"The remaining 3 tracks we recorded specifically for the album. 'Oceans Have No Memory' is a new band recording of a demo that was originally issued on the B-side of the Piano Lessons 7-inch single. 'Access Denied' was written and demoed for Lightbulb Sun but no one liked it except me! So I took the opportunity to re-present it to the band for inclusion on Recordings and this time they let me do it.
"Finally 'Buying New Soul' was a song recorded during writing sessions just after Lightbulb Sun was finished. I think if it had been written a couple of months earlier it would have been included on the album. We thought about holding it back for the next album, but in the end we felt that because the next album is probably going to be moving into different musical waters it should be released now." - Steven Wilson
