Hi!
I uploaded previews of two songs off the forthcoming Warrior Creed LP to the Apoptose myspace music player. It seems that mp3 compression alters the sound of snare drums in a very unkind way. But don't worry: the LP will sound crispy! It should be available quite soon.
Best wishes,
Rüdiger / Apoptose
Joy of Life / Apoptose
'Warrior Creed' LP
Details: LP, 5 tracks, 37 minutes
Label: TESCO Organisation
Cat.-No.: TESCO 072
Release date: December 2008
It was in 1988 when the British post punk group Joy of Life released
their song »Warrior Creed«. Apoptose would never forget this
track: the impressive vocals, the stoic drums, the minimalistic
keyboards. 20 years later »Warrior Creed« is back – seen though
Apoptose’s eyes. The voice of Joy of Life leadsinger Gary Carey
has matured and the rhythm section is reinforced by an entire band
of drummers, the Fanfarenzug Leipzig. Now the music sounds even
darker.
This Joy of Life/Apoptose-LP celebrates the return of that classic song.
It features two new interpretations by Apoptose, both sung by Gary
Carey, alongside the original Joy of Life version which was
unavailable for more than a decade. Live-in-studio recordings of the
onstage trance drumming rituals by Apoptose and the Fanfarenzug
Leipzig amplify the intoxicating effect of this vinyl-only release.
The LP is limited to 600 copies and packed in a deluxe gatefold
sleeve with bronze coloured embossing.
