one place in mind for a long, long time. Domestica mainman Lars and I discussed the tentatively named "Sciontology" every now and then, and we even got as far as to officially promise one. But the compilation never happened. The closest I got was the first volume of the website release "Archive Series" which was a haphazard dig into the archives.

A straight reissue of "The Archive Series" seemed pointless when I now have a proper chance to collect unreleased material in one, better place. "Traumas, Mishaps & Other Pleasures" is a double album sized compilation spanning my solo career, from "Devachan" up to the days of "Sister Songs". (Archival recordings by Pangolin, Continental Soul Searchers and Modryn are sampled elsewhere.)

This compilation is a blend of previously unreleased songs and alternate versions, as well as songs provided for the abovementioned various artists comps. All in all, "Traumas" is
an alternate way to tell the Peter Scion story; a meal made from the juiciest bits from the garbage can.
