Still Restless: The Lost Tapes is a 1999 album by Skydiggers.

The album is a different recording of the band's 1992 disc Restless. The 1996 bankruptcy of FRE Records had left the original album, the band's most popular, unavailable in record stores. When they failed to regain control of the master tapes, the band chose to release the rehearsal tapes they had made prior to the recording of Restless.

The track sequencing is significantly different from that of the original album. One track from Restless, "It's Sunday Pouring Down Rain", was not on the new album; instead, a different version of "Joanne", a track from their 1993 album Just Over This Mountain, was substituted. The album also contains two new tracks, including a rendition of the Christmas carol "Good King Wenceslas".
