The Romance of Ruins
The Residents worked on many things that were abandoned. Projects that proved unsatisfactory, unrealistic ideas, or even just directions that failed to hold their attention. Previously this would mean the ideas were shelved. But in these modern times, the download store is able to dig out some of the odd, the unfinished, the random and present it to the public. The Residents do not consider these projects to really exist, but the necessity to maintain accurate records means that they need a home in the Historical, even if it is a sad one tucked away next to the graveyard. There is a romance in ruins, hear what could have been, appreciate the flaws for the beauty they might contain as testaments to also being creations.
