Queen EP

Like Ten Rapid but with a more awkward name, Mogwai [EP+6] collects some of the experimental rock titans' singles and EPs with such a natural feel that it almost seems like it was designed as an album. In this case, 1997's 4 Satin EP is joined with 1999's self-titled EP and "Xmas Steps," the single version of Come on Die Young's track. The 13-and-a-half-minute "Stereodee" is just as compelling an epic as any of the tracks that wound up on either of those albums, showcasing the band's masterful way with ebbing, flowing, letting a song explode, and pulling it back together again. "Xmas Steps" – which is a minute longer than the album version of the song – also shows how expertly Mogwai can play with time and dynamics as they scale a mountain of sound that turns out to be a volcano when they get to the top.

In one regard, Queen II does indeed provide more of the same thing as on the band's debut. Certainly, of all the other albums in Queen's catalog it bears the closest resemblance to its immediate predecessor, particularly in its lean, hard attack and in how it has only one song that is well-known to listeners outside of their hardcore cult: in this case, it's "Seven Seas of Rhye," which is itself more elliptical than "Keep Yourself Alive," the big song from the debut…

Queen II was a breakthrough in terms of power and ambition, but Queen's third album Sheer Heart Attack was where the band started to gel. It followed quickly on the heels of the second record – just by a matter of months; it was the second album they released in 1974 – but it feels like it had a longer incubation period, so great is the progress here…

Produced & engineered by none other than the highly skilled and renowned duo team of Kurt Maas & Dave Rave Ogilvie, this new album invites you to open up and enjoy these new “ZBM” tunes going from catchy dance pop songs to harsher somber distorted tracks. Boosted by dancefloor guru Lawrie Bayldon (STUDIO-X)’s mastering skills, the electrifying “Killer Queen” shakes your stereo system to the max with ZOMBIE GIRL’s characteristic heavy vibrating basslines, addictive kinky grooves and that soooo unique hypnotizing female voice that keeps haunting you days and nights. The album comes in a deluxe 2CD carton box edition with a bonus disc including an exclusive collaboration with HELALYN FLOWERS (and guest backing vocals by n0emi) and other remix work by an eclectic selection of artists in the like of PSY’AVIAH, ACYLUM, SIMON CARTER, VENAL FLESH, LLUMEN, PAX SONO, AVARICE IN AUDIO, EEXXEE, CARDINAL NOIRE, BLACK NAIL CABARET…
