Originally released back in 2006 on Sony BMG, the record was produced by Paul Northfield (Rush, Porcupine Tree, Dream Theater), and features some of the bands best-loved tracks including ‘The Bright Ambassadors of Morning’, ‘He Tried To Show Them Magic’ & ‘The Intention Craft’. ‘The Dark Third (2020 Reissue) featuring new liner notes from band members Jon Courtney and Chloë Alper as well as producer Paul Northfield. The new LP edition also includes the bonus track ‘Golden Clothes’ which appears on vinyl for the first time. Pure Reason Revolution recently reunited and released ‘Eupnea’, their first new album in nearly 10 years.
"Coming Up To Consciousness" is Pure Reason Revolution’s sixth studio album, and the third of its post-hiatus renaissance that began with 2020's "Eupnea" and continued in 2022's "Above Cirrus". Like those two predecessors, the new record is intensely personal.While the band's distinctive style remains, melding prog and pop through dreamy moods, epic riffs and angelic harmonies, Courtney and Greg Jong also tried to go somewhere a bit different, drawing on influences like Talk Talk, Elliot Smith, The Smile and even Arctic Monkeys in addition to perennial favourites - especially Pink Floyd.
Pure Reason Revolution return with their fifth studio album, ‘Above Cirrus’, in May 2022, their second since reuniting in 2019. The band’s rebirth saw them going back to their earliest influences, and ‘Above Cirrus’ sees them reaching ever deeper into the atmospheric, cinematic psych-prog compositions that made ‘Eupnea’ such a rapturously received return. Based around the core trio of Jon Courtney, Chloe Alper & Greg Jong, the new album manages to expand the bands sound palette ever further.
