Eyeless In Gaza - Plague Of Years

This CD deals with two sides of the group. First is its deeply lyrical vein, with summits like See Red and Lights of April, tracks that have almost never been included on "best-of" projects, despite the fact that they represent some of the most moving songs these musicians ever wrote. This collection also explores the group's more adventurous side through a number of instrumental pieces. This aspect of their output is little known and often neglected, even though it was there from their very beginnings. These two combining currents, where experimentation precedes lyricism (and the other way around), turn this album into a truly new way of (re)discovering Eyeless in Gaza. This unique architecture creates the impression that each side strengthens the other one's presence. Probably for the first time ever, the 21 tracks so redistributed provide the band with irrefutable arguments toward its rebirth. Yes, Eyeless in Gaza is one of the most underrated groups. Let us hope these two CD siblings finally set the record straight. In this world of ours, will integrity finally pay off ? track listing Songs and  Instrumentals 1980-2006 01   mock sun (instrumental) 1994 02   reminding pictures 1994 03   every which way  1981 04   mixed choir (instrumental) 2005 05   one by one  1982 06   before december.
