Background
The title refers to a figurative term in the film industry. Scenes were cut in the so-called cutting room, where the deleted and therefore unused scenes fell to the cutting room floor. In accordance with the movie theme, David Schreurs and Vincent Degiorgio are credited as creative directors for creating the visual and conceptual world around the music, like artwork and videos. Each song also has an individual synopsis, written by Degiorgio and added as liner notes to the album artwork.
