I will add Terminal and Oak to the 11 songs of the record, but if I have to substitute two songs, that's Mighty Man and Beryl out.

It seems like the bonus tracks are pretty good stuff.......if you ask people here at the forum  :)

It's not a big surprise. Sometimes it's hard to understand why some great songs are left outside the album. ???

I can't do it.
I tried to sort out "Mighty Man" (which is hard, because it's a grower for me, and it has such good lyrics) and "Wherever i go" (which is not so hard).

But in MUST "Terminal of Tribute to", "Oklahoma Ponies" and "My heart has never changed". So i give up and I strongly suggest a double album.  :wave

Would somebody please start a poll with eleven possible choices? :)

It would bring a better perspective to the thread. Thank you!  :wave

To start with 'Oklahoma Ponies' is a good idea though I seriously doubt Mark would start an album with not his music and with 'kick ass' in the first line.
