Mayfield (1996) Aeroplane (1999) Halfway, Pleased (2008)

It was released in two versions, a 14-song (15 if you count the hidden track) version in 1999 in Canada through the Sour Music label, and a 6-song EP in 2000 on Curt Smith's own Zerodisc label.

The Canadian version contains songs that were originally on the 1998 self-titled album from the band Mayfield (of which Curt Smith was a member). The US release consisted mostly of songs from the Canadian release not found on the Mayfield album. It also contains two versions of Tears For Fears songs, Pale Shelter in a more rock mood and a live acoustic rendition of Everybody wants to rule the world.
