In 2006, we released an album called Dusk. Perhaps you remember it?
No, I didn't think so. It wasn't exactly widely released.
But the two or three years that followed were decisive for us. We released five singles from the album, each positively overflowing with bonus tracks (most of them were bigger than your average EP). Some of them were pretty successful. Depending on how you measure success, of course.
But by 2009, we were busy beavering away on what would ultimately become Transmission, and so its predecessor kind of got a bit forgotten. We left a few tracks online, but we neglected the full album. We're really sorry about that. If there's anything we can do to make it up to you...
Well, of course, there is! In a couple of weeks, Dusk is coming back! A brand new full-length version of the album in its pure, unadulterated form.
By which I mean that we haven't bothered remastering it or anything. It's true, we thought about it, but in the end we decided that for all its quirks and foibles, this is how we sounded in 2006. And that's how the record should stay.
What we have done is worked pretty hard on the packaging. To make up for the slightly spartan sleeve on the original release, you now get a luxuriant 16-page booklet full of new sleeve notes and photos from the era, many of them never before seen.
So, coming very shortly: a brand new reissue of our most successful album to date, Dusk.
