Label: Rubellan Remasters
Reissued 5/3/2024, Originally released 1983
The 1983 album Rust Red September by Eyeless in Gaza saw the duo of Martyn Bates and Peter Becker in transition. Gone were the growls and shouts that defined their earlier albums, replaced with a more melodic style at no loss of the excitement of their earlier work. The single New Risen retained an unorthodox tempo and instrumentation, and with a catchy hook that resulted in improved radio play. The experimental side is fully intact with the soaring Pearl And Pale and the thrilling September Hills, while the minimalistic side is present on the delicate Only Whispers and Stealing Autumn. This newly remastered CD reissue includes eight bonus tracks and a 12-page booklet in an eco-wallet gatefold sleeve.
