about

The "Zelta Zonk Outtakes" comprise alternative and additional takes of material from their "Studio" years.
All tracks went through a revisiting process by APi in 2020: Tempos got synchronized, excess or too badly performed stretches removed, and instrumentations added.

"Lady of the Fading Sun (alt take)" was originally recorded as an instrumental without drums. Here it got a treatment to sound open, fresh and 'alternate'.

"Kubla Khan (alternate)" originally is performed with different melodic concepts, no vocals. Again some beefing up.

"The Mewlips (laid back)" too received a kind of laid back arrangement, no vocals here either. This refelcts a part of the full length track presented t "Zelta Zonk revisited".

"Farewell to Lorien (revisited)" is a track not published with the first edition of the "Studio" album in 2001. But it was created at the same time as "The Mewlips".
Again the ideas and accordingly the planned voices are based on a poem by J.R.R. Tolkien (from The Lord Of Rings, The Fellowship ...).
This revisiting treatment provides the track with its missing voice (after some 45 years) -- done as a recitation at the musical spots originally intended for vocals.

"The Album" uses a poem by C. Day-Lewis. Again the basic recording from about 1975 was never published. It too went through a polishing and completing process with the existing 'roughness' maintained.

Summer's Lease

One of the fine prog releases from this 'strange' year. And as epic as prog can be (and hopefully will be in future). Recommended! APi
