Davíd Garza – A Strange Mess of Flowers

Release: 2004
Format: CD
Notes: 71 songs including 30 unreleased tracks spanning 1989-2003 on 4 discs, plus a DVD.  Corrections from the liner notes: Spirit is an alternate version with different lyrics than the original (listed as being the Summer Songs 1 version); Burning is not the 1000 Copies version as listed in the liners, but is a new (2003) recording; Neva is not the version from Secret Album, but a different recording; Blast is not the version from Summer Songs 5, but a different recording; Italia is listed as being from 1990, but it’s probably a typo and from 1999.  A few songs listed in the liners as from Summer Songs 4 are actually from Summer Songs 5, they’re corrected here.  Any edited/extended versions are listed below.
