Amebix - Redux (Pic Disc) - [Vinyl]

Time comes in cycles sometimes what we thought we left behind suddenly catches up with us and changes the 'Plan'. Amebix vowed never to play again after the sad ending of the band in 1987, out of steam and with little support we simply drifted apart. It wasn't until the advent of the internet that it became apparent that we had left a wake in our passing, which had in turn passed the torch on to those who would follow. There was some satisfaction in that, and also some niggling feeling that we had never really had our 'day in the sun', but as I say, time comes in cycles. Stig, Roy & I all got together for the first time in 2008, I had not picked up a bass guitar for 22 years, whilst Stig had kept his hand in with his own projects and Roy Mayorga has barely left a drum stool since his early days in Nausea, but it was the first time that we had all met, let alone played together. The brief was to try and re-visit three songs, to see what there was left of the music that had driven us so hard when we were just kids. If it didn't work, we would all have tried anyway and had a good experience along with it. But it did work, the first track we recorded was WINTER, the first take was the one we kept, and that is ultimately the version you hear. We all stood around a bit stunned, this is easy ..lets crack into Arise!...........nailed! As the tracks came together, we realised that a door was opening, and that we had a choice, to walk along this road again or hang up the strap for good. Personally I am glad that we walked on, 2009 was a great year, a time of celebration and rebirth, and a vindication of the body of work that we had spent ten years on, which found a home within the souls of so many good people.
