Official Bio
Fans of Ikon rejoice!
Because this is a
remastered and expanded re-issue of the first release from this
legendary band. Originally it appeared in 1994 as a 7” vinyl,
sometime later it was released on CD; all of this was previous to be
signed by the European label Apollyon, their long-time record label.
Last year (almost 20 years later); Chris found the original master
reels and began to work in the digital enhancement of this recording.
The second Cd of this re-issue includes some tracks from the personal
tape collection of Chris; and this is a pretty interesting extra. If
this is not enough, there are some exclusive USB content with even
more stuff, including previously unreleased tracks, demo versions,
and some alternate mixes; this is pretty cool. We have 30 tracks in
total for this special re-release. This is the kind of stuff that
usually we look for when are searching for bootlegs. The great thing
here is the fact that every track here has been mixed, and treated
with professional quality, and this is really awesome. For example:
in the second CD you can find some cover-version of The Beatles’
“Eleanor Rigby”, the original demo recording of “Truth” ,
different versions of “So Far Away”, some “electronic demo" version of “Suicide”; and lots of great stuff. The USB
exclusive tracks have ten songs, including unreleased stuff, demo
versions, and some different mixes of songs like: “Echoes Of
Silence” and “Dreaming”
This is a wonderful release, a definitive
celebration for more than 20 years of great music delivered by this
legendary band. The fans of Ikon will be really happy with this
wonderful anthology of the early times of this band, and this is a
must-have for everyone who loves Gothic Rock. Don’t miss it.
