April 8, 2009-- "Desert Opuses" cds have arrived. The cd version has
two songs that aren't on the vinyl: "Evilution" and "Stripped Ruins",
and there's a few ways that the cd and vinyl version differ--including
some different art designs and layout.
Purchase "Desert Opuses" now--vinyl or
cd-- and get a limited edition download
for a "Mountains Of the Pharoahs" 5 song EP,
including one new song, one song dating back to the "Night Songs"
sessions roughly from 2004, one atmospheric demo song going
back to
1997, and an orchestral remix of "Mountains of the Pharoahs". Also
included are photos of scratch lyric sheets and some other information
about the songs on how they were written and mixed, as well as some
other technical information.

Based on a Middle Eastern theme, both musically and lyrically, it ups the tempo and aggression level of "Night Songs" ' heaviness, while increasing the mechanical, robotic feel of it's predecessor. Shorter, more concise and a bit less epic (but still epic nonetheless), the songs are at once more immediate and still melodic, never relying only on pure heaviness for it's sonic bludgeoning. "Desert Opuses" ' world is one of drum machines versus acoustic drums; tubes versus transistors; live performances versus studio effectation; eras past versus the future/ now. Sonic paranoia never sounded so good.
It is on translucent gold 140 gram vinyl (400 copies only), and includes one track not on the cd release, "The Desert Winds", and a different mix of "Obliteration" (not available via digital download/ cd, only by dropping the needle to the groove). Purchase of vinyl entitles one to a free coupon for a digital download of the release, including a track not on the vinyl, "Stripped Ruins".
