From the vault, "Faded Memories" is a collection of lo-fi instrumentals originally released via homemade cds made almost 10 years ago.

These recordings were recorded when Speal lived in a small Pennsylvania trailer park. Experimental, ragged and yet beautiful sounds come from his cigar box guitars and other instruments. This album contains the recordings that would eventually influence his album, "Empty Wooden Box."

These songs originally appeared on the Shane Speal albums, "Surreal 1," Surreal 2," "The Black Album," and "Let Them Eat Beans."
