The Ashfield Sessions

Anderson released an earlier version of the compositions on Secret Curve as a limited edition live CDR called The Ashfield Sessions in 2008. 150 hand numbered copies were made.[2] Alex Lozupone said about the material "The new Pak has a tendency to fall into grooves more easily than the old (Ron is a bassist now!), which makes for a different sound - not a bad thing at all.".
