Demon: "Howdy, Jake. So, did you have a nice trip?" Jake: "I'm here. I did what you asked. Now what?" Demon: "Fifty miles, thataway. There's a cemetery. A crypt. You got to open that for me. Think you can manage that, sport?" Jake: "You know what? Screw you and your freaky orders. Go do it yourself." Demon: "Oh, I can't. I can't go that way— not yet." Jake: "Why not?" Demon: "...I just can't. But if you're gonna open that crypt for me, you're gonna need a key." Jake: "A gun?" Demon: "Oh, this isn't just any gun, Jake. Here, take it." Demon: "Go ahead, Jake. Squeeze that trigger. Be all you can be. This'll all be over. Your life can go back to normal. Jake: "Why me?" Demon: "Oh, Jake. It's got to be you. I've been waiting for you for a very long time."

about

With tracks spanning his entire 4-album discography, 'A Selection Of Background Music' is probably the definitive Lapse compilation.

The first disc (tracks 1 to 9) are the more tuneful, beat-heavy Lapse tracks selected to represent the accessible side of his music. On the other hand, disc two (tracks 10 to 18) are the real "background music", selecting heavily sound-driven pieces with lots of foley, experimentation and atmosphere.

This compilation's title was inspired by a family member, who - upon being shown songs from the Lapse album 'Rimebound' - said the following: "It's kinda like...background music you'd hear at a massage place".
