Track listing
The Wingless Shorts are a collection of micro-films and experimental projects by Wingless Films that fall outside the group's central filmography. This album compiles several original cues featured in some of these works, as well as demos and early takes of score tracks.
Tracks one and two were composed for Fires of Childhood, a short by Jim Elton recalling an incident from his childhood centred around an episode of the 1966 Batman television series. Both tracks contain references to Danny Elfman's score to the 1989 Batman film, and "Switch on and Relax" also homages "The Clouds Pass" from The End of Time, Part 2.
Tracks three and four likewise feature music composed for Colourization of a Journey. "Seven Colours" was intended to introduce a new instrument for each of the seven successive colours highlighted in the short, although the cue was left unused in favour of the existing "Gilt Fossil". Track five is the score cue from Fifty, which utilises the "Despair Theme" also heard in Bounded.
Other Wingless Shorts entries not represented on this album include All Angels, A Flat Abstraction and Cloud Dance.
