Hi Yo Tonto...Away! (notes)

Hi Yo Tonto... Away! Is the result of another daring raid on the sonic badlands of Winker's attic archive. As such it's a companion to the previous limited edition Demology set. The tracks included here are mostly outtakes and excerpts, fragments of soundtracks (for film and imaginary) and the early working versions of songs, which you may already know and (hopefully) love. You might like to think of them as rescued damsels, prised from the blackhead of obscurity or the dusty grip of yesteryear and revisited with tenderness and a rueful smile. For myself, I prefer to see them as signposts on a journey that's perpetually somewhere between here and there As for that masked man... well who knows? The clues, as always are all around.
