In the mailing sent out today about “Prayer at the Gate” there is a picture of a studio note reading OCTOBER MIXES that mentions LCO, which I assume is London Contemporary Orchestra (who have worked, among others, with Radiohead / Thom Yorke / Jonny Greenwood / The Smile).
I think this is the second time I see them mentioned in Polly’s studio notes so it’s possible they were seriously considered for at least some of the I Inside… songs. I wonder if actual recording sessions with them took place? Who arranged the strings? I guess we’ll never know but the idea of Polly singing backed by an orchestral ensemble is very interesting.

That's really cool... You know that the other day I was watching a video from the Amoeba channel, a segment called "What's in my bag?" in which musicians choose records from the store, and a lady with great taste chose the IITOYD vinyl, and commented that Polly had recorded a more band-oriented and grander version of the album, but she showed the result to a friend and he convinced her to re-recorded it as the more personal and stripped-back version we know today. This kinda corroborates what that lady said.
