Concept Frontman described the album: 'Six of the songs are taken from singles that were released in 1999 and 2000. Sometimes tracks don't make it on to an album first time around not for reasons of quality (or lack of), but perhaps because they just didn't fit onto the album, or one member of the band wasn't happy with the track. Also perceptions can change and I think we all felt in hindsight that these six tracks deserved to be heard by a wider audience.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 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.' Recording and release The album opener, 'Buying New Soul', was unreleased prior to the release of the album. It was recorded on 15 March 2000, prior to the actual release of, but after it had actually been completed in January 2000.

The track 'Cure for Optimism' and the instrumental 'Untitled' were originally released on the ' CD single.

Critical reception Professional ratings Review scores Source Rating DPRP (8.5/10) Reception for the album was quite positive, with many reviewers concluding that, while the album didn't quite flow together as well as most Porcupine Tree albums do (due to it being a collection of b-sides), the songs themselves were still quite good. Aspects of the album that were praised included the experimental nature of the songs and the inclusion of the complete, full length version of 'Even Less'. Track listing All tracks written by Steven Wilson except 'Buying New Soul', 'Untitled', and 'Ambulance Chasing', which are credited to all four band members.
