The Cutting Room Floor Commentary:
As the band brought Films For Radio in for a landing, Linford and Karin felt that something was missing at the 11th hour and did some more writing. Karin’s song When I Go arrived on the scene during this time and became the final track of Films For Radio.
Songs such as Green-Clouded Swallowtail and I Let It Go also arrived and found their way onto many a setlist.
9-11 happened and Karin began singing Neil Young’s Helpless – part requiem, part psalm, part cry for help. Her version found its way onto the BBC and received fairly significant airplay abroad.
The Cutting Room Floor became a sort of Films For Radio Special Features disc and contained deleted scenes, the musical equivalent of director’s commentary and assorted out-takes from this important Over the Rhine chapter.
Hope you enjoy it.
