No backstory necessary because you already know the stories that went into making each track from the full versions, and these naturally are their instrumental versions, although I will say that running them back and playing them through, I actually was really grooving to them as I was busy doing last minute sound level edits, tracklist ordering, cover design, etc. and I played through it about 5 times in a row, so this is DEFINITELY a good project to play straight through for getting work done, dancing/working out, cleaning up, and various other activities!
