Album Info

Release Date: 1997

Labels: Conquer The World Records, Conquer The World Black

LP-format compilation released by Conquer the World Records. Some mistake this as a full-length album but it is actually comprised of remixed versions of 6 out of 7 songs from Thoughts of Ionesco's original June 1996 demo, plus 4 new songs that were at the time unreleased.

Quoting a 2014 interview with Nathan Miller on the Abridged Pause Blog: "Our demo was recorded in June of 1996 and consisted of seven songs, all recorded at the same time. Two of the seven songs went on the 7 inch, we wanted to keep “Prize (To Crawl)” as a B-side. Conquer the World was one of few record labels that replied to us and we were anxious to get our sound out there. “The Triptych Session” was compiled of six remixed songs from the demo session and four new songs. The four new songs were a tribal drum solo from Repa (“Quickening the Pulse of a Grey Noise”), an acoustic recording from Sean done on a four-track (“Commencement”) and two additional songs with Mike Derrick on guitar (“Crimson Reflection” and “Martyr”). “Quickening the Pulse of a Grey Noise” and “Violence Versus Motion” were CD-only tracks, thus not on the vinyl."
