ANUBIS SPIRE releases retrospective CD: BACK TO ABYDOS. Post progressive/world fusion band ANUBIS SPIRE have released a retrospective CD containing the most sought after material from their early, live and unreleased recordings.

According to Random Bullet Record's artist relations manager, Kathy Stewart: "Back to Abydos finally brings together on one CD the most sought after songs from Anubis Spire's early, live, and unreleased material. From the eerie guitar-soundscape REVENANTS to the smoldering longing of LOVE FROM NOTHING AT ALL, these pieces showcase the band's stunning diversity and musically adventurous spirit."

Speaking of the why and how behind the release, she adds: "Unlike many other retrospective and 'live' albums where the songs are heavily digitally post processed and sometimes even totally re-recorded, we've opted to present the pieces in all their un-retouched and imperfect glory. They should be viewed as musical snapshots in time, complete with amp hum, pick scrapes, PA glitches and all the other unplanned for events that make a true improvised performance a dance with unseen forces rather than a cold, practiced and mechanistic exercise. True to course, the diversity of styles is stunning. In an ever narrowing and polarized musical world Anubis Spire is forever expanding."

BACK TO ABYDOS features ten songs ranging from early live improvisations to two orphaned tracks (DRAMA, TRAUMA AND AWKWARD GRACE and WHIRLING TOWARD SHAMBALAH) taken from the first "Children of a Foreign Faith" sessions before leader Bill MacKechnie scrapped the uncompleted project and reorganized the group.

BACK TO ABYDOS will be officially released world-wide on August third. It can be pre-ordered now at AMAZON.COM, CD UNIVERSE and many other music retailers and will be hitting digital download sites such as ITUNES, EMUSIC etc. in the very near future.
