| Info: | The Burning Circle and Then Dust is
Lycia’s fourth studio recording, originally released on
double CD via Projekt Records in 1995. Save for a very small CD
re-release in 2006 by Silber Records, the album has never been reissued
since – and never before on Vinyl! Mike VanPortfleet himself
commented: “After several years of doing more synth oriented
material I wanted a return to my guitar roots (in particular English
post punk and 4AD). Lycia started as a guitar based band and I wanted
to reaffirm that with disc one, which was originally going to be the
release. I was also listening to a lot of shoegaze then, which inspired
a return of making the guitars, as opposed to the synths, the focal
point of the atmospherics.”. Many things have been said about
the album along the last twentyeight years, and the band chose the
following to describe the record. From Projekt.com. - The Burning Circle And Then Dust was a groundbreaking point in Lycia’s career. It marked a shift from more atmospheric music towards song-oriented music with tracks like “Pray” & “Slip Away.” It marked the first collaborations between Mike VanPortfleet & Lycia members David Galas & Tara Vanflower. It marked the transformation of Lycia into a honed out live touring machine. From Pandamonium Magazine via Projekt.com. - Moving back into more formal song structures, Burning Circle returns to true song-writing, and places equal emphasis on guitar as the electronics. However, the music is as intense and powerful as ever, conjuring up vast vistas of soundscapes which are captured in delicate webs of song and structure. Songs like “Pray” are positively dance friendly, while others find Lycia moving towards the fertile ground of darkpop. Breath- taking in scope and beauty, exultant in vision, exhilarating in sensory delight. Lycia have arrived. From Ned Raggett of AllMusic - a high point of American dark rock and the band's greatest and most ambitious work. |
