The shy & retiring Rothko have been quiet of late, with main honcho Mr Beazley some experimental recordings under his own name. Here's a new CD called 'A Life Lived Elsewhere' which compiles some of the best tracks from their back catalogue. The triple bass wonders made some delightful tunes and here's a great place to start if you're unaware of them and they're all wrapped up in a neat black box with badges etc... Apparently there's only a couple of hundred of these and we've only got a handful. On here are tracks from the split single with Tarentel that I released many years ago as well as tracks from previous releases on leaf, Livid Meerkat, Lo, KRAAK, Disasters By Choice, Zeal Bucolique and loads more. It's great to hear them again as no one ever did and no one ever probably will sound like this. A new record is in the pipeline apparently, can't wait!! Super Smashing Great!
After more than 11 years of releasing music under the name Rothko, Mark Beazley has compiled this limited edition CD and is releasing it on his own Trace Recordings label. Featuring recordings from the very first incarnation of the group from 1996 right through to 2007, A Life Lived Elsewhere sets out to document the output of the band. Included in the album are rarities, vinyl only releases, obscure compilation album tracks and also some previously un-released material. Each CD comes in bespoke packaging, featuring detailed track listing and recording information. 300 are being made, we are getting 225 for retail only. Whilst probably being only for the very few interested in the recorded history of the group, it s hoped that A Life Lived Elsewhere will provide an interesting and curious counterpoint to the already extensive Rothko catalogue.
