Reviews

zgaspen Jul 25, 2022
Difficult at first identifying what this LP. Sounds in parts as if it could have been recorded today, not 40 years ago.

Best summed up by the label: "Alien Blood is the result of the band’s meticulous process of revisiting the original 2” tapes of their studio sessions and recordings, unearthing never-before-heard material, whilst exposing the raw skeletons of iconic tracks such as the original velocity of “Thief of Fire (Bass Addict)”. Alien Blood reveals the life of Y before everything was finalized, exposing revelatory dimensions within these iconic works."
