About I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE SO STRANGE:
This is a single by The Starry Tides, a home recording project from film composer Dave Merson-Hess. It comes with two short animated films (in .m4v format, iPhone-optimized) by the ever-amazing Dax Norman (www.daxnorman.com), and TST's first EP (from 2006) as a bonus.

Pay what you want (including $0).

About the Bonus EP: ONE LIT WINDOW (tracks 3 - 9, plus PDFs of the artwork that came with the original release):
7 tracks of home-recorded "post-rock in miniature" first put to tape 2000-2002, and released in 2006 on Reverse Engine. Blog attention from Milieu and The Modern Music, combined with support from Netwaves DJs @ Radio Scorpio (Leuven, Belgium) have led this first EP to reach over 7000 file downloads via Archive.org's netlabels collection alone.

TST is working on their first full-length album.

"PSTST", An EP of remixes, is in the works. If you would like to remix TST, send an email to thestarrytides@gmail.com or download the source tracks for One Lit Window EP directly from their ccmixter page: ccmixter.org/people/thestarrytides
