Originally released in 2004, Replay captures one of post-rock's most influential and elusive acts, during their peak years of 1988 to 1994. Bark Psychosis always defied convention -- layering samples and textures to create immersive soundscapes that helped define post-rock when the genre was growing stagnant. One of their key innovations was their use of volume and contrast; dense guitar walls collapse into delicate vocals and synths, revealing the dynamic range at the heart of their sound. This CD repress stays completely true to the original, which features photography from St John's Church, where the five live tracks were recorded in 1991. The setting's natural acoustics perfectly complement the band's expansive, atmospheric approach. This edition also includes rare studio material: re-mastered versions of "Reserve Shotgunman" and "Hex' (first released as B-sides), the cult favorite "Clawhammer" (from a 1988 flexi-disc split with Spacemen 3's Dreamweapon), and a remix of "Big Shot," making it essential for fans and collectors alike.
