I think this isn`t totally correct. Maybe at first SYR`s meaning was to be pre-versions of album material, but already in SYR3 they seem to change direction to the total experimentalism. And in SYR4 there is just art music from other composers. Then came Kimīs collaboration. After that they started to release earlier experimental performances. So I think the meaning of SYR is just to release out-of-normal-album stuff, kind of too experimental stuff to the normal albums. Why there isnīt any Leeīs vocals, thatīs mystery to me, because heīs doing vocals in his very experimental solos. Thurstonīs experimental solos very rare include vocals, am I right?
And thatīs Leeīs part isnīt also right. I think for example Mote has made by Thurston & Kim mostly, but Lee sings it. I think they do songs very collectively in SY.
