The Ocean (Collective): Aeolian auf 2 LPs

Product Information

"Fluxion" and "Aeolian" were recorded in the same session in 2004 and 2005, but initially released separately, and only on CD. 3 pressings of the later combined vinyl release of "Fluxion" and "Aeolian" (with different artwork) already sold out, the last one in 2009.

This is a vinyl re-issue of only "Aeolian". 2 LPs in a gatefold sleeve with gold hot foil stamping / engraving. Printed inner sleeves. Comes with download code. Side D contains bonus tracks of the rare 2002 demo: an early, longer (12 minutes!) version of the track "Queen Of The Food Chain", and an early version of the track "Inertia", both recorded live at the University of Fine Arts (HdK) in Berlin.

The Ocean's past two years of existence have been some of the most exhilarating in their eleven year history. The band completed tours in North America and Europe, as is common for many bands, but they added Russia, including Siberia, as well as China, Hong Kong, Southeast Asia, and Australia to the collage of stamps in their passports. OPETH, THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN, BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME and DEVIN TOWNSEND are only some of the bands that The Ocean have supported on tour during their campaign to promote Heliocentric and Anthropocentric, and bands like RED FANG, INTRONAUT or KYLESA have supported The Ocean.

The band's tireless efforts and the experience of more than 1000 concerts across the globe have afforded them one of the most truly worldwide fan bases in heavy music.
