It is the 20th anniversary
of the band Zone Six. Dave is the sole member left from the original band,
which were a trio (Hans- Peter,- Guitar, Claus- Drums, Dave- Bass). Most people
are only familiar with the CD version of this record, which included vocals,
while the original cassette tape version is super rare and instrumental. That
is what is on this vinyl and CD release and heard for the first time. Just two tracks 27 and 24mins in length. The
first track is a slow builder with a very open sound production. Hans Peter plays
some pretty cool guitar at times. You will remember him from Liquid Visions. A very good interaction between the three guys. I really wish Dave would play more bass these days. He was a great bass player. The 2nd track starts off in a reggae dub mode but moves on and twists and turns freaks out but never to level that the band would achieve in later line ups. It is
cool to finally see this out on a vinyl. A unique snap shot in time..
This is a site where I post reviews of CDs, DVDs, LPs, and concerts. I have been writing music reviews on and off since 1984. I ran a heavy metal fanzine from 1984-1988 called Metal Madness and have been a staff writer for Aural Innovations for many years. I have also contributed to Chrohinga Well (RIP), Bad Acid (RIP), Lowcut (RIP), Roadburn and a number of other zines as well. I recently moved to Portugal so please request the new address and do not send any music to Denmark anymore. Tak..
